Peer Tutor Student
I encourage you to become a peer tutor student. Tutoring is helping a student help him/herself to the point that they have become independent You'll
learn so much about other students and it will help you mature. Not only will becoming a peer tutor help you grow as a student yourself but it is an
easy way to boost your GPA and will look pretty impressive on a resume. Many students havelearning disabilities that prevent them from learning at
higher paces as other students but with the right practice they can become as independent as others. In your peer tutoring class room that is assigned to
you will do more than just tutor the students. Some days the assigned teacher will send you out to print documents, make copies, and sometimes

What Are The Pros And Cons Of Gene Editing?
The ability to edit human embryos is relatively new to science. For this reason, the pros and cons of gene editing are being debated, and it's not yet
clear whether or not the potential good of modifying DNA outweighs the potential hazards. Assuming thorough testing, safe application, and
observations taken for generations, the potential good that could come from being able to edit human embryos would outweigh the potential hazards.
CRISPR/Cas9, a system of molecules used to change the DNA in adult human cells and animal embryos, is used to eradicate devastating genetic
diseases in humans before birth. CRISPR identifies the target DNA, which shows Cas9 the correct strands to slice ("CRISPR Treats Genetic
Disorder", 2016). This process has...show more content...
As long as all aspects and possible outcomes are weighed, experiments are well thought out and calculated, and scientists are educated in the
possibilities of gene editing technology, then what cons outweigh potential pros from a scientific standpoint? But then, how can ethics be determined
when everyone in the world has diverse values? These experiments depend on the scientists performing them and how they weigh the pros and cons
of gene editing. In summary, there is no right answer to how far scientists can go with editing embryos; they are only limited by their values and the
general beliefs and restrictions in their countries. Gene editing will continue to be debated, and if a point of agreement is reached, then it will be clear
whether or not the pros really outweigh– the cons of modifying DNA in human

I worked as a Tutor in a program called Gateway Advancement Placement to Success at Westwood Middle school. I Provided academic supports in
math, reading, and science to ensure students success. I Facilitated group discussion in order to improve students' public speaking and teamwork skills.
Lastly, I encouraged students to tap into their highest academic potential with daily class discussions.

Mesquite ISD Reflection
Throughout my high school career, I tutored students in my school district that were not able to pass the state mandated tests during the summer.
Each year that the peer tutoring program was implemented, Mesquite ISD saw a rise in test scores by at least twenty percent. I also have worked at
Express as a sales associate, located in Mesquite's Town East Mall. Most recently I am working as a leasing assistant at UPointe, an apartment
complex scheduled to open for the fall of 2017.

My Video Editing Experience
A long time I decided to live the zombie life as a video editor and during that time I had to experience a lot of workflow to get good at it. In the
beginning of learning it was difficult and there were so many different programs to edit with, but during the time I did not know about which were
professional or not. For example, when I first started I used a program called Window Movie Maker, and without doubt it was not very useful since
there were only limited tools that the program holds; Since I did not know any better at the time I easily continued to work with the program for a
couple months, which was the most difficult start of my experience. For example, there were obstacles such as slow render, 15 effects or less, and
very rigid transitions from clips to clips. When it came to actual editing, I was amateurish as well, but that's normal for anyone that's new to a hobby
that they want to learn by experience; The way I synched the lyrics or beats to my clips were off at first, as well as the quality, which was poor. In
fact, I did not even know how to discover a source to download the type of footage I worked with at the time. After 3 or 4 months of editing, I
finally made my first friend that does the same hobby as me, and he then helped me locate high quality clips. My friend was from Germany and of
course I was from the United States, so we both helped each other grow as editors as time passed, even as it was difficult we had fun

Peer Edit Worksheet
Peer Edit Worksheet Title: Watch out for the other person on the other side of the computer screen ( identity theft can happen) Author: Zaida
Introduction: The paper begins by talking about how people use the internet in different ways. The introduction aims at trying to explain that
becoming an identity theft victim can happen to anyone. However, it does not successfully get the point across. The thesis of the paper needs to be
clearer and not in the form of a question. How about: There are precautions an individual can take to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of
identity theft such as "В¦ ? Proposal: The author proposes anyone can become a victim of identity theft, but does not clearly identify the problem. The
author needs to be more specific and not be so informal in writing. Avoid using first person I, you, me, us. Writing in third person sounds more
professional and is more academically accepted. Argument: The author tries to persuade the reader using logical arguments and by referencing other
sources, however, because the writer tries to insert herself into the paper and make it more personal, she does not appear to be credible. Instead of
saying "I read this article on this website," the author should write something like: "According to The New York Times, "В¦." Counterargument: None
Development: Length of paper is long enough to present an effective argument, however, the writer needs to work on grammar, organization, and
formatting. Needs work on

Online Learning Log Analysis
I especially admire how it is suggested that in our virtual campus we do not need to get dressed, hire a babysitter, drive to class, find a parking
space, go to class to earn a degree (Bethel, 2014, p.4). However, we do have to put in time to read our material that is provided to us (READ
section), watch a video in our ATTEND section, complete our assignments and communicate with our fellow classmates. Just because we are not
being present in a classroom we still have to do the work to earn our grades. The best tip from our Read section, I think, is to pay attention to word
count requirements and also to treat the Discuss forum with seriousness because it is apart of our academic learning. I always copy and paste
assignment instructions into Google Doc to begin my thinking, research, writing and proofreading. Making time to read and do the assignments is
another great tip I am going to use. Planning out a specific time and place for me to adhere to my online learning schedule is how I will apply this
and make myself be aware of my time being used with the thought of working towards my goals.
Rick, What do you mean? You said, 'while you did not emphasize its importance'....what did you mean? Can you please explain...show more content...
Are you going to personally try to adhere to all of the tips that our Read section suggests? I think that my main concern is paying attention to citing
references used correctly, time management and deadlines, and paying very close attention to word counts. Yes, these things are common sense, to
a certain degree. I feel that academic writing is something nobody is blessed with because it is something we learn. I try to refer to the Purdue
/OWL website to help me sometimes. A newly suggested site called Paperrater.com is very easy to use to spell check and plagiarism check. Our
facilitator suggested Paperrater.com and I really like how easy it is to use! I plan on using it

College Essay On Film Editing
Editing is one of the most important parts of filmmaking. Film Editing is one of my favorite things to do. But let's get to the point. I have recently
graduated from a recognized film school and I just created a short film that goes viral. I am anxious for a TV/ film production company to see my
produced video. Or if that doesn't work you make ads to get your name out there for local job openings, or recruitments. Well no one's interested in an
award winning filmmaker! A production company with standards is not going to consider a student who just graduated from afilm school. A degree in
law, master's or engineering degree all are bait for finding a job easily. Sure I may know how to block a scene, move a dolly, edit, correct colors and mix

College Admissions Essay: I Want To Be A Writer
The top shelf of my closet contains a towering, rather intimidating pile of notebooks.
A few of them are completely blank, devoid of anything besides blue college–ruled lines. Most, however, are well–worn, with pages upon pages
covered in handwritten rainbows of ink and graphite. Even though their contents may not be worth the space, and they are completely filled, I cannot
bring myself to throw those notebooks away. They are a part of my history.
I've always been inclined towards language; my first memory involves sitting in my grandparents' living room at age three, reading Dr. Seuss's Green
Eggs and Ham out loud. About ten years later, my ninth grade English teacher read my first "high school essay" and could almost immediately tell that I
enjoyed writing.
Although his assessment was correct, I often felt separated from my friends who self–identify as writers – I never had the same inherent creativity in
my narratives, the same ability to build escapist fictional...show more content...
As a child, I had often responded to the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" with an enthusiastic "I want to be an author!"
Therefore, I had quite a bit of nostalgia attached to that sentiment, and panicked when I began to be asked about college majors. I saw myself as too
scientific for the arts, but too artistic for the sciences.
During a period of frantic research in the autumn of my junior year, I found an article about linguistics, which seemed like an extremely welcome
balance between the two disciplines – it is, at its most basic, the study and interpretation of language and grammar. It would allow me to analyze
intricacies instead of create them, which I felt much more equipped to do. Even the grammatical aspect of the field sounded incredibly appealing – as a
Latin student, I am surprisingly comfortable with grammar.
I suddenly felt like I had a path to follow in my post–high school education – and a versatile one at

Essay On Tutoring Experience
Since beginning my peer tutoring placement I have performed new and unique tasks on a daily basis. At the start of the semester I primarily circulated
the classroom explaining concepts to students and answering their questions. As the semester progressed my activities have been refined to be more
efficient and effective at helping individual students. With the assistance of Ms. Randle I have been able to pinpoint individual students that would
benefit the most from my assistance. These students all have unique individual needs that I try to fine–tune my assistance to accommodate. I constantly
strive to better understand each individual's learning skills.
One example of a way I accommodate a certain student is by reading and writing for him. Early in the semester, it was noticed that this student
struggled to get work done. This was not due to a lack of understanding but instead due to issues writing down his ideas and reading the material. Ms.
Randle recommended that I focus my attention primarily on him as he needed the most one–on–one help of all the students in the class. Additionally, it
was noted that without my assistance he was in jeopardy of failing the class.
One strength of mine that I use to my advantage when performing this task is my strong reading skills. This...show more content...
Randle about the day's activities and discussing what I can do to be the most effective that day. After this I circulate the classroom seeing if students
had any issues with the homework or the worksheets they are working on. If the primary focus of that day is a working period then I will continue to
circulate and assist students with any issues. Otherwise, if the focus is a lesson day I will sit quietly while infrequently contributing to the class
discussion. Additionally, I will take notes so I can better understand the material to teach and so that if students miss the class they can have a copy of
what we learned that

The Pros And Cons Of Speedy Tutors
Fellow students of Columbia State Community College; are you struggling in a subject, but it is hard to ask the teacher for help? Well fear no longer:
Speedy
Tutors offers an anonymous peer to peer tutoring system. Simply come to the designated building, fill out the information card, and enter it into the
terminal provided. From there the data will be used to find a "match" for the student. Which matches the student with someone who can not only help
them in their subject, but the student can also help the other party in a subject they are struggling in. Not only does Speedy Tutors offer a way to
communicate with people, but it paves the way for many other options as well. People could continue seeing each–other after their first tutoring session

Setting the stage, is the useful thing about the system. The actual upsides of having a fellow peer tutor you in a subject. In an anonymous survey
conducted on SurveyMonkey.com, seven out of fourteen people said they would prefer to be tutored by a peer over a professor. With this service the
aim is to do just that, to bring tutoring to a peer to peer experience instead of a normal peer to professor experience. With this the goal is to make it
easier for students to learn in a friendlier environment instead of a more judgmental or stricter environment that sometimes comes from tutoring from a
professor.
Secondly, is the possibility of creating a new friendship from the program.
With this program you receive the anonymous student's phone number which allows you to keep in touch with them past the first tutoring session,
however this is only done with the students consent. If the student would like to remain anonymous and keep their phone number private, we will
contact them with a location and time to meet their tutor. We encourage meeting other students

Becoming A High-Performing Student
When it comes to being a high–performing student, it is my responsibility to lend a hand to others facing challenges of their own. One of the ways I
have acted on this responsibility is by tutoring others, with one experience standing out. Towards the end of junior year, while excelling in Precalculus
/Trigonometry Honors, it came to my attention that my neighbor and close friend Dave was in quite the predicament. Dave had recently failed his two
previous tests in non–honors Trigonometry, and failing his final exam would end his Lake Central football career. Desperate not to lose his
opportunity to play football, Dave approached me for help. We started by putting together a two–day study plan, and although this meant I would have
less time to prepare...show more content...
At the outset, Dave's situation was pretty dire: The problems he worked through on his own study guide were almost all wrong, and more importantly,
he did not understand the material that he would be confronting on his final exam. Remaining patient, we began anew, approaching each problem by
understanding and correcting Dave's mathematical approach. We did not move on to the next problem until Dave and I were certain he understood
the current problem and how that problem illustrated the point of the relevant lesson. Together we completed half of the study guide. I returned home
for my weekly piano lessons, and then resumed trigonometry with Dave later that night. Having regrouped the next day, Dave showed quick
improvement, being able to confidently explain the underlying concepts. Five hours of intensive effort had paid off, and when I left Dave's house that
evening, we both felt confident. Three weeks later, Dave approached me with a grin and a football. "Benji," he exclaimed, "I passed!" We embraced
and went outside – Dave wanted to teach me some

Service Learning Reflection
The course objective for the class Service Learning in English is to increase one's knowledge about language arts tutoring through readings, discussion,
and experience working with teachers and a specific student struggling with academics as well as his/her work ethic. I was assigned to tutor Aaron
Ring, a freshman at Christel House Academy South, a nationally acclaimed award winning school. The school has a healthy and safe welcoming
environment that contains a diverse assortment of students and a 20:1 student–teacher ratio to allow teachers and students to build a close relationship.
The different rooms of the school were neat and well maintained. The classrooms were very clean with different lightings, colorful decorations, couches

When working with Aaron, I can understand how sometimes Mike felt more like a social worker than a teacher. Sometimes when I tutored Aaron,
I found our conversations lean more towards a personal topic. He works really hard and is engaged in his studies, however he sometimes asks me
questions that are personal. I don't mind when he does so, but sometimes I feel more like a mentor or social worker than a tutor. I enjoy helping
him outside of school because he is only a freshman and it is nice to have a different point of view sometimes. Rose showed me how it is okay to
sometimes set aside school and talk about personal topics and to help them for the future. Also, while tutoring at Christel House Academy, I was able
to relate how students sometimes are categorized rather than fostered to learn more. Struggling students, like Aaron, aren't getting the available
assistance they need to perform well in school. Because of the categorization, Aaron's grade are low, he is placed with others that are struggling, and is
defined as academically challenged by the institution. However, by tutoring and working with him to find different ways to teach him will benefit how
he learns in school. Overall, I had an amazing tutoring experience with Aaron and I learned a lot about English literacy education, as well as being more
than just a tutor for an adolescent. Service Learning in English increased my knowledge about language arts tutoring through readings, discussion, and
experience working with Aaron on academics, as well as his work ethic, and personal goals as a young

My Peer Tutoring Class
After experiencing being a peer tutor my senior year, I think you should become one too. My peer tutoring class was Algebra 2. A class I did fairly
well in. I've learned lot of new things during this experience. I've learned that everybody learns differently, multiple people struggle with the same
thing whether it be procrastination, time management, or even listening. I've also learned how to apply these things to my studies as well. I learned
from their mistakes. I struggled with procrastination as well as listening in my own studies. So while I was helping them, I was also helping myself. I
also learned how to help students who learned in two completely different ways. One was a visual learner while the other was one

How My Writing Has Changed Essay
My writing styles have changed drastically over the past four years of high school. This memo will explain how my writing has changed and how my
knowledge of writing has improved.
Aspects of My Writing during High School
During my English courses throughout high school, I learned many things from writing simple journals, research papers, and a single term paper.
During high school, I was laid back and procrastinated for much of my work. During the latter part of high school when I wrote my term paper my
senior year, I found out that working a little every night writing a few paragraphs helped me out greatly. I was not just throwing something together just
to get the grade and the paper finished. I spent time on the paper and...show more content...
I do this so the information is true, and also in order from which events have occurred. When I wrote my term paper my senior year I was well
organized. I was required to write about an event in history. I chose India Uprising of 1877 as the topic of my paper. This topic was not interesting at
all, but I chose to write about it. When I finished writing my thesis and outline, I wrote note cards about the different topics, which allowed me to
gather all my information and organize it in which different events occurred. When I was finished with the paper, it sounded and read consistently and
it all flowed together.
How These Experiences Prepared Me for College Writing
I have written many different types of papers for all of my classes throughout high school. For my science classes, I have written several labs in the
form of essays. Writing the essays was different for me because I did not really know that science had much to do with writing. It took me a while to
gather all the information I needed to finish my lab assignments. Writing lab reports will definitely help me in my science courses in the next four years.
The journals I have written came from my four years of high school English. Everyday I came to class there would be a topic on the board. I took five
minutes each day to write about the given topic. It was brainstorming and giving our input on whatever the topic was. I think

Genome Editing Essay
Introduction
Genome editing is a huge leap forward in science and medicine. Because of recent advances in technology, the study of genes and induced 'point'
mutations have led to the discovery and advancement of methods previously used in order to mutate genes. The development of Clusters of Regularly
Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR associated system 9 protein (Cas9) technology is a hugely significant leap forward as
this is a tool that could potentially be used for the research into and hopefully the treatment of a range of medical conditions that are genetically
related. Cystic fibrosis (Schwank, G. et al, 2013), haemophilia and sickle cell disease are an example of some of the conditions that have the...show

Once the complex was bound to the DNA, a cut would be made to eliminate and destroy the invaders. 83% of archaeal genomes and 45% of bacterial
genomes (Shabbir, M. et al, 2016) were shown to be able to successfully utilize the CRISPR Cas9 system. These are very promising statistics, so it is
no wonder that there has been such an advancement in the past few years to bring this technology to eukaryotic cells, mammalian cells and eventually
human cells.
With the rate and volume that new experiments and experimental procedures are being tried and tested, it can be expected that a Nobel Prize will soon
be won for the discovery and advancement of this potential life–saving 'tool'. The category of Nobel Prize and who it potentially should be awarded to
are discussed later in this essay.
The Role of CRISPR/Cas9 as a Genome Editing Tool
There are three types of CRISPR systems. The Type II CRISPR system (where the interface is mediated by a single large protein in conjunction with
crRNA) is the simplest of the three and it is this one that has been the basis for genome editing.
The Cas9 protein is an enzyme that effectively acts as a pair of molecular 'scissors', cutting

Peer Tutor Personal Statement
It all started after I received the academic support I needed the most back in Grade 9 when I failed to keep up in science. Inspired by the
outstanding service granted from upper years through Markville's Peer Tutoring Club, I vowed to assure those who struggle in similar circumstances
would also have the opportunity to receiveaccept a helpinglending hand. As a result, this sparked my aspiration to become a peer tutor in 2015.
Throughout the years, I found myself tutoring myhelping a lot of peers just like how I assist in raising my five younger siblings. For instance, I would
take matters into my own hands and offer to thoroughly decipher the concept I understood it for when one did not quite grasp it in class. In addition, I

My duties as Group Leader include: setting up the tutoring station at the beginning of every Wednesday lunch, recording the attendance of my tutors
and tutees, informing members about upcoming meetings and changes. More importantly, ensuring that arrangements between tutors and tutees are
appropriate by resonating their skills and interests became my priority, for I believe that enforcing a relationship between two disagreeing parties is a
violation of respect and empathy. This year, Peer Tutoring introduced a new 1–on–1 program where a tutee is designated a specific tutor for every
session to better suit the tutees' personal needs. A student failing in areas of mathematics was assigned under my care due to the reliable attributes I
possess. I knew that unfamiliarity was bound to exist, so I set out to contact her first via email to break the ice. The outcome was terrific, because it
enabled us to escape the preliminary stages of awkwardness and move right into what's at stake when we finally met in

AVID Tutor Essay
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)
I am an AVID Tutor at my old high school Sierra Vista High School in Baldwin Park. This is going to be my second year working at SVHS and so

designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. It is also a program that motivates students to try to go to college. As
an AVID tutor, I am responsible for helping the students by tutoring them in small groups in a specific subject matter (Math
–History) by using
homework/lesson discussion in groups. We use the Socratic questioning to get students to think critically about a problem they are struggling on and

Becoming A Tutor: Course Analysis
This course has taught me many things about myself and who I am as a tutor. When beginning this course, I was not sure what to expect from the
overall class. I knew that I enjoyed helping others and I find myself to be a strong leader, so this course would be enjoyable for me. I expected
myself to be a tutor who was helpful and friendly, and I hoped to be the best tutor I could be. Becoming the tutor I am today took time, and there is
still lots of room for development. Before starting this course, I certainly did not have well developed skills that are needed to be a great tutor. I have
grown as a student and as a tutor throughout this semester, and I have even applied my knowledge from this course into other classes. I love helping
others,...show more content...
The concept which I found most useful was B.F Skinner's operant conditioning theory. His theory touched upon positive reinforcement, negative
reinforcement, and punishments, which are are relative things to consider while dealing with students in a classroom. Positive reinforcement is
rewarding the students for good behaviour, which is something I was constantly doing with my literary group while they were reading. After each
students turn reading, I would compliment their good work to reinforce their confidence in reading aloud. Negative reinforcement is telling the students
what they are doing is wrong so they can stop, in class I would point out the wrongdoings of a student so they have a chance to correct themselves.
When a student is distracted while reading and not looking at the novel, I would quietly get their attention and point at the novel to show them they
should be reading. Punishments are used to decrease a negative and unwanted behaviour. In class if a student acts up or continually does something
wrong, then they are able to be punished in order to eliminate a bad behaviour. Overall, B.F Skinner's concept of operant conditioning is something
which I have used throughout the entire
