There’s a simple check-list by <a href="https://www.essaypromo.codes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Essaypromo.codes</a> that can help you deal with writing assignments: no worries, no hassle.</p> <p>Writing can be a lot of fun, but it can also be stressful when deadlines are involved and your academic success is on the line. Finding ways to de-stress as you write can make your essay or research paper easier to write and allows your words to flow more naturally and easily.</p> <h2>Keep Yourself Organized</h2> <p>For every paper that you need to write each semester, create a to-do list. Note the steps that you need to take during the process, when it’s due, and when each action item on the list should be ideally completed. Refer back to the list regularly, on Mondays, for instance, to make sure you’re on schedule for completion by the assigned date. This ensures that you don’t end up trying to crunch together 3,000 words in a last-minute ditch to get your paper put together.</p> <h2>Choose a Topic Wisely</h2> <p>Writing about something you have little interest in can be stressful, so do your best to select a topic that you actually like; if it can be fascinating, even better. Writing on something that you have a passion for or that allows you to feel entertained as you research the topic can help you connect more readily with your material and write from a more natural, less stressful angle.</p> <h2>Get the Basics Done</h2> <p>Get the hardest part of your essay/research paper writing out of the way first: <strong>research</strong>. Determine which sources your professor will accept for the piece, and search for credible materials to use. Go to your student library or use its database to find journal articles, studies, and such to reinforce your paper, and make a running list of resources as you go. Compile your works cited page as you write to avoid the complicated process of digging through your source material later.</p> <h2>Don’t Binge Write</h2> <p>As much as your schedule permits, write at the best time for you based on your own preferences. If you feel less stressed writing at night, then do so. If you do your best thinking and information processing during the morning hours, try to write during this time. Avoid writing for long periods of time, since this can cause you to get stressed out and feel less than creative.</p> <h2>Beat the Procrastination Monster</h2> <p> </p> <p>Procrastination is a productivity killer. Avoiding writing your paper until the last minute is never a good strategy, although it’s oftentimes employed by students who always seem to have loaded plates with way too much to do to begin with. However, allowing procrastination to become a “thing†as a student can lead to missed deadlines and lowered grades. Perhaps more ominously, it can also spill over into your professional life, leading to serious problems down the road.</p> <p>Either you prefer to postpone writing essays until almost-due-date or fiddle with your phone, when you should actually be working, it’s never too late to tune into a productive mode. Set a timer for 60 minutes, and vow to write the entire time. No checking in on Facebook or watching a video or two on Youtube. Just write.</p> <h2>Write Your Thesis Last</h2> <p>While your professor may require you to submit a thesis statement before you even begin writing your essay, if this is not a requirement, keep it for dessert. Deciding on it from the get-go can complicate the writing process. If you wait until you’re finished with your paper, it will make it easier to write your thesis and explain it and the arguments supporting it in the most understandable fashion.</p> <p>You may want to add some chamomile tea, favorite pumpkin-flavored cupcakes or productivity-boosting tools, if you like. However, now you have go-to guide to peaceful and efficient essay writing. Good luck!</p> </content> </entry> <entry> <title>Learning PHP for Beginners</title> <link rel="alternate" href="http://www.classroom20.com/xn/detail/649749:Topic:1342777"/> <id>tag:www.classroom20.com,2021-09-11:649749:Topic:1342777</id> <updated>2021-09-11T06:26:13.744Z</updated> <author> <name>Hilary Greenebaum</name> <uri>https://www.classroom20.com/profile/HilaryGreenebaum</uri> </author> <summary type="html"> <p><strong><span>PHP is a great beginning programming language for those interested in learning computer programming or enhancing their HTML web pages.</span><span><br></br></span></strong></p> <p><strong>PHP for Beginners</strong></p> <p>Many people are interested in computer programming but feel threatened when they are faced with the idea of actually learning a language or writing a program.

However, PHP is a great language for beginners for a variety of reasons. First, PHP addresses many general programming issues that are used in other, more complex, languages. Second, PHP allows the beginning programmer to understand the logic and syntax of programming languages. Finally, PHP tutorials are available, easy to follow, and fun to learn.</p> <p><strong>PHP Tutorials</strong></p> <p>There are several tutorial books available to walk the beginning programmer through the programming process. For example, PHP for Dummies is an excellent explanation and introduction to the language, and the book can easily be found online or in most bookstores. Learning PHP does not require any money, though - there are many free, extensive tutorials on the internet. One website, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130103033311/http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp">w3schools.com</a>, offers step-by-step tutorials with examples of code that instruct on important functions of PHP and the ways that PHP can interact with web pages and databases to become a powerful tool in design. Tizag.com is another excellent website with tutorials, coding examples, and displays of how the code will output to the user. PHP.net is a website that serves as the hub of the PHP development community, and provides quick references for more experienced programmers while still providing an excellent resources for beginning programmers.</p> <p><strong>Practical Applications of PHP with ProgrammingHomework.dev</strong></p> <p>"Learning PHP is a rewarding experience" - say's Jessica Nickel,<span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en" xml:lang="en">lead coder at <a href="https://www.programminghomework.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ProgramminghHomework.dev</a>.</span> PHP allows even beginning programmers to make creative, dynamic websites that give the user a better internet experience. Simple projects include setting up a message that changes on a daily basis at the top of a webpage. Other simple projects include setting up tables with information about products and their costs. The functions of PHP allow for a quick, reusable, and easily changeable code for the beginning programmer.</p> <p>PHP can also be used as an access point to database applications such as SQL or MySQL, which can be helpful for a variety of functions. More advanced projects might include the development of an interactive website with a database of products and ordering information. Other more advanced uses might include setting up a database for qualitative research.</p> <p>Learning PHP does not require a steep learning curve, but it does require patience to master the basic syntax of the language. However, once this syntax is learned, the programmer is only limited by her own creativity</p> </content> </entry> <entry> <title>Types of Resumes Formats to Consider Based on Audience</title> <link rel="alternate" href="http://www.classroom20.com/xn/detail/649749:Topic:1341945"/> <id>tag:www.classroom20.com,2021-08-13:649749:Topic:1341945</id> <updated>2021-08-13T10:35:24.763Z</updated> <author> <name>Hilary Greenebaum</name> <uri>https://www.classroom20.com/profile/HilaryGreenebaum</uri> </author> <summary type="html"> <p><span>Writing a resume for an employer can be a trying experience.

The first step is to choose a format that best suits a job seeker's audience and job. The article was prepared with the support of writers from the <a class="in-cell-link" href="https://www.caresumeservices.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CaResumeServices</a> company.<br/> <br/></span></p> <p>Whether it be a targeted, inventory, chronological, functional, or combination, each format of a resume has its own set of rules to follow and targeted audience to engage. With all these choices, how will job seekers ever make a decision about which style and format is best for the job they're going after?</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Resume Formats</h3> <p>The first format to consider is called a <i>targeted resume</i>. A targeted resume is used to focus the resume toward a specific career objective, performed in a specific industry, and for a specific company. The content of a targeted resume is written to highlight the skills, qualifications, and experience that match the requirements of the job target.</p> <p>Secondly, there is the <i>inventory resume</i>. If there is only a general objective and job seekers don't want to limit themselves to a specific job title, an inventory resume may be the best choice. Likewise, if job seekers want to be able to use the same resume to apply to a number of companies, they should write an inventory resume. This type of resume is designed to highlight prospective employee skills, qualifications, and achievements in a more general manner.</p> <p>Next is the <i>chronological resume</i>. The chronological resume is designed to highlight progressive career growth and advancement. It is easy to read and can be quickly scanned for employment history. For these reasons, it is the most accepted format among hiring authorities. In fact, many even prefer and/or expect it.</p> <p>Then there's the <i>functional resume</i>. The functional resume highlights key skills, accomplishments, and qualifications at the top of the resume, regardless of where they have occurred in one's career. The employment history of the job seeker is de-emphasized by placing it toward the bottom of the resume and by documenting a simple listing rather than details of each position. In this way, the functional resume firmly places the focus on <em>what</em> was done rather than <em>where</em> or <em>when</em> it was done.</p> <p>And finally, there is the <i>combination resume</i>. The combination format combines the benefits of both the chronological and the functional formats. By beginning with a summary (functional format) of the most impressive qualifications, skills, abilities, and accomplishments, it immediately places the emphasis where job seekers will want it. This is followed by an employment history section, written in the chronological format, that supports the statements made in the summary.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">The Best Resume Format</h3> <p>Each resume format has its own distinct quality and focus depending on the type of position being applied for and the type of information being included by the job seeker. Once job seekers choose a format, they must then organize that format into a tightly-written, sharply-focused resume that will win their prospective employer over.</p> <p>For this reason, deciding on the best format to use is every bit as crucial as the content of the resume itself, as both contribute to the resume's overall focus. Job seekers should in order to make a lasting impression on their prospective employers.</p> <p><span><strong>About Author:</strong> Marina is a career advisor and blogger from Today.com.

However, it can be easily mastered with the help of these strategies, many of which can also be applied to longer papers.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">Before Writing</h3> <p>It is important to plan ahead before beginning an essay. Take a few minutes to think about ideas, consider how the paper will be organized, and determine whether more research is required before starting to write. Some people find it helpful to create a traditional structured outline; others prefer brainstorming with mind maps or jot lists. Whatever strategy a writer prefers, taking the time to think and plan before writing helps him or her to craft a clearer, better-organized paper.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">The Introduction</h3> <p>The introduction, or first paragraph, of a five-paragraph essay should capture the reader's attention: one must draw the reader in and make him or her want to read the paper. Begin with a memorable quote, an illustrative anecdote, a question the essay will answer, or an interesting or unexpected fact; or create an individual and unique opening that will grab the reader's interest.</p> <p>Along with some relevant background information, the introduction should also include the thesis statement, a sentence explaining the main point of the paper. Usually the thesis is the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. It should clearly and concisely present the main argument, or what the writer wants to say in the paper. After reading the thesis statement, a reader should know what to expect from the rest of the essay.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">The Body</h3> <p>A five-paragraph essay contains three body paragraphs after the introduction. These paragraphs work together to provide evidence in support of the thesis statement. Each paragraph should have its own main idea that is clearly expressed in a topic sentence at the beginning of the paragraph. The rest of the paragraph expands upon and supports the main idea of the paragraph, which in turn expands upon and supports the main idea, or thesis, of the paper.</p> <div><div id="adsense_placeholder_2"><br clear="both"/><br clear="both"/></div> </div> <p>To support the thesis statement, writers use facts, details, quotations, and explanations drawn from research, in addition to their own analysis and perspective. This is the meat of the paper; the information that has been collected is presented to prove that the argument made by the thesis statement is correct.To avoid plagiarism, be sure to carefully cite all sources.</p> <p>Use transitions to smoothly connect one body paragraph to the next. Although each paragraph has its own main idea, they should all relate to one another in support of the thesis.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">The Conclusion</h3> <p>The conclusion of a five-paragraph essay should summarize the paper's argument and provide context as to why it is important. Begin by restating the thesis, in different words, and briefly addressing the three main points of support. Then broaden the view of the paper and consider the larger significance of what it is about. Why should anyone care? A good five-paragraph essay leaves the reader with an increased understanding of and interest in the topic.</p> <h3 class="dynamic">After Writing</h3> <p>Before turning in the paper, revise and edit it. It often helps to come back a day later to reread, or have another person look at the essay and make suggestions. Make sure each sentence is clearly written and supports the argument, and that the sentences and paragraphs tie together logically in support of the thesis. Finally, proofread the paper carefully to catch any spelling, punctuation, or grammatical mistakes.</p> </content> </entry> </feed>
