I can probably help, what's your question?
I have a test on organic chemistry coming up and I've been studying, so I may be able to help! c:
Oh gosh, I forgot to respond here. Bell Tree doesn't notify for someone quoting you :/
Well since I didn't study organic so well last year, I'm having trouble with some really basic stuff.
- What exactly is chirality of a compound? What makes a structure chiral?
- What are the sigma and pi bonds? How do you identify and distinguish them?
- I'm having trouble comprehending the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution reactions in haloalkanes and haloarenes ;u; can anyone help me out with that?
- Which ones are the ortho, meta and para positions in a cyclic structure? I have a bit of an idea but I still need something assuring to carry forward with what I think they are.
- How would you label the alpha, beta and gamma in the structure of a compound? What exactly are they, and why do you use them? Here's an example of the kind of structure I'm talking about: http://masterorganicchemistrycom.c.presscdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1-carbonyl.png
I have a few more nomenclature related questions but I need to revise my stuff once again to come up with queries. I can't ask these questions from my teacher or something because they'll just end up mocking me on how I should've learnt them in lower classes but I had my problems; that's just how teachers are here ; ___;
Any help would be appreciated c: Thanks in advance! Also major thanks to Rei and Zandy for running this thread haha.

I'm not too good at writing either but you still should post what you're gonna send in here c:

I would post it here, but I am afraid that someone is going to steal it and claim ownership or that the admission officers will run it through turnitin.com and see this post.
You can send me a PM with the essay in it, I'm not sure how helpful I will be but I can try
Oh yea that makes sense
Well feel free to PM it to me then and I'll give whatever input I can c:

After Mon and Tues, even the calendar says WTF
PMing you. If you still need help, I've been in French Immersion since SK, I'm now in grade 9 and taking all my courses in French. Currently, I'm working on a project for French. If you need help, I'll gladly be here!

Does anybody have tips on essay writing? I'm in a bit of a difficult situation... I have to write an essay on Witchcraft, and how it is practiced just like another religion in certain societies. However, it has to be between 1400-1500 words and you can only use two articles as sources. I'm having a hard time moving things along.
What do you do when you write essays? Any tips would be appreciated!

What sort of essay is it? Is it more of a synopsis/summary or is it more of an "analyze"-sort of essay (or both/neither xD)?
What I find helps is that you first read through your sources and pick out the most important/pivotal facts. Then when you write the essay, you can state those important aspects and delve deeper by explaining the who/what/when/where/why/how on your own knowledge of the subject and from the sources you've looked at.

It's more of an analytical essay, explaining why a certain thing is what it is. Hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life! But I appreciate the input, I will see how that helps. Thank you and thanks for making such a helpful thread! I'll likely be a regular here with my university studies
I don't know much about American history (I live in Canada and in school we studied Canadian history and I don't even remember much of that xD), however, there's a few things you can try that can help you learn any type of history.
You could make coloured study cards. Adding colour to things that are important to remember can help you remember when when you need to write tests/quizzes.
Another tip is to learn the material as though you're going to teach someone about it. Teach a sibling/friend what you've learned. Being able to explain what you've learned really solidifies the learning process

I hope that things become a little easier for you and I'm glad that you're finding the thread useful =)!
Oh also when you start writing your essay again, try playing this in the background. I've found it helps block out distractions and improves focus/productivity but it might just be the placebo effect xD.

Whoa, that music got me in the zone! Thanks so much!
Would anyone by chance know how to integrate trigonometric functions that are raised to the power greater than 1 such as sin^2 x or cos^2 x? I figured out how to integrate regular sinx and cosx functions but I don't understand what to do when there is a power greater than 1...
