How to Contact Us Advice for Returning Students Contemplating Veterinary Medicine Are you thinking of a career change? Are you interested in veterinary medicine but are concerned about the competitive admissions standards? We have some practical advice on how to discern whether you should spend time and money preparing for veterinary medicine admissions. Most veterinary colleges require a pre-med program. Our prerequisites are available at http://www.vet.cornell.edu/admissions/prep.htm Which prerequisite should come first? Chemistry should always be first (unless you never had calculus; most college chemistry requires some knowledge of calculus). Why should chemistry be first? Twenty-three of the twenty-seven U.S. veterinary colleges require inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is a two and a half-year sequence of chemistry, and you should not take multiple chemistries at the same time. The sooner you get started with the chemistry sequence, the sooner you can apply to veterinary college. The other course work, biology and physics, require one year of each and these may be taken simultaneously with the chemistries. Delaying with chemistry would just prolong your preparation period.

Saturday Mathematics Workshop Series University of Arizona Department of Mathematics Fall 2000 Workshops Past workshops Map showing location of UA Math Building Frequently Asked Questions What are the Saturday Mathematics Workshops? Each workshop runs from 9:00 - 4:00 on a Saturday and focuses on a mathematical topic which is interesting and accessible to motivated high school students, but one which falls outside the traditional high school mathematics curriculum. These topics are often related to current mathematical research, and so introduce the participants to some of the "real" mathematics that mathematicians actually study. Hands-on activities and technology are used as much as possible to introduce concepts to the attendees. Who attends the workshops? The workshops are attended by up to 30 high school students and teachers from southern Arizona. Usually, three or four teachers attend along with a small group of students from their schools, though many students attend without their teachers. The students gain some insight into what mathematics is really like, which not only piques their interest in taking more mathematics courses, but encourages many of them to consider studying science and mathematics when they attend college. The high school teachers not only bring a unique learning experience to their students, but also learn a great deal themselves about mathematical topics they may not have studied before. In addition, attending teachers provide valuable feedback to the workshop presenters about the success of activities, and give helpful teaching advice.

Physics SAXON PHONICS COURSE DESCRIPTION Phonics K, First Edition Phonics K begins by working with auditory discrimination skills to assess children's phonemic awareness that is, their cognizance of the different sounds of the English language. Phonemic awareness indicates that children are ready to learn to read. When they are ready, the parent begins to introduce each letter individually. In order to allow plenty of time for exposure, one week is devoted to the introduction of each letter. Phonics K students will: learn the sound, name, and written form of each letter review daily all previously taught letters to ensure sufficient exposure to and mastery of each letter create words by blending sounds spell by unblending sounds never be asked to read or write sounds that have not been taught be assessed regularly to monitor progress participate in games and activities that motivate, reinforce, and remediate.
