Future University in Egypt (FUE) affirms a commitment to “an atmosphere that values intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge while preserving academic freedom and integrity”. FUE is thus committed to creating environments where freedom of inquiry occurs in a climate of inclusiveness and civility. Central to this commitment is the principle of treating each member of the University community fairly and with respect. To encourage such behavior, FUE prohibits discrimination, disrespect, and harassment and provides equal opportunities for all community members regardless of their race, color, religion, ethnic origin, ancestry, medical condition, marital status, gender, or age.
Biology Reference: Simple and easy-to-use, this alphabetized directory of biology topics features detailed encyclopedic entries written by on-site authors.
All articles feature a bibliography of sources and comment field for readers to provide feedback.
A significant amount of interlinking between entries allows users to browse similar topics with relative ease.
Ptable: This illustrated guide to the Periodic Table of Elements features definitions of all elements, as well as information related to orbitals, isotopes, compounds, and other fundamentals of chemistry.
All element definitions are linked to their corresponding Wikipedia pages.
The interactive diagrams allow users to toggle boiling/melting point, electronegativity, density, and other comparative aspects of different elements.
ChemnetBase: This database of reference materials includes guides to specific scientific topics, such as the ‘Combined Chemical Dictionary‘ and the ‘Dictionary of Drugs.' Subscriptions to the site are not free, but all new members receive a free thirty-day trial.
The site also includes a section dedicated to ‘Librarian Resources.'
‘Subject Collections‘ of e-books pertaining to 43 different professional fields are housed on individual pages.
A digital copy of the ‘CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics' is viewable in the read-only format, while hard copies are available for purchase on the site.
Chemtutor: Recognized by the National Science Foundation and SchoolZone, Chemtutor provides study guides related to 16 generalized chemistry subjects, including elements, kinetics, gases, and acids/bases.
All lesson plans are illustrated, and feature practice problem sets for new learners to complete.
The site features a search tool that allows visitors to browse different lesson plans for specific topics.
The site's link directory is powered by PSIGate, a search engine that exclusively yields pages related to the physical sciences.
PhysLink: This collection of learning tools related to physics and astronomy includes a directory of articles sorted by general topic, resources for educators, a job board for aspiring physicians and astronomers, and an online store.
The Physics and Astronomy Directory contains lists of university departments, student and professional associations, academic journals, and other resources pertaining to these two subjects.
Visitors can pose questions and receive feedback from experienced professionals, thanks to the ‘Ask the Experts‘ tool.
FUEThe ‘Fun‘ section features puzzles, cartoons, humorous articles, and other recreational materials.
Physics Help: Dr. Konstantin E. Nikitin maintains this compilation of study guides for different physics-related topics. Although the site is incomplete, Dr. Nikitin urges visitors to send him questions related to fields that do not have study guides at this time.
Each guide contains diagrams, tables, formulas, images, and other media to bolster the text.
Three appendices are available: Physics Constants, SI Units and Symbols Used, and Vectors.
MinutePhysics: Created and run by Henry Reich, this Youtube channel presents short videos geared towards educating viewers–students and non-students alike–on the wide range of physics topics.
They are presented in a style and language that simplifies complex topics without dumbing them down.
Review the following examples of test questions from a sociology class. The first question only requires that you recall a definition, which you can do well through rote memorization techniques, such as flash cards. The remaining questions require you to make connections or conclusions that may not have been directly presented by your professor or your text book.
To correctly answer test questions like those in the example, you must create study guides that will help you:
Condense course material into smaller amounts of information that are easier to remember.
Visualize, understand, and demonstrate relationships among concepts and ideas.
These study guides can be adapted based on your personal learning style and the information you need to organize. Experiment with these, as well as using other study guide formats that you have found to be effective. Remember, the purpose for study guides is to organize information so that you can demonstrate your knowledge at the critical thinking level your professor expects.
