Unofficial Charity Knitting Month Masterpost

Hey tumblr knitters and crocheters! Awhile ago I made a post saying that charity donations tend to drop off after Christmas (and when the tax year ends), and that cold-weather items are still needed in January, February, etc. I said I was going to spend all of January knitting only for charity, and asked if anyone wanted to join. I got A LOT of positive responses, so I’m putting together this masterpost of information! I will update it occasionally, so make sure to check back for more info. [You can also message me if there’s something you want to add to the masterpost]

Basic Information

After spending all of November/December knitting Christmas gifts for our loved ones, lets spend January knitting for those in need! I have dubbed January 2016 ‘Unofficial Charity Knitting Month.’ 

All knitters and crocheters are invited to participate (actually, all crafters are invited to participate!)! Even if you don’t knit or crochet, you should check out your local charities to see what kinds of items they might need during winter.

What Charities Can I Knit/Crochet For?

National and International Charities (Please check to see if the charity is active in your country):

Afghans for Afghans - an American-based charity sending knitted hats, mittens, and blankets to Afghanistan.

Knit-a-Square - Charity based in South Africa that accepts world-wide donations of knitted squares for blankets.

Project Linus - Knit blankets for children in need (you can drop off with a local volunteer coordinator). Also includes links for knitted and crochet blanket patterns.

Warm Up America - Knit/crochet blankets OR individual 7″x9″ squares.

Lion Brand Charity Finder - Find charities that are located close to you!

25,000 Toques - A Quebec-based charity knitting hats for Syrian refugees in Canada (website in French and English).

Go Local:

Try the following places in your town or city:

Homeless shelters

Women’s shelters (you could even ask if they’d like someone to come in and teach knitting!)

Youth organizations (same comment as above!) (also, my local youth organization has a teen parent program that I often knit baby hats and blankets for)

Crisis programs

Hospitals (most hospitals have some kind of baby/preemie hat program…they may also accept hats for chemo patients)

Nursing homes

What Should I Knit/Crochet?

If you’re knitting for a specific charity, remember to check out their website. They probably have links to different patterns that you can use for that organization. Below are some generic patterns for charity knitting (if you have any favorite crochet patterns, please message them to me and I’ll add them!):

Babies/Children

Garter Earflap Hat

Basic Baby Hat

Luuk

Preemie Hats for Charity

Basic Children’s Mittens

Baby Mitts

Adults

Classic Cuffed Hat

Super Soft Merino Hats for Everyone

Ribbed Watchman’s Hat

Skyping Beanie

Seaman’s Cap

Maize Fingerless Gloves and Mittens (for adults and children)

Classic Mittens

Scrunchable Scarf

Nola’s Slipper Pattern

Hiking Socks

Etc

Mother Bear Project Teddy Bear

Beans the Cat

Hedgehogs

Chevron Baby Blanket

Leafy Baby Blanket

Granny Square Blanket - I don’t have a specific pattern, but get some friends together, choose a granny square pattern, and crochet up a bunch! Join them together for granny square blankets.

Easiest Baby Blanket EVER - Choose any yarn and appropriate size needle. Cast on 5. Every row (RS and WS) is the same: knit 3, yarn over, knit until end of the row. You’ll end up with a triangle that makes half a blanket. When you’ve reached the width you like, start decreasing. Again, every row is the same: knit 2, k2tog, yarn over, k2tog, knit until end of the row. Do this until you have 5 stitches left, and cast off.

How Can I Check Out Other People’s Projects?

You can use the tag ‘charity knitting’ on Tumblr and #charityknitting on Instagram or Twitter. Make friends with the other charity knitters! :]

(Also, if you’re following my blog, I will be reblogging charity knitting posts).

Do I Get Anything for Participating?

The satisfaction of helping someone in need! ALSO…I’m throwing around the idea of giving out a prize at the end of the month. I think the winner will be drawn from everyone who posts in the ‘charity knitting’ tag on Tumblr ;)

Thank you so much to everyone who is participating! I’m very excited and I think we’re going to keep a lot of people warm this winter :]

Free Online Courses

This week I will be talking about the benefits of online courses, and listing out couple of sites that provide amazing free online courses from great universities.

So, the advantages of these online courses…

For the most obvious - it is free. I mean, what is better than freely access courses in amazing universities like Harvard, UCB and more?

For high school students - it’s a great way for you to find your interest and think about what you wanna pursue in the future. You may be stuck now thinking, hey, what should i do in uni/college?? Well, you may just as well have a taste of courses in different fields here and see if any of these appeal to you.

For college/uni students - it allows you to learn more, and widen your perspective (and help you to get a better gpa?). There may be courses that you are interested at but can’t really take it in college, or there may be courses that is relevant to your field and so you can explore more (which probably may boost your grades)

These courses are super well organised and flexible - they are all scheduled and the courseware is really nice and sufficient - if they are courses that have ended, you can just do it whenever you want to. If they are courses that are going on / about to start - you can either follow the schedule offered or again, just have your own schedule. Basically you can take the course whenever and wherever you want.

And here are the free online courses’ sites options:

edX - they have an app on iphone to view the courseware/videos too

Coursea 

FutureLearn

Open2Study

Academic Earth

Alison

Open Learning Initiative

Tufts Open CourseWare

UC Berkeley

UMass Boston

University of Michigan

University of Notre Dame

Utah State University

Open Yale Course

Canvas (submitted by cherokee-fangirl)

Some of these are certified which means you can actually earn a certificate after completing the course which you may put in your CV/resume.

On top of the above, you can also browse through iTunes U. There are also tons of great podcast that are all very informative.

p.s. message me if i’ve missed out any free learning online resources! i would love to know plus i can add those on the list! :)

Let’s strive for the best! x

#3 || Link to my study tips series - i post once a week here!  (strive-for-da-best)

Tips for Studying Chemistry

Chemistry can be very difficult, even those of us who have made it through physical chemistry. I cried and I debated whether or not I should really be a chemistry major. Well here I am with a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry and I will be attending graduate school in the fall in hopes to obtain a Ph.D. in Organic and Analytical Chemistry. 

Resources:

-Here is my masterpost on chemistry resources as well as random life shit -Physics resources because if you’re a chemistry major, you’ll need physics from study-well -More chemistry resources  from study-well -And some biology resources from my biochemistry peeps out there from study-well​

General Tips:

-Handwritten notes, I find, are the best way to learn chemistry. Writing everything out and drawing structures and diagrams provides a more thorough learning experience as opposed to typing things out.  -DO ALL OF THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS -If you are unsure of a concept, PLEASE utilize your professor’s office hours. They are almost willing to help you out if you go to designated OFFICE HOURS.  -Read the lecture chapter before you come to lecture. This allows you to get a preview of what to expect. Take this time to familiarize yourself with topics you’re unsure of.

Studying:

The unfortunate part of chemistry is the fact there are different branches of chemistry and you can’t always take study techniques you used, in say organic chemistry, and apply them to physical chemistry. Here is what I did for each chemistry branch:

1) General Chemistry:

I had MasteringChemistry with my lectures, so I had extra sets of homework problems to practice

I used the textbook a lot, since I was a freshman and this was how I studied in high school, which didn’t always work in my favor on the exams. However, using the problems at the end of the chapters helped me cement all of the concepts down.

I was a freshman when I took this, so I thought memorizing things could get me an A. BIG MISTAKE. If you’re a chemistry major or thinking of becoming a chemistry major, general chemistry concepts come back to bite you in the butt hard if you don’t get understand them the first time.

Honestly, this was about 5 years ago, so I cannot remember everything I did. Just practice!

2) Organic Chemistry

Practice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! Rewrite and do as many reaction problems as you can.

The textbook helped me for concepts and problem solving strategies for the different types of reactions, but did not help me on the exam material. My organic chemistry professor, who is also my research adviser, is a natural product chemist and she loves the quirky, medicinal reactions that require enzymes.

I have been told to get this book for organic I and organic II. I didn’t use these books because I already had to spend a shit ton of money on books, but my friends swore by them and even my professors recommend it.

I started to use connections between the lab reactions and lecture reactions, which helped me understand rather than memorize.

If your professors post their old tests and quizzes, USE them! They may not be the exact questions, but at least you get to see how your professor tests you.

3) Analytical:

This is really broad because you generally have two types of analytical courses if you have an American Chemical Society-Certified degree which include Quantitative Analytical Chemistry *Quant Chem* (sophomore level) and Modern Analytical or Instrumental Analysis (senior level). Here is how to study:

Reread ACID-BASE REACTIONS and EQUILIBRIUM, SOLUBILITY EQUILIBRIUM, AQUEOUS CHEMISTRY, REDOX EQUATIONS, DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS, SIG-FIGS, and SOLUBILITY RULES OF IONS. These are reoccurring topics in Quant Chem and should be practiced if you’re a little rusty.

Do the homework problems.

There is a lab component to the analytical labs. Try to make a connection between the lecture theoretical questions and the lab, which has the practical applications. It does help when understanding homework problems in equilibrium.

READ the textbook and annotate.

Ask questions if ANYTHING is unclear.

4) Physical Chemistry:

To be honest, this is the hardest class to give tips in to help study since this is the class you either get it or you don’t. I struggled with this class. Thankfully the lab was 25% of my grade and I made A’s in the lab, but did so crappy in the lecture that the lab grade was the only saving grace I had to pass with a C. Here is what I did to survive:

Do EVERY SINGLE homework problem. I cannot stress this enough, especially with physical chemistry.

Buy the solution for this class. Trust me, it will help 8/10 times. Sometimes there are errors in the textbook or they leave out steps, but having this is muy importante in kinda understanding the topics and if your problem solving skills are heading in the right direction. Do not depend on this fully though, only if you need to check the answer afterwards or are unsure of how to approach the problem.

Know your basic general chemistry skills like orbitals and basic calculus skills like integration and derivation.

Read and reread the textbook. The textbooks for physical chemistry are dry, dull, and awful to read a majority of the time, but do read the chapter and reread it again to annotate chapters.

Look up old physical chemistry exams on the web and take practice exams. Its more practice with the material that may not be your professor’s style, but PChem professors love to throw wacky test questions your way.

Ask older students for copies of old tests and quizzes from the class from the same professor. I normally say, “do your own work and don’t ask for old tests”, but for this class I got the old study guides from the senior students which were the exact questions from the tests. Some professors don’t change their exams, some do. This to your discretion and this may be considered cheating, but I am not sure. If you don’t feel comfortable using old tests without the verbal and written say-so of your professor, don’t do it.

5) Biochemistry:

Ok, this class is memorizing EVERYTHING. Sugars, amino acids, metabolic cycles, and there is no way around it. 

Write and rewrite everything out. Draw the structures with the stereochemistry, the abbreviation, the name, etc. 

Read the chapters before lecture, it’ll help.

Do the homework problems, of course (see a theme?) 

I used study groups in this class, but I had, at a max, 3 people in the study group including myself. It helps to quiz each other on everything to memorize.

Concepts are a big part of biochemistry. While there are parts to memorize, such as the amino acids, you have to understand how these amino acids will later form a protein and the processes involved. The metabolic pathways, which are useful for medicinal chemistry, requires more thought process and will later return if you pursue biochemistry as a major or Ph.D. study.

6) Inorganic:

Have a good chemistry model kit (not the organic ones), especially if you cannot see 3D structures. You will need this for symmetry operation visuals, which help for solving spectroscopy problems

Update:Here are some model kits you can get: https://www.sargentwelch.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?catalog_number=WLS61900-M  http://www.molecularvisions.com/  http://www.molymod.com/sets.html http://www.indigo.com/molecular_models/student_sets/chemistry-organic-inorganic-models-set-68827W.html?osCsid=53jutidv2333el9kcn9mf1stl2#.Vahkn_lVhBc

Read the text book and take a lot of notes prior to class

Do as much as the homework problems as you can after lecture

Go to office hours and ask questions if ANYTHING is unclear. Most of the topics towards the end are repetitive.

Stay on top of all your work for each section. Like I said, towards the end of Inorganic, things either come back to haunt you or you are doing the same type of problem over again.

There are other chemistry courses by each university, but here are the general branches of chemistry you can expect in any degree at any university. These tips are what helped me through my degree and I graduated above a 3.0. Hope this helps :) 

[scholarlysquad-blog]

hey guys!!!

so this entire past month has been extremely, extremely stressful for me because i had so many exams and i only realised how hideously unprepared i was for them on the day before the exam, which was really really awful. so in the middle of september i created a studyblr to keep myself motivated + get some helpful tips from the studyblr community on how to go abt studying for tests. the results proved to be super helpful and ive resolved to keep running this blog for as long as i can, because it really helps me stay motivated and i’ve already learned so many things from the community, despite the fact that i’ve only been here for around a month.

but anyways, i decided to create this masterpost in order to help others stay motivated + keep studying not only well but also properly i.e. not necessarily studying for exams but life in general, if that makes sense.

Introduction: WHAP (or APWH) is usually the very first AP course that students take, which accounts for the low mean score on the exam. Most students simply aren’t ready to write at the necessary level and develop the skills to critically analyze the history of the world in broad trends and connect events to each other.    

After taking the course, how did I feel about it? I won’t deny, it’s time consuming. However, it really wasn’t my most time-consuming class (read further for time management tips), and I had an excellent teacher (who is actually an AP grader), so I always maintained very high A’s in the course, and when it came time for the AP exam, I thought it was a breeze (I scored a 5). I never struggled in the class, but you certainly need to put in a good bit of work.

Review Book: Princeton Review”s Cracking the AP World History Exam.

Princeton Review is by FAR my absolute favorite review book series, especially for social studies courses. The writing is engaging and humorous, and much more easier to remember than reading a dreary textbook. It also included little boxes on each page that compare and contrast or give a change and continuity (VERY useful for essays). The practice tests are quite a bit harder than the actual AP exam, so don’t get discouraged with your results from them.

Crash Course World History, World History 2

I really can’t stress how much I loved these videos; I would fall asleep listening to them almost every night, and I adore the way John Green teaches history.

GetAFive

My teacher had us sign up for this course, and we had to watch the videos and take the quizzes that corresponded with the time period we were currently studying.

Tips:

Time management, time management, time management. I seriously cannot stress this enough. We had weekly reading quizzes, meaning that we had to take notes over about 20 pages. I became so efficient at taking notes that I usually finished within the weekend, meaning that I had the week open to take care of homework from other classes (we had the quizzes on Fridays). We also had extra readings to do, so getting reading notes out of the way as quickly as possible is a tremendous help.

30/30. This app is available on the Apple store, and I used the pomodoro method mainly for taking textbook notes, but honestly it’s fantastic for budgeting your time in general.  

Form a study group. You know what they say: if you can’t teach it then you don’t really know it. Especially for a history course, where you are essentially telling a story, taking it out with people is so helpful. I’m often the one doing the talking, and I make sure to add little jokes and anecdotes that I use to remember the information better.

Do your textbook readings. There are people who wait until even right before we take the quiz on Friday to start reading/taking notes. Not everything in the textbook will be covered in class by your teacher; there is simply to much information and too little time for that. Remember, this is WORLD HISTORY, from 8000BCE to present day. That is a huge amount of information to cover in a school year. Not reading your textbook will cause you to miss out on important information that you might be tested over, either in school or on the AP exam. And at the very least, it could have provided some good evidence points to use on the essay.

Take practice exams.  Your teachers should administer mock exams to you (we had two), and don’t blow those off, because usually they will use released exams or questions College Board has provided for them to use as samples. This also allows you to practice budgeting your time, especially when it comes to the 2 hours you have for writing 3 essays. If this isn’t provided for you, use the links above for practice question and the practice exams in your review book.

Know your geography. It’s often very disorientating to learn about places like Mesopotamia, because surprise surprise, boundaries have shifted a ton since the beginning of civilization. Textbooks will tell you where these places are located according to the modern world, or by land forms, and if you don’t even know those, you’re in trouble. So make sure you know that if I’m talking about East Asia, it’s China, Japan, the Koreas, etc. This is how the essays will refer to them. If it asks for Sub-Saharan Africa and you talk about Egypt (Middle East/North Africa), you’ve just received no credit. Check out my link to maps above.  

Practice writing essays. Without a doubt, the essays were what worried me the most about the exam. You can always narrow your choices down in the multiple choice section and make an educated guess, but if you know nothing about the prompt, it’s difficult to get more than a couple of points, if that. So check out College Board’s released free response questions (to 2012 to present, you need to either sign in or just google the year you wish to see). Practice, practice, practice!  

How to write an AP World essay. DBQ, CC, CCOT

This isn’t English class. No one’s going to care about how many SAT words you stuff into your essay if you don’t even know who the Mongols are. This isn’t English; make your writing clear and concise. Those essay graders scan your essay for 2 minutes, tops, and if your writing is so elaborate and complex that it takes more than 2 minutes for someone to digest, that’s going to cost you some points.

You have more time for essays than you think you do. At first glance, 2 hours for 3 essays doesn’t seem nearly long enough. But trust me, it’s plenty of time. I even had time to not only go back and edit my essays, but also to take a 30 minute nap. 

Understand broad trends. History is often taught as no more than memorization, which is unfortunate. Yes, you will have to remember information to answer the multiple choice questions, but you’ll need to apply the knowledge. Most of the questions will involve something like cause and effect, compare and contrast, etc. Those answers will rarely be taught directly to you.                                                                           

My Quizlet. Some vocabulary that might help. 

My AP World tag

Final words: AP World is truly a wonderful class. Part of this was because I adored my teacher, but most of it was because you finally get to learn about the gray ares of “not-America” (in fact, it may please you that the US isn’t even touched upon until the final period). It really is such a travesty that most students in the US are presented with such a eurocentric view of the world (the irony being that even the little bit of European history we learn is poorly taught), when Europe is present in so little of history, which is why this course/exam is only 20% Europe. So don’t look at this as just another boring history class. You’re looking at the forces that shaped the world in what it is today, good and bad. And who knows, thanks to this course I’m set on minoring in history. Maybe you’ll find your passion too!

Have fun, good luck, and if you have any questions or would like some more specific advice, or if you wish to look at some of my notes feel free to message me!
