Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Review the school catalog. Look at the class schedule for the first term. Read the rules about overloading first, or ask for advice, before choosing the classes you'll take. Understand how units correlate to hours per week that you will spend. Ask school staff or returning students what a reasonable course load is. Find out if any of your chosen classes are difficult to get into.

Answer: This should list the requirements to graduate in your chosen major, and it is important that you understand what requirements you must fulfill. It will also give a brief description of the contents of the courses, which in turn will help you gauge how difficult each course will be and whether it will interest you. Begin making a list of classes you wish to take. Try to include alternatives both for times and for course titles, since certain popular classes may be crowded at first. Do any of the additional classes you want to take clash? Is it going to be possible to work around clashes or is this going to make one or more of the classes too difficult to complete? Cross off those that really won't work out. Some of the things to bear in mind include:  In some cases, your institution may not permit taking an extensive overload. If you need approval for an overload (many colleges require this), this is often an additional step from normal enrollment, so be sure to get the correct papers and approvals in advance. Do you know what penalties or flexibilities are in place for dropping, changing or failing additional courses taken?  It's a very good idea to know how many weeks into the term you have to withdraw from a subject without recording a fail, in case you realize you need to lighten the load and pick up the dropped subject later on. Often one unit corresponds to one hour in class, but the proportion may be different for certain things such as lab or review sessions. Remember that the number of units you take will also determine how much homework you will have. Plan to spend an average of two hours of study outside of class each week for each hour in class - though this, too, varies from class to class. Many schools have a certain minimum number of units you must take per term to be considered a full time student. This minimum number of units may not take up all of your time, and it may not get you through your curriculum in a reasonable number of terms. On the other end of the spectrum, you don't want to overload yourself with classes, especially not before you know how many units you can reasonably handle during a given term. Here again, try to get the advice of someone who has attended your school in your department. Aim to be at least on the waiting list for classes that are difficult to get into, as soon as you have all the prerequisites.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have fun with a mobile phone. Use a tablet or computer. Watch TV or a movie. Play video games. Listen to loud music. Set an alarm clock.

Answer: If you don't have a phone, borrow one from an someone who has one. They are great for keeping you entertained with games, apps, music, and videos. Make sure you have the permission of the person you are borrowing the phone from before downloading anything. If you need to connect to the internet to play a game, watch a video, or listen to music, make sure that you are wearing headphones or have turned down the volume. Ask your parents or older family members for permission before using a tablet or computer, if you do not have your own. You may already have games or apps that you enjoy, but you may also get help from your parents or older family members to help you find more that can help you pass the time.  While some apps are free others require a payment. Do not purchase anything without permission from your parents or older family members. If you have the permission to download something on someone else's tablet/computer, you may need to know what type of computer or tablet you have. Some apps may only work with a certain type of tablet, like an iPad for example. Read the description of your game or app to be sure it works with your computer or tablet. Ask an adult for help if you are still unsure. Use earphones so that you can make the volume as loud as you want without, waking up the rest of the house. Whether you watch a movie on a tablet or binge watch an entire TV series, choose something you enjoy. Watch a funny movie or a scary movie to keep your mind engaged. If you watch a movie that you have seen many times or a very slow movie, you may fall asleep.  Plan ahead of time and ask your parents or older family members to help you download movies or TV shows for your tablet, phone, or computer. You may also ask them for help to PVR some TV shows if your TV is able to record them. Use headphones to make sure that you do not wake up anyone else in the house. Whether you have a gaming console or are able to borrow one, video games can keep you occupied all night. If you are having trouble passing a level, then switch to another game. The more you get frustrated, the more likely you are to get tired and go to sleep. Borrow games from friends or family to make sure you are entertained throughout the night. You may have already completed all the games in your collection and a new challenge can help your mind stay alert. Make sure to use headphones when trying to stay awake with music. You do not want to keep the rest of your house awake. Listen to music with a faster beat as slow and quiet music may make you tired.  Create a playlist of your favourite songs that you know will get you energized the days leading up to your all-nighter. You may want to find music that will get you up and dancing. Use an mp3 player, mobile phone, or tablet that’s portable so that you can move around while you listen to your music. Use an alarm clock as a safety net when you try to stay up all night. If you feel yourself drifting, set the alarm for 30 minutes or one-hour intervals so you can jolt yourself awake. If you don’t have an alarm clock, ask to borrow one from your family or friends.  A digital alarm clock may be set by going into the settings menu for personal preferences on volume, the type of alarm, and how long your alarm will ring. Alarms work because they trigger your body’s natural stress response. Some alarms come with a snooze button that stops the alarm from ringing but restarts in a few minutes. While you immediately become alert once you hear an alarm, if you press the snooze button too much you will get your body to ignore its natural response which will leave you feeling groggy.  Test your alarm clock. Make sure that the batteries are good or plug it in if it doesn’t run on batteries. If you are borrowing it, ask the person you are borrowing it from how to set it and to test it with you to make sure it works properly.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine the reason to transpose the music. Identify the instrument's key. Move the notes up or down. Find the new key for the song. Fix your accidentals. Listen to the song played on the transposing instrument.

Answer:
If you're simply transposing the music to make it easier for the musician to play on their instrument, the transposition process is the same as if you were transposing the music for a vocalist.  Some songs are easier to play on some instruments in one key than in another. Beginner musicians often can play more complex songs if they are transposed to an easier key. If you are playing with a musician who plays a "transposing instrument," however, the process is a little bit different. Transposing instruments are those such as the clarinet, for which a C would sound like a B-flat when played. If you're transposing a song for a transposing instrument, the key of the instrument will tell you how many steps up or down you need to transpose the song. Your interval is the number of steps between the original key of the song and the key of the transposing instrument.  For example, if you have a song written in C that you need to transpose for a B-flat clarinet, you would need to move all the notes up a whole step, since B-flat is a whole step down from C. You also can use a transposition chart, that will tell you exactly what transposition you need if you want the song to sound right on transposing instruments. Now that you know the interval you need, all the notes in the song must be moved the same interval. Mark any sharps or flats not part of the key signature so you can come back to them. Move accidentals up or down from the same tone the note would have had in the original key signature. For example, if the song has a C-sharp and C is normally natural in that song's original key, you want to transpose from natural C. With all the notes moved and no accidentals, you should be able to work out what key the song is now in. If you're not strong on your keys yet, there are charts available online that will tell you. If you're working on sheet music, you'll want to note your key signature at the beginning of the song. Now that the entire song is transposed in the new key, you'll need to also move up any sharps or flats that appeared in the song and weren't part of the key signature.  Go back to the original song and find the accidentals. Work out how far the accidental moved the note from where it normally would be in the original key signature. For example, if your song has a C-sharp and C is normally natural in that song's original key, the accidental has moved the note a half-step. Find that note on your transposed song and move it up a half-step as well, marking the accidental accordingly. If you've transposed the song correctly, when it is played on the transposing instrument it will sound exactly the same as when it is played on a different instrument.
