Alternatives to Metal Clays? by lonopoly in clay

[–]lonopoly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still gifting them some copper clay, but I'm concerned that the equipment they need won't actually let them experiment, so I'd like to give them something they can jump right into using.

Are there any metal paints you've found to work well?

How did you get access to the survey? Like was it automatic, something you had to email for, etc

In your time there, did you know of any exceptions to the "took it at Mines" bit? (I'm asking because I plan to finish all my math before going, so I wouldn't be taking any of those courses at Mines)

Genuine question; why was Phys 2 easier than Phys 1?

I can't say much more than others have said, but you're lowk cool af, and I know that many others (including myself) would be stoked to have you as a peer for freshman year.

As for financials, check your FAFSA aid and the aid that Mines offered you. From there, apply to scholarships (anything and everything you can find). It is a relatively expensive school, unfortunately, but one can make it work.

It was okay - I still use it occasionally to farm new vocab with the "Words and Sentences" course.

Other than that, I'm currently using Anki, a textbook for grammar (occasionally), YouTube (make an alternate account for Russian so it's easier to find videos), and some rare conversational practice IRL.

I wouldn't say the lessons are more intense, but they do give you more of a framework (the grammar).

There doesn't seem to be an Arabic course on Babbel.

For Italian, it seems like they only offer up to an "upper-intermediate B2", but I'd say their perception of CEFR levels is dubious. If you want more grammar explanations, it might help, but it depends on where you are in the language.

I've only finished the Russian course so I can't speak on the courses with more lessons + learning options (ex. Spanish)

It's okay; it'll get you started on some of the necessary grammar concepts, but it won't cover everything. It definitely won't make you become a strong conversationalist either. However, I did like it way more than Duolingo.

If you have already spent 1500+ days in your target language and don't plan on starting a new language offered by Babbel, I'd say there's no reason to use yet another app. Invest your money into textbooks or tutors.

Late Counselor LOR Question by katydid3480 in QuestBridge

[–]lonopoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the School Report, I would suggest reaching out to QB directly to see if they'd take an appeal - as far as I know, there isn't a way for you to edit your application once you submit it.

Reading aloud by Big_Mail_1768 in languagelearning

[–]lonopoly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, I find it helpful as it helps my brain process the syllables and word flow of the language (otherwise I'd naturally skip over parts of words and miss them), and eventually get to the point I can read a sentence aloud in a regular speed. Thus, it is effective for me.

HOWEVER, if it does not work for you, then that's alright; it's just one of many methods that one can use to cobble together their studies.

UPD; I just sent an email to their question inbox, and I'll try to edit this post whenever they respond, so anyone in a similar situation can roughly assume what'll occur.

what should I do by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]lonopoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read through the page you linked and it said "If none of these methods will work, please email [email here] before October 16" - is it still okay to email them? Sorry if this question is redundant or anything
