Reviews by students who have been to the institute of education Dublin?

Posted by admin on April 24th, 2010 and filed under student reviews | 3 Comments »

Hii,
im thinking of repeating my leaving cert in the institute of education and would like to know what its like there?? is it good academically?? is it good socially?? where are the best place to get accommodation that’s near to the institute??
it would be greatly appreciated if people you have been there or just know about the place give me some idea whats it like tanx :) xxxx

Its very expensive to go there its around seven and half grand. The teachers do give you a lot of notes and tell you whats coming up on the lc but its never a hundred percent. There aren’t any clubs or groups to join, basicly no sports clubs or anything like that. Theres no accomodation provided by the institue so you’d have to find your own place to stay. I know it has a good reputation but there is over 400 people just in 6th year so there is 2 lot of students and only about 5 students get 600 points! Hope this gives you a better idea.

How long does it take for the Student Conservation Association to review applications?

Posted by admin on April 21st, 2010 and filed under student reviews | 2 Comments »

I applied for one of the national crews, and its been over a month already since i submitted my application. About how long does it take for them to review and place the applicants? Just curious =D

The placement staff for high school National Conservation Crews are reviewing applications now. If you are sure that SCA has received all of the required forms, both electronic and paper, it would be worthwhile to email them directly about your application. Go to thesca.org/national-crews and click on the Application and Placement link on the menu in the right-hand column to find their direct email address. Best of luck this summer!

Looking for customer reviews for Encyclopedia Britannica 2009 Student & Home Edition?

Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Encyclopedia Britannica 2009 Student & Home Edition

Customers on Amazon are essentially split. Negatives include installation difficulties, rebate problems, and the fact that you need to provide a credit card for the free year subscription to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Which means it will automatically bill you after the first year, unless you cancel. Positives include the vast amount of information, and the fact that it’s geared towards students.

This is my opinion, but whenever comparing something like this product to online services like Google, it is very important to remember that much of the information available online is not verified, and in many cases is wrong. This is especially important for students, because teachers prefer to see valid citations.

How important are anonymous reviews of professors?

Posted by admin on April 18th, 2010 and filed under student reviews | 1 Comment »

On either side of the scale, whether a person reviews them highly..

..or if the student reviews the professor with ‘below mediocre’ the entire way through..

Does it really make any difference? What are the consequences to the professor, if any?

Yes it matters. They are used for the professor’s promotion of tenure track.
Unless that professor you graded below mediocre is already a full professor, your reviews matter.

Great Planner, August 14, 2009
I bought this planner for my son and I was impressed with the quality and the price.

It isn’t just a calendar in a cover. The planner has tips on test taking, assignment organization, science/math/writing, goal setting, and a great daily subject by subject note space.

It especially like that it has three hole punches so he now has one three ring binder for all of his scheduling.

Definitely worth the bucks.

Best student review site of European schools?

Posted by admin on January 31st, 2010 and filed under student reviews | 1 Comment »

What are the most common websites where students provide feedback/commentary on their experiences at their current universities? I’m evaluating graduate programs in Europe (int’l business and MBA) and would like the local flavor of how students view the quality of their education, job prospects, salaries, social life, etc. I already have "whatuni.com" as a resource, but that focuses on UK schools only. Are there similar sites for mainland European schools? Thanks!

Information is below.

Asking parent reviews on Abeka curriculum for grade school students?

Posted by admin on January 4th, 2010 and filed under student reviews | 2 Comments »

My son is a first grader currently attending a Private Christian School, who teaches with Abeka up to the sixth grade level. I am concern that it will not challenge him enough in the years to come. At what point should I remove him, I am hearing different reviews. Any parents that can assist….Comment please!

From what I’ve seen, remove him immediately. Abeka is not considered ‘education’ in many subjects, especially science – your child will be very far behind when he enters a real school. It’s just religious propaganda.
