Is Chemistry a Physical Science?

Is Chemistry a Physical Science?You may be wondering whether or not Chemistry is a physical science. You may even be unsure of what the definition of the word 'science' actually means. It is easy to confuse chemistry with physics. Both sciences deal with how matter behaves in its natural environment.Physics and chemistry were once synonymous. Today, they are separate disciplines. Both are based on empirical findings.The study of the physical nature of matter, or the study of the reactions that take place in matter. This is important because if you are studying the process of molecular dissociation then it is important that you know about the physical nature of molecules.In a chemical reaction, the molecules are transformed from one form to another through the action of an outside force. Once the molecules are in their transformed state, they can then combine with other molecules to form larger structures that ultimately produce the products that we see.These chemical reactions are ve ry complex in nature and difficult to predict. Physicists have developed their own models for understanding the process, but we cannot actually predict what is going to happen when a particular chemical reaction takes place.We can model the actual chemical reactions but we cannot actually predict exactly how they will occur. Most researchers in the field of chemistry do not use mathematical models but rather the experience of laboratory experiments in attempting to explain how chemistry happens.Both physics and chemistry can be considered physical sciences. What really distinguishes them is the use of mathematical models in order to make sense of the data gathered.

Angels Airwaves Exclusive The Best Guitar Accessories

Angels Airwaves Exclusive The Best Guitar Accessories Suzy S. A few weeks ago, we featured an exclusive interview with Angels and Airwaves guitarist David Kennedy. If youre aiming for that AVA sound, we sat down with David again to find out exactly what gear he uses with the band. Read on to check out his recommendations for the best guitar and best guitar accessories Best Guitar There are two basic guitar styles to consider. The Epiphone Les Paul covers one side of guitar playing, and the Fender Stratocaster covers the other. The Les Paul is very clean, warm, and heavier-sounding, so that’s good if you’re playing a lot of power chords. The Strat is a more bright and vibrant sound, like U2 for example. So it just depends on the sound you’re going after. Best Guitar Strings I use Ernie Balls heavy gauge strings I’ve used those my whole life. I like the heavier strings because I have big hands, and the heavier the strings are, the more rigid they are. I’m definitely not a delicate player, so I need the heavier strings. But if youre a lighter player, they make a light version too. Best Amp I use a Fender Twin Reverb, those are really nice. The Vox AC30 is another good one. Theyre compact, but you can also grow with them you can use it in your apartment, or mic em up when youre on stage playing. Best Guitar Pedals for Effects We use a digital delay pedal, which allows you to create different repetitions it just repeats the note you play. The rest of our sound comes from the amp, though, which has two channels, clean and dirty. Best Guitar Pick Guitar picks can be really subjective you really have to experiment and play around with what works for you. I use Tortex in a medium weight. They also have a heavy weight and a light weight, for more delicate playing. For me, I cant feel the strings with the lighter picks. Most guitar accessories are subjective like this, so just keep that in mind! Best Tuner I have a Vox tuner, and we use a rackmount in the studio.  Tuners are pretty self-explanatory, so theres not really a best brand or type, but its really important to have. As a beginner, when youre not as knowledgeable, you dont even realize youre playing out of tune until youre jamming with other people and youll notice it then. Tuning your guitar correctly can make a huge difference, and it makes everything so much more fun when it sounds right! Readers, what are you favorite guitar accessories or brands?

A Day in the Life at University of Notre Dame

A Day in the Life at University of Notre Dame The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Kate is a Los Angeles tutor and 2011 graduate of University of Notre Dame. She holds a Bachelors degree in English and Vocal Performance and tutors several subjects such as Essay Editing tutoring, GRE prep tutoring, and Reading tutoring. Check out what Kate had to say about her time at University of Notre Dame: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Kate: The University of Notre Dame has a very beautiful and idyllic college campus, with a great combination of old, ivy-covered Gothic buildings, and newer structures with fantastic amenities. There are very few roads that run right through the campus, so it is pedestrian- and bike-friendly. Campus is moderate in size. A bike is the most anyone would need to get from class to class, and that is only if the buildings are at opposite ends of the campus. Most students walk, although students who live off-campus may drive or bike. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Kate:For a highly-respected research university, the faculty have been incredibly accessible in my experience. In my Vocal Performance and English majors, I got to know the professors very well, and they were instrumental to my success. My friends who studied in the Colleges of Science, Engineering, and Business often had larger lecture classes, but professors and teaching assistants still went out of their way to answer questions and assist students. First year advisers can be helpful, but take the things that some of them say with a grain of salt. Reach out to your professors with questions on career advice and choosing a major since they work in the field, they can give you the best answers. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Kate:Dorm life is a huge factor at the University of Notre Dame, as well as a rather controversial topic. Some people love the current, traditional system, and others think it causes a lot of campus issues. Since the University of Notre Dame does not have any Greek life, dorms fill the void and become a source of identity for their students. This can be great if you click with the fellow freshmen who are assigned to your dorm, but if you do not, it can make your social life a little more difficult, since a lot of socialization is dorm-centric. All the dorms are single-sex, and some students feel that this leads to awkward gender relations. Campus can be a bit of a bubble, so socializing as underclassmen is often confined to dorm rooms and campus social spaces. If you are the type of person who thrives in an urban environment and who wants to constantly go places, this can be difficult, but you can make it happen. It also becomes a lot easier when you turn 21! The University of Notre Dame does have a huge variety of great student activities, so it is easy to get involved with just about anything you are interested in. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Kate:All the majors seem very well supported, but I do think the College of Arts and Letters, in which I studied English and Vocal Performance, needs to do a better job of focusing these two majors. Too often, I ended up signing up for English electives rather aimlessly, and I did not have a lot of opportunities to figure out what would be best given my career goals. I have heard this sentiment echoed from other College of Arts and Letters majors as well. All the colleges produce very successful people, but the other four develop much more of a career focus in their students. I do not see why the College of Arts and Letters cannot strive to do the same (though they do make you into an excellent thinker, reader, and writer). VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Kate:There is no Greek life on campus, but dorm activities fill that socialization role, and people have a lot of dorm pride. It is very easy to meet people, but surprisingly difficult to make friends outside of your dorm group, at least during your first few months. I would recommend making friends in your classes and activities as early as possible. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Kate:The Career Center is an incredibly valuable resource I just wish professors and advisers began encouraging students to take advantage of it before their senior year. The University of Notre Dames College of Business is always very highly ranked, so many companies recruit on campus. These include the Big Four of finance, Target, and others. Additionally, a huge amount of graduates do a year or two of service after graduation in Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Alliance for Catholic Education, and many others. We even have an entirely separate Service Fair after the Career Fair. Notre Dames Catholic identity plays a big part in this service ethic, and since I did two years of AmeriCorps after graduating, this path comes highly recommended. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Kate:The University of Notre Dame has so many fantastic study areas for people who prefer different noise levels, amounts of foot traffic, snack options, etc. Rest assured that there are tons of perfect places to study, no matter how you work. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Kate:I grew up in South Bend (where the university is located), and it is experiencing a great renaissance, with a lot of student-friendly restaurants, bars, cafes, and live music venues opening up downtown! There is a theater that gets traveling Broadway national tours, an art museum, a minor league baseball team, some great boutiques and stores, a few new breweries, and a lot more. Downtown is not really accessible from campus without a bike, car, or using public transportation, but the areas between campus and downtown have been improving recently. Students have a stereotype of staying on campus, but that has been gradually changing. I would encourage anyone who goes to the University of Notre Dame to break out of the campus bubble and patronize local businesses as much as possible! Students ride free on South Bends public bus system with a valid ID. For older students, South Bend has some pretty good college nightlife, with a good variety of dive bars, nice bars, and a club or tw o. There is also a nearby town called Mishawaka that has a mall and all the typical retail stores and chain restaurants that you would expect. Finally, there is a new area right by campus called Eddy Street Commons that has a good mix of stores, apartments, and restaurants and it is easily walkable. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Kate:The undergraduate student body numbers about 8,000. I had no issues with class size (although I was spoiled in the College of Arts and Letters). VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Kate:I enjoyed my townie status, having grown up in South Bend. My childhood neighbor down the street ended up being my favorite English professor and my honors thesis adviser. I also had the chance to sing a full opera role (the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro) as a senior, which is very unusual for an undergraduate Vocal Performance major. The University of Notre Dames small but talented music department gave me a lot of memorable performance opportunities. Check out Kates tutoring profile.

2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference - Heart Math Tutoring

2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference - Heart Math Tutoring 2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference 2016 NC Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference December 22, 2016 By Padgett Sullivan and Cydney Kramer In November, Cydney and I attended the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference (NCCTM), in Greensboro NC. We were joined by hundreds of other North Carolina math teachers, coaches, and facilitators. It was exciting to be in a place with so many other education professionals who value math education as much as the Heart team! We had many of our mathematical beliefs confirmed, but also learned important new things about how to best support our students! We’ve summarized some of our findings below. The Role of Assessment in Math “Test less, assess more.” While that may seem contradictory, tests are generally summative and let us know what a student has mastered. An assessment lets us know where students are in the process toward mastery and allows us adjust our instruction accordingly. Blurring the line between instruction and assessment allows us to better tailor our instruction. The implication for Heart is that mini-assessments need to not only be a test at the end of a notebook, but an avenue for the coordinator and tutor to learn (at any point along the way toward mastery) what a student is able to do and what he/she still needs to work on. A “failed” mini-assessment is not a failure at all it gives us important information about a student’s mathematical understanding. For example, you may learn that a student can tell you easily “how many less” when the two quantities are only one or two different but has trouble keeping track when the difference is larger. AnOperational view of the Equal Sign vs. a Relational view “Whatever value you have on the left, you must have on the right.” After listening to the researcher Zachary Champagne talk about students’ understanding of the equal sign and watching videos of students explaining it, Cydney and I were stunned by how many students believe the equal sign means “answer.” When given true false equations, most students didn’t believe that 4=4 was true, or that 2+3=3+2 was true, as they had only ever seen equations with an addition or subtraction problem on the left, and the answer on the right. If students are never exposed to anything else, it is understandable that they would find those equations odd or even untrue. It is important for coordinators and tutors to help students understand that the equal sign indicates a balance and means “the same as” rather than “put answer here.” In addition to some minor curriculum updates which will allow students to see equations in a variety of ways, coordinators can and should “push in” to correct students’ operational view of the symbol to prepare them for algebra and other higher level math. See Hearts two-minute tutoring tip here! Mindsets in Math As we all know, students’ mindset about math greatly affects their performance in math. It isforthisreason that one of Heart’s core values is “growth mindset.” It is important for students to see mistakes as learning experiences and as a natural, healthy consequence of trying. It is important for coordinators and tutors to continue to instill in their students a growth mindset (rather than fixed mindset, where intelligence is predetermined at birth), so that they persevere through challenges in math and in life. Coordinators can ensure that tutors are asking students the metacognition and reflection questions as they are leaving the tutoring room. “What was hard about today? What was easy? What do I need more practice on?” This gets students into the habit of reflecting on their effort and normalizes the idea that some things are easy andsome things are hard.It is only by struggling through the hard things that our brains grow and become stronger!

GMAT Review Series Sentence Correction - Meaning

GMAT Review Series Sentence Correction - Meaning GMAT MBA Admissions Blog In this portion of our GMAT Review Series, we’ll take a look at a Sentence Correction: Meaning question. One of the biggest concepts regarding sentence correction that we must remember isthe meaning of the sentence is always going to be more important than grammar. Key pointers from this video: Begin by setting up your scratch pad to help you ID the Error CategoryWrite the question number with a line beside it to write any errors you identify in the sentence or the answer choices. You are looking for a category, not a single specific error. In this example, we ID pronouns as the error. Intended Meaning Arbitrary GrammarWe must always remember that the meaning of the sentence is going to be more important than grammar. Identify the subject and make sure that the answer choices agree with it. Taking a look at the answer choices to ID any similaritiesIn this case â€" “it” appears throughout a majority of the answer choices… as we evaluate it in each answer choice we can deduce that the error being tested here is a pronoun. Read literally to identify absurd choicesPlug each answer choice into the sentence to determine if it still conveys the samemeaning or if it, in fact, makes no sense.

Got Language Learning Questions 6 Subjects Learners Ponder

Got Language Learning Questions 6 Subjects Learners Ponder Got Language Learning Questions? 6 Subjects Learners Ponder Is there other intelligent life in the universe?Who really killed Kennedy?Why arent Skittles officially classified as a fruit in the food pyramid?These questions have long plagued the human race.Today, well answer literally none of them.However, we will answer questions that are more pertinent to language learners.When you decide you want to learn another language, you still have a lot to figure out.Beyond whats the meaning of? and how do you say? language learning comes along with many other questions.Below are the answers to some of the most common questions language learners have. How Getting Your Language Questions Answered Can Help Your LearningFirst, knowing the answers to these questions will help you decrease your apprehension. Learning a language can be anxiety inducing, and its made all the more daunting by uncertainty. Reducing your uncertainty can reduce your apprehension, thereby making language learning less stressful.Plus, knowing the answers to these questions will help you make the most out of your learning experience. With all that apprehension out of the way, you can focus on the good stuff: grammar, vocabulary and fun. Plus, many of these questions will help you determine what approaches are best for you, which always makes learning more enjoyable.Finally, the answers to these questions could help you to improve your efficiency when learning a language. After all, if you know ahead of time about the best techniques, how to stay motivated and related subjects, you can save some time figuring that stuff out through trial and error, and thereby possibly shave some time off your path to fluency.Got Language Learning Questions? 6 Subjects Learners PonderQuestion: Whats the best way to learn a language?Answer: Undetermined, but here are some ideas!If you know one solid answer for this question, youre ahead of most scholars. The best way to learn a language is still the topic of a lot of research since everyone wants to learn as quickly and effic iently as possible.So while theres no strict answer for this, there are a few things that seem to be helpful when learning a language.First of all, research suggests that learning a language young (between infancy and puberty) is highly valuable. So if youre reading this between your favorite Saturday morning cartoons, you might want to start learning a language today.All hope is not lost for older learners, though. One highly regarded learning technique is immersion. In fact, one study found that students in a full immersion program actually improved more than students who studied abroad. And immersion programs arent just for the young folk!  Concordia Language Villages, for example, offers immersion programs for adult learners.However, taking time out for in-person immersion isnt feasible for everyone. Luckily, there are ways to replicate the immersion experience at home.FluentU  is a great way to replicate immersion without too much money or time commitment. FluentU offers authen tic, real-world videos, like music videos, movie trailers, news and more. Each video is captioned in the language, allowing you to read along as you listen for a more immersive experience.However, you can also break from full immersion and refer to the captions annotations. These annotations provide word definitions, example sentences and associated images.  Quiz mode combines videos, images and example sentences and transforms them into flashcards and exercises.FluentU is appropriate for any level of learner and grows with you, as our algorithm tracks your learning to present you with level-appropriate questions.Question: How can I stay motivated to learn a language?Answer: It depends on you, but here are some things to consider.Researchers widely believe that motivation to learn a language is a key factor in successfully learning it. High motivation is even thought to make up for any lack of natural aptitude. However, motivation is personal and subjective, so how you stay motivate d is up to you.Some learners are motivated by friends, family, grades, travel or work.However, one of the most motivating aspects might be exposure to and interest in target language cultures.  One study suggests  that embracing another culture is a key to success. So go ahead and indulge in your favorite international dishes. Enjoy your favorite foreign TV and movies. You have a valid excuse now!Not sure where to start? Check out world language resource Ethnologue to see where your target language is spoken.Then, check out a world culture resource like the World Culture Encyclopedia or ABC World Culture to learn more about the specific culture or cultures in that country.Question: How can I learn to communicate with native speakers?Answer: Dont worry and interact more often.Interacting with native speakers can be hard for students at first. After all, when you know youre not fully proficient in a language, you might avoid using it with native speakers for fear of embarrassment. How ever, its important for you to practice your skills in order to improve them, so ironically, it becomes a catch-22 of being too scared to interact because you arent great at the language and having limited language skills because you dont interact using your target language.To overcome this, its important to remember that most native speakers will recognize that others may not be 100% fluent. In many cases, native speakers are sympathetic to this situation and appreciate any attempt to speak their language, even if its somewhat fumbling. Once you start using your target language more often, youll see your language skills increase and your fear of interacting with native speakers will subside.You can also use a fun, friendly language exchange app like Bilingua  to get more practice. When you do a language exchange, a speaker of your target language (usually a native speaker) will help you practice that language. In exchange, youll help them practice your language. This is a great way to squelch fear. Since your partner is also speaking a language they arent 100% comfortable with, each of you can be a little uncomfortable together until your extra practice makes you both confident.Question: Will learning another language change who I am?Answer: Probably, but for the better.When you learn something valuable, its always likely to change you in some way. Learning a language does this even more than other information, however, since culture is a large component of language.Luckily, learning a language will change you for the better. Language is infinitely enriching and can open up doors you didnt even know existed. For instance, you might find yourself traveling to distant lands or even pursuing an unexpected career field.Question: How long does it take to learn a language?Answer: That depends on a lot, but there are estimates.Sadly, there is no cut-and-dried answer for how long it takes to learn a language. Time spent learning a language can depend on multiple fact ors, including the time you commit, the methods you use, your natural ability and your motivation.That being said, as noted earlier, researchers believe that high motivation can help learners overcome setbacks, so if you have the will to learn a language, theres a strong chance you can learn that language faster than you would otherwise.For a general idea of how long learning a language might take for native English speakers, Effective Language Learning lists the Foreign Service Institutes rankings for how long it takes to learn different languages. For instance, general professional proficiency in popular languages like Spanish, French and Italian is estimated to take 575-600 hours. If you study for 25 hours a week, this will take 23-24 weeks. If you study a more manageable five hours a week, based on these numbers, it should take between 115 weeks and 120 weeks (a little over two years). More difficult languages for English speakers like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are es timated to take 2200 hours, so if you study for five hours a week, it may take around 440 weeks (almost eight and a half years) to become proficient.Question: Whats the easiest language to learn?Answer: That varies based on you and your background.Lets set the record straight: no language is ridiculously easy to learn, and no language is impossible to learn. Learning a language requires some effort, and your own background with languages can change everything when it comes to whats easy and difficult.That being said, for native English speakers, some languages are easier to learn than others.In fact, Effective Language Learnings  list of the Foreign Service Institutes rankings of how long it takes to learn different languages can be used to infer level of difficulty since in general, languages that take less time to learn can be considered easier.In general, no surprise, its easier for English speakers to learn languages that are more similar to English in aspects like writing, pron unciation, grammar and other factors, and this often includes Romance languages. Therefore, languages like Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese are usually relatively easy for English speakers to learn.Languages less like English (such as Chinese, which makes extensive use of tone) are usually harder for English speakers to learn. However, much of what makes harder languages seem harder may be overcome by motivation and mindset, so dont be discouraged from learning any language!Now the only question left to answer is How will I work on my language skills today?

How To Explain Your Med School Experiences To Friends And Family

How To Explain Your Med School Experiences To Friends And Family pexels.com You will learn the ins and outs, and will want to apply them in your everyday life, as we all do when we learn intriguing things about our field of study that can and will affect our lives. But how should you tell your friends and families about your experiences and new findings? If they themselves aren’t in the medical field, they are bound to find what you have to say fascinating, but it does depend on how you phrase it. Here are some examples of how you can tell them about your experiences at med school and things to avoid. Enlighten them: You are going to be learning about a lot of everyday things that people can do to stay healthy, so if your family asks you, feel free to share. You can give them the inside scoop, some do’s and don’ts that you’ve learned, and small things that they can change in their lives to avoid things like getting the next common cold that is going around. While this is very helpful and you obviously will know what you are talking about, be mindful that you aren’t pushing things onto your family members or friends, or talking about things in medical terms that will make them feel uneducated. You don’t have to dumb down your diction, but if you are always using doctor-based jargon, chances are it’s going to get old listening to you rather quickly. Another thing is to be careful about always bringing health things up. If your friends or family ask you for health tips or advice, or you really see an opportunity where what you learned could benefit a loved one, that’s fine, but it’s a whole other ballgame if you keep butting in every five seconds. During my undergrad, I had a lot of friends who were bio majors geared towards the medial field, and let’s just say that listening to them gave me a germ phobia. One of my roommates even scared me to the point that I thought I had damaged my eyes from not changing my contact case every month. To you, learning about things like bacteria and what it does to people is interesting, while to people who aren’t into medial stuff, it’s just gross, and sometimes it’s better for us not to know all of the details if you know what I mean. Traumatic events: During med school, you are going to be learning about and witnessing some pretty heavy stuff, and while you might be able to build up some immunity towards it over time (which it would seem a necessary step to continue in the line of work), your friends and family might have a hard time hearing about it at first. This isn’t to say that you can’t share the not-so-pretty experiences with them, just keep in mind that at first you should tread with care. They are your support group, and talking things out with them will help you mentally, but also be mindful of how it is affecting them as well. Stress of school: It’s important to share with your friends and family the stress and the lack of sleep that your classes cause you, so they understand why you don’t text back right away or why they sometimes find you passed out on the couch in your scrubs, but don’t talk down to them when you do it. What I mean by that is, don’t phrase it in a way like, “you’ll never understand this level of stress because you’re not in medical school.” They might not be on the same path as you, but you don’t want to make them feel like their problems don’t matter in comparison to yours. Yes, medical school is very taxing and demanding, and therefore you have the right to talk about it to help relieve some of that stress, but just be mindful of how you say it. Burning off steam: Everyone has heard the crazy rumors of what med students do when they aren’t ferociously studying, but don’t let your family and friends make assumptions on how you burn off steam. While you don’t have to share everything with them, since it’s your business about what works best for you, you could share some stories with them of how you have some bursts of fun so they know that you aren’t going completely mad with the mass amounts of studying that you have to do every night, and they won’t be making wild assumptions either. I’m sure your friends will be wondering which of the other med students  you’ve hooked up with, but this one might be fun to keep them guessing on. Your experience is going to be yours alone, so sharing with friends and family can be a great way to bond and to give them an insight into something they may not know that much about just be mindful as you do it.

The Difficulties Of Getting A PhD In Chemistry

The Difficulties Of Getting A PhD In ChemistryWhen it comes to getting a PhD in chemistry from the available resources for researching are vast. However, the difficulty lies in choosing a reputable institution. While there are many reputable institutions to choose from, the question you should ask yourself is what will be most beneficial to you?If you are just interested in completing your PhD in chemistry, you may want to consider whether or not there are quality research facilities within the area you wish to specialize in. Once you have decided on which type of university you wish to attend you will need to find out the details of the specific field you wish to focus on. For example, if you are only interested in the study of the element titanium you may want to focus your studies on the sciences surrounding the element, such as nuclear physics. Once you have done this you can then get on with the application and interview process.If you decide to pursue an alternative approach to PhDs in chemistry, such as working in industry or government, you need to know how the universities and colleges you have selected for your classes can help you build a career. One of the best ways to do this is to find out about each university's field of expertise.Once you have decided on the university that is best suited to your needs, you need to contact each department and find out the contact information for their research facilities. For example, if you are interested in conducting research on the element chromium, you will need to learn as much as you can about the facilities within the department.By going to as many schools as possible you will be able to find out whether the college is able to provide you with opportunities to gain employment with research institutions in the health care fields. The chances are that if you meet with a recruiter for one of these industries they will be able to point you to the colleges that are in a position to provide you with the best j ob opportunities. Since some industries will prefer to hire students who have completed their studies in the past, and some companies only want to hire those graduates that have worked in the industry prior to their Ph.D. the main determining factor in your career options will be where you ended up after you complete your studies.Whether you are studying for a Bachelor's or a Master's degree in chemistry, there are many things that you will need to do in order to continue your education. Having a degree or diploma from a top ranked school will be beneficial to you in the long run because it shows that you have taken the time to do your research.While there are many types of doctoral programs available there are many similarities in the many different types of PhD programs. By finding out as much as you can about the options available to you you will be able to find the program that is right for you. Having the knowledge that you have obtained from a reputable university will benefit you on more than one level, so it is important that you get all the facts about the universities you are considering attending.
