Tutoring help. (with pay)

[Minten]

I know I'll get some flame for this but some of my teachers don't do their job and it is affecting me grade wise in those classes. The one class I have the most trouble in right now is Biology. It's a sophomore class and I may need some help due to my teacher missing at least 3 of the 5 teaching days a week. It has had a great effect on the whole class and also the other 4 classes he teaches. When he does teach he isn't very organized and often has a hard time correlating his lesson. So I was just wondering if anyone could help me out every now and then on Language arts and/ or biology.


I'll get a copy of my homework for tonight. It's interesting but also too complex for me to teach myself.


Here's what we have to do .

Create a concept map, ie: http://images.brighthub.com/a3/2/a32b6eed00e77f42f4524ecb3d18e88afd858e5a_large.jpg
on Photosynthesis.

It must include the following terms and have lines that connect the terms and use linking words to explain the connections.


Plants
Resources
Water
Minerals
Solar energy
Carbon dioxide
Soil
Sun
Sucrose
Roots
Glucose
Chlorophyll
Photosynthesis
Chemical energy
Monosaccharide
Air
Leaves
Stomata
Pigment
Starch Disaccharide
Phloem
Stem
Oxygen
Sugar
Polysacchharide
Biomolecules.


I will try to get you guys some form of payment

Anyways.

I guess I just wasted 10 minutes explaining.

Dude.

May I present to you the thing know as youtube. Search photosynthesis. You will learn more than you need to and maybe even enjoy it. I did and I haven't had to know anything plant related in about 6 years (first year of college).

That's not a bad video. I don't have time to look at videos though. Like in that one I didn't get any information that I had already known. A waste of my time essentially. That's why I read more articles and reports.

Minten-

The other thing I would recommend would be finding a fellow student, preferably one that can teach you a thing or two, and work on stuff together. Maybe even bug another science teacher. We snowesterners will have difficulty getting to you on time and being able to react with you to changes as they arise. I can imagine it is a bit of a struggle to feel left out in the wind, but having almost clicked 3yrs of medical school on the odometer, I can tell you learning how to learn for yourself is a life skill that will take you to great heights. All the best mate.

Cuz it is so late and I should be reading my own work (any interest in deep tissue sutures?), why not help out once eh? Ha.

Anyway, might I recommend taking this in pieces. Like a drawing. Draw where these things are. Chlorophyll? In a chloroplast. Which is in a plant. That can do photosynthesis...etc. Does that help? I always work best with images...

Thanks mag. I do also ask other students but like I stated, he doesn't teach the whole class and it's harder for them to understand.

I do teach myself most of my school work actually. If I can't I fall back on my mother to help me. She's been sick for a little, I don't want to bother her with something like this. But I know for sure she hates this teacher.

Well essentially the map is a drawing of words.

Well took another look at it and what I see is this:

Sugars as outcomes of the energy fixed from externals sources (Biomolecules) anything with -cose or -saccharide
Plants parts
sources of plant nutrients/resources (water (h2o), soil, uv rays from sun, etc)

I would use the plant parts to connect the end product (sugars) with the original source (resources)

Yeah, that's what I got going right now. It will have to be tidied up and then I'll scan a copy in when I'm done. ETA 30 mins

 

[Minten]

Done. =) It's sideways though

 

[treemagnet03]

Well, hope it goes well. Only comment is that a polysaccharide is broken into a disaccharide which breaks into a monosaccharide...too tired to see anything else. Gots me some patients tomorrow that would appreciate me sleeping...

I'm pretty tired too. I kind of just made sure I had them all done and threw them on.

If you feel that your teacher is neglecting you and other classmates, go see the Principal or assistant principal. Supervising teachers and their behaviors are part of their job, not just keeping kids in line. If you aren't comfortable, have your parents speak to them.

My mother and another students parents are in the process of talking to the district. I'm not sure who they're going to though.
