Exciting Event for those interested in Economics! Nobel Prize winner in Economics - Jean Tirole - is coming to Tashkent. He studied monopoly and oligopoly and was very influential in our understanding. Jean Tirole is giving a lecture in Tashkent. The ticket prices are well worth the price. However, you can get them for a lower prize from my friend Muhammad. You can leave "+" to him to get the tickets cheaper than original price on iticket. http://t.me/iusupovic P.S. It's recommended to read his article and several chapters in his book if you are attending the event.

anyone interested in economics and is now based in tashkent? leave a reaction💥

⌛️Overused AI Words As you know, you MUST AVOID having your essays written by AI. However, a lot of students find that even when they didn't use AI, for some reason, they get a message from essay checkers that their essays sound like AI and need to change. I have compiled this file and it contains a list of most words and phrases that AI has a tendency to use and that has stayed in people's minds as "AI like". By checking your writing & this file and eliminating the "AI-like" words, you can avoid having your essay suspected for AI use. source: @levshamind and @levshacloser save/share @levshamind

Top Essay Mistake One common mistake a lot of applicants make is overmetaphorize their essays. Let me clarify. While reviewing essays, I saw a lot of people write creatively. Instead of using a direct way to communicate what happened, they use different devices like metaphor, parallels, sarcasm and more. It is valid that writing eloquently and creatively gives you points for uniqueness. However, you need to have audience awareness. The person reading your application is speedreader. He does not take long time like you reading out the essay orally. No. They do not have inner voice when reading. That is how you read fast. And when you write with metaphor, talking about cosmic relatvism and earth gravity, unless you have holy gift for it, you will present an obscure image to readers. As in the video, try to be more direct with your messaging. Do not circle around too much. Of course, showing is important. But things that might get the reader to misinterpret the reader are better avoided. Unless, again, you are a master writer. Always lean toward clarity. Clear writing is clear thinking. #writing @levshamind

23 applications for philosophy team! just a year ago, having 23 people interested in translating philosophy articles was unimaginable. with small rock-solid steps, hopefully we can inspire greater interest in people in uzbekistan in exploring the essence of what they are surrounded with. philosophy is not just about what philosophers at universities do. it is really how you define it for yourself. i see it as more like getting deep into what a name of the subject or idea means. for example, we use words like AI and memes all the time. but what is AI really? why does it exist and what caused its existence? by the way, we shot a nice podcast with @husan_thinking on knowledge, learning and philosophy. i will tell about it shortly after. @levshamind

hey guys! tomorrow we are finishing the 4th cohort of the study program. i had office hours with 2 ppl and their reviews have been, like usual, fantastic and tranformative (in a literal sense). the games and debates we enaged in regarding the nature of existence, morality and wealth increased each student's understanding of those core components of life. i am not going to tell the games since they are for exclusive joy and leisure of students, but below, i will send you some books we read.

if you have not still registered for this course on applying early decision, do so now. beyond learning about application, you will also have the opportunity to get feedback from each of these exceptional people. considering each would charge you 30$ for review, you are effectively getting a full-stack application review by experienced students and a course on application for free.

Harvard Reading Procedures This is how Harvard University assesses applicants This is a Summary Sheet that captures information on how Admissions Officers at Harvard College read and evaluate applications. Share & Save @berkeley_uz - SAT Courses

on College Essays One of the core components of your college application is the uniqueness of topics and insights you bring up in your essays. Quite often, applicants tend to bring up common insights and lessons and evidences from their personal experiences (e.g. sports injury, mun) or well-known facts and quotes (e.g. martin luther king jr's famous "i have a dream..." speech against racial segragation). These experiences and lessons of course are powerful and original in their own way. However, one thing you need to realize is how many people apply with similar stories. You are not the only person who talks about sports injury, MUN experience where you were open-minded, or a conversation you had with a smart relative. These stories are common. And it is no bad to tell them. The twist here is what and how you extracted the insight. For example, if you have uncommon creativity and skill with the word power, you can play with words and bring fresh imagery. But you need not assume that you are one unless you have had wild track record of creativity. The more effective strategy is to have constant dialogues with many people and learn their unique view on a topic from them. Or you can read books/papers/essays by the greats. In Advanced English Study Group Program, we do the last one. We take on a brief journey to dinner parties with the great minds. We try to learn their perspective. And it is not that they are famous/great that we take insights from them. No, we are not trying to impress by namedropping a famous/influential scientist's name. That is not why we do it. We do it because those philosophers/natural philosophers contemplated and had dialogues with people about that topic for decades and their will to truth made their arguments and takes extremely logical. Think about it. By studying these great minds, you gain profound insights that you can enlive your essays through. sititng on a desk with your macbook and google docs on, with a cup of hot espresso, you are writing about a time where you had to make an important and bold decision. suppose it was to start working. but it could go against principles of your families or society. This is an amazing essay topic choice. But we have learned from the past that amazing ideas do not count. What counts is execution. In the blank white google docs page, you are setting up the colorful description of the context, place and time of the event. Then you want to move to the conflict part. To maximize the effect, you need to bring a fresh perspective. One interesting idea would be to discuss how, say, Heidegger and Bertrund Russel would think about the decision. By doing a masterful, concise, and nuanced analysis, you could write a memorable piece, showing your approach to life and lessons you learned from it. One, it is interesting, unique and personal. Two, it is academic. After all, admissions officers are looking for students who will be doing rigorous learning and research with university professors for whom what you did in that specific paragraph or two is not a single move but a lifestyle. This way you can leave a powerful impression in the mind of admission officers. You can gain all these skills during the advanced english study group in just 2 weeks. On top of gaining interesting ideas for essays, you can improve your general english, which can help you with your IELTS and SAT. In the last session, we read and discussed the concept of meritocracy and how it spread across the world. Studying why some colleges are meritocratic and other political entities are aristocratic can improve your critical thinking skills and give you the new lens through which to view the world. here is the link to learn more about it: levsha.uz/courses/ppe your friend and humble servant, levshabek @levshamind
