What is the best time for studying?

“Time is precious” a proverb that everyone knows but seldom values its richness. But a person who knows the secret to time management only value the preciousness of time.If you love and enjoy your education, Every time will be the right time. If you really want a plan to cover certain targets or hours then I would suggest you to,Wake up at 5 in the morning complete your daily needs warm up a bit, take shower and start studying subject which requires memory power. Continue for 3 hours or so and must take short breaks after every 1 hour and take some fresh air.Do your breakfast read the newspaper a bit and then go back to study. Now do something calculative like physics or maths if you are from science. Continue for 2hours. Don't take break this time because its just 2 hours and you need to give lots of focus on calculations. So breaks might deviate you.If you have college , I guess you come back home at 5/6 in the evening take some rest get refreshed eat something and start studying from 7 to 9:30. This is an important 2.5 hours. You need to revise all the subject that you learned today in college or coaching within that short time. Plan it wellDo your dinner and stuffs and return to your study table by 10 and continue till 1. During this 3 hours do something moderate, chemistry for instance.Revision is a must thing for success. Utilize your sundays properly. You can add some extra 2–3 hours in your schedule for revision of the week.And also create weekly targets for better results.So in weekends 12–13 hours and weekdays 8–10hours. I think that's the best way you can utilize time.Good luck! Enjoy the education! Stay disciplined!

Substitute teaching advice for middle school?

The first thing to remember is that each class is less than an hour so regardless of how bad it is, it won't last long. You get a fresh start every hour. I prefer subbing in middle school because the students are becoming more abstract in their thinking.

Now, for a few tricks.

Whatever the teacher leaves for the assignment, it is due AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. This gets the students focused on the assignment. If not all, at least some of it. Otherwise, the students will use the time to goof off. When the students protest, tell them to take it up with their teacher tomorrow. Leave a note for the teacher to let them him/her know what you did.

The second trick: Instead of yelling to get their attention, start writing. Write about anything: shopping list, decor of the room, a letter to Aunt Sally, the behavior of the students, etc. The students already know you are there and will be watching for a reaction. When they see you writing, they will assume it is about them. When they ask what you are writing, tell them it is a private note. Do not elaborate. I have discovered this works remarkably well.

If things do not go well for you, leave a detailed note for the teacher. It has been my experience that most teachers do not like their students misbehaving for a "guest" teacher.

Go have fun with the little monsters.

Occupational Therapist Advice?

I am an undergrad student interested in Occupational Therapy. I am required for Grad School to get experience such as volunteer work, as well as an actual paid medical job, preferably under an actual OT or similar. I do not have a certificate as a COTA or anything like that and I do not have the money or the time to obtain a certificate. I need to find an entry level medical job related to OT that does not require prior experience or a certificate. I have heard of OT aides but I cannot seem to find any jobs for this anywhere. If any OTs could help me out and give me some advice on how to go about this or what they did before grad school that would be awesome. Thanks :)

Which is harder, the Leaving Cert or A-Levels harder?

I have heard in some places that the Leaving Cert is much harder and in others that the A-Levels are harder.

People answering that A-Levels are harder need to remember that people taking the Leaving Cert twice as many subjects as those doing the A-Levels, so don't simply compare individual exams.
