“One of the few things I learned this past few months is being empathic as a Teacher. See, here, you can not wake up and give your students an F even if you have valid reasons. You cannot try it. Before a student fails a course, there are various means you must have exhausted before asking them to retake the course. Let me break it down for you. So few weeks after the semester has started, the school will email you and ask you to identify students not doing well and has the possibility of failing your course. It is called early warning alert. It could be students not attending classes, not turning in assignments or not having textbooks or doing the wrong assignments. You will also identify the students doing good and the people just trying. The reports will be sent to the students and their success coaches. Each student has a success coach attached to them. The teacher, the success coach and the student will look at the issue, find out what’s happening and why the student isn’t meeting...

  A graduate school letter of intent is a short essay outlining a person's achievements, skills, and goals within a certain field of study that would strengthen an application to a graduate school program within a given field. What is the purpose of a letter of intent for graduate school? Research-oriented graduate programs (Masters and PhD) often require applicants to submit letters of intent. Typically, a program admissions committee uses the letter of intent to determine whether the applicant's academic and career goals fit with the program and the professors' areas of expertise. A Graduate school letter of intent should therefore  include information on one's academic background, how you became interested in graduate school, your academic achievements, and other credentials. Since they primarily concentrate on students' intellectual backgrounds rather than personal ones, these letters differ from personal statements in this regard. It's vital to review the i...

For people asking me how to get fully funded scholarships, take time to read and digest this information. Let's go🔽: 1. Go to University pages in different countries, look for your course, and email professors in your field. (This is the best and most efficient).  2. Look for Government/school-funded Scholarships in different countries of the world. Check their criteria, and apply. I have explained how to get fully-funded scholarships in Sweden, Germany, France, UAE, Australia, Poland, Norway, Japan,etc. Check my pinned tweets again. Note that this method is more competitive because it is already public. 3. Look for advertised Positions by Lecturers or Departments: Sometimes, lecturers advertise scholarship positions in their labs. I usually post many of these on this street. Send emails to the lecturers and attach whatever documents they require.  4. There are many schools in the USA and UK where you don't need to send emails to Profs. They specifically mention on their webs...

AD Scientific Index” is the first and only study that shows the total and the last five-year productivity coefficients of scientists based on h-index and i10 index scores and citations  Total 13.519 university, 203 country, 710.203 scientists  Top 10.000 Reports: World, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America, Oceania  How can I be included in the “AD Scientific Index”?  Go to your personal page and click PRINT for proof of your rankings. Methodology          Ranking academic journals according to the impact factor is a practice that started many years ago. The need to access scientifically valuable studies within limited time frames or the need to find scientists working in a certain field has led to the procedure of ranking scientists and scientific studies. For this purpose, many scoring systems such as the h-index, i10 index, g-index, m-index, the Erdös number, tori index, riq index, and read-10 index have been studied as numer...
