No-stress summer learning challenge 🌞: day 11

02.07.2023

I should have written this post yesterday, on day 10, but who cares? The update doesn't have to be every 3 days, it can be 4, or even 7. I did 2 lessons, do there is progress, and that's all that matters 🙂. The photos show my messy notes and a cute kitty lamp 🐈, with messy charger cables in the background 🔌. Learning isn't always aesthetic.

You don't know me... but let's work on that

Okay so like, I'm never active anymore. Really just gave up being active on tumblr because who the f is active here. Also I have a funny name now so it's fine- don't hate me for it.

Anyway, I thought, wow I really hate some stuff with teaching and no one having resources to free educational things so I thought to myself, why don't I just post items on here?!

Yea so that's what this is. You have classes you want to take, you don't have the ability to learn almost everything you ever wanted? Your teacher sucks ass? Well hopefully this helps makes everything better.

Mostly, all resources I know are about science and math (🫢wow surprised?!), and they can be tailored for whatever you need in long run. This became much longer than I thought it would be lol!

Topics Included:

Computer Science

Physics/Engineering

Math (HS Algebra and up)

Arts/Humanities

Computer Science

https://github.com/ossu/computer-science: this literally builds so much for coding and getting someone into programming. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for some classes (I don't know how much it would help with AP Computer Science or Principles, but it has so much information, anyone really wanting to learn about code could get started with this.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/: another win website, I'd def say a little more chaotic (?). It depends how you want to learn you know. Love the web design bs, not really into it, but their tuts and videos were helpful enough for myself.

https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/: Another beauty, these lectures really give so much for programming. Classes are held where you can even attend without being a harvard student. Lectures are intense imo, as it is a lot of content all in your face but just love the guy.

https://www.youtube.com/@alexlorenlee: Java. If you need any help in starting Java, I love these videos. He got me through a horrible class in my uni. Love him fr fr.

https://www.youtube.com/@crr0ww: Learning about any sorta malware, educational resources to get started with understanding your network, overall, just a really smart and funny guy. Love his videos. Really good at explaining basic contents.

https://www.youtube.com/@ColinGalen: Recommend his learning videos and how to think almost like a chess grandmaster. My own cs professor talks about drawing out code and being able to actually write what is going on in code.

Physics/Engineering/Sciences?

(sorry, I'm not mechanical engineer 🙈)

Electrical Engineering: Youtuber Michel Van Biezen is AMAZING. Also, dude as a sick ass drip and I love the bow tie. His circuits and physics lectures are so entertaining and helpful to understand. I really really really loved his videos as they helped me pull my grades up. His explanations are top tear, I really feel like he's so good at this.

GaTech Coursera Circuits: There are two of these classes here.

DC Circuit Analysis: First course. Helps you learn almost everything you should have learned in Physics Two and if not, don't worry they explain it somewhat well. Videos are condensed and good enough for someone to watch. Just know they don't do calculations on screen, and those can be pretty lengthy to solve.

AC Circuit Analysis: Same as above, they don't have as many items for this course, but def know it is a good course and necessary for understanding more modern circuit applications.

Every engineer wants to be him -> Michael Reeves , if you've never heard of him, please. This man will make you want to recreate his robots. He's a genius. He's everything every engineer wishes they could be.

NileRed : Do you want to be a fake chemist because Ochem made you want to die?? Well actually I just took chem 1 and changed my major, but NileRed it literally so fun. His chem videos are so fun and cool.

Thought Emporium -> mad biology scientists? Love this guy too! He's trying to be Spider-man and I love him for that. I hope he recreates those spiderwebs, I've been watching it for so long. Love this dude.

Robotics Engineering: Done by a youtuber who love for the anime reps!!! This guy focuses more on VR/AR, but loves carrying the same vibes as Michael Reeves, a Russian youtuber I know, and just overall very fun.

Mechatronics: Things to know for going into the field of Mechatronics (basically this is Robotics, just the more machine side). They recommend having that backbone in the core classes.

Learning for Engineering Students: Love that someone who was an actual engineer made some sort of engineering studying help. Would totally recommend watching, along with some other youtubers,

Tamer Shaheen (Mechanical Engineer) notes and exam recitation guides

British Engineer Loved her video, really similar to my own method of doing repeated practice problems.

My own study method!!! Create a google docs with Three columns:

Topic -> Usually this is how I'd organize the question. I did docs like these for each class, so I instead would put this as some topic within my class OR I would organize it by assignment it correlated to. I.E. alternating circuits or homework

Question -> really self explanatory, make sure to give details, dates, who you think you should ask, etc etc. There are no dumb questions, I'd really recommended these for computer science and would totally give my notes out for that shit.

Answers -> another self explanatory category, however, would recommend doing something a lil different with this box. Don't overwrite explanations. Also, don't take explanations. Write your own understanding of the solution, and a link/cite/provide some evidence for you or someone to turn back to.

Math

Organic Chemistry Tutor: Just, this man is everything. He has so many videos not only for chemistry but for other classes. I put him in math mostly because I used him for calculus I and II.

Khan Academy : Tbh, I loved their calculus course material. I'm not the biggest fan of them overall with some other provided materials (Like their SAT prep, really is only effective for helping students take it online and grading fast, but I'm pretty sure I have another post explaining how I found online materials for that bs and got a passing grade).

3 Blue 1 Brown (Math/ Calculus) : I feel like everyone knows him, he's so good at visualizing concepts. Great but still very complex videos, please understand that before going in. You might not be able to understand everything on first try, but always draw them out.

Studying Pure Math : Once you finished calculus and would enjoy some rigorous applications/learn about higher levels of math, this youtuber has linked a multitude of resources for those mathematical desires lol.

Small ideas of what is mathematics but this is such a beautiful video in explaining how mathematics is built up from each other. I think it changes your idea of how to study math (however, he does say you shouldn't memorize this stuff, but in the next bullet point, I wanted to show how I studied for math which did involve memorizing methods).

Studying thing I learned from youtuber but had sorta done myself, just think showing off this youtuber who's in oxford is fun!!!!

(Okay so I didn't find it, but the youtuber I thought who said the idea was Lucy Wang, still linking channel for the woman in math!!!).

So, in class you should be writing down examples, writing questions to the side, and looking for a pattern. When you find this pattern, you can organize your notes and your test answers. So like when doing an optimization problem in calculus, you have to draw the system, set up equations, ask what are you solving for, and the show the methods you used to solve. I would also recommend this for any numerical questions (for me, this included circuits, physics, and other math classes I've taken for a long time).

Professor Leonard: This man saved my calculus III grade. I love him. Please, he has almost all calculus classes, I don't think he has finished Differential equations and possibly one of his algebra courses, but his information is just great. His method of teaching is also phenomenal. And in the last video of his multivariable calculus playlist, he had the best quote ever. His wife and him were expecting a child, and he stated (this is horribly paraphrased but this was all I was thinking during my own calc III final):

"I'm pregnant- wait no- my wife's pregnant... But damn, I bet you I'd look good pregnant."

Arts/Literature/Humanities

https://www.youtube.com/@Chommang: Beautiful art, really enjoyed drawing alongside. Implores you to find your own style, but helps with anatomy, reference drawing, I literally knew nothing about this bs. But I really enjoy the videos.

Puppet History : Okay. So I know what you'll say if you saw these videos. But really, just if you want to start with history, it's such a good introduction, such a fun cast, and the lore is also something that I really think makes characters funny, long lasting, god. It's just so good and well written for some youtube puppet fever dream.

Reading Analysis: Literally just came up on my rec on youtube. Really nice in explaining the actual analysis of the text.

Japanese: I used it for practicing listening to Japanese, mostly just me trying to recognized sounds and words. I'm still a beginner in Japanese, cannot actually hold conversations, but this has helped me listen to others better.

Geography Now!: Learning anything about countries/ needing to learn about countries relationships, just enjoy knowing much trivia. I'd recommend this for those items. Also like, learning about other countries are so much fun! I would def say, there are countries he doesn't examine as in depth, ie, India. But if you're just getting into geography boom, here you go.

Some other recommendations for history, look up on coursera, edx, I mostly learn alot of these topics on youtube with video essays. Ngl, your own political beliefs will heavily affect how you learn these topics. There's no way around this. I hope for the sake of whomever, just please, learn both sides actual arguments. And if debates ever turn to arguments/yelling matches, leave. You need to have a strong sense of self- and in the end, if the other person doesn't understand or want to, there's nothing you can do about it. You can keep thinking your own beliefs, or feel inclined to research the topic later. If anyone gives you shit for believe in something that turns out to be factually incorrect, accept how you were wrong, why you were wrong, and understand that being wrong is a path of knowledge. If someone else believes you are wrong, however, they can't factual cite this, that is just a disagreement over some topic.

A thing I've said to others, is that everyone interprets the bible differently. You interpret His messages in a way I can never understand. And I the same. Since I cannot tell you how to interpret the bible, you cannot tell me. Something I truly believe is everyone has their own connection with God (not saved to Christianity, I know this is from an idiot in the bible belt in the USA but we'll deal with that later), and that connection guides them through life.

So for building this mindset, some books/videos I'd recommend:

*Please know, these books may contain triggering/unpleasant topics that readers should look into before selecting a book to read.*

The Myth Of Sisyphus, Albert Camus

Everyone's favorite psychopath, No Longer Human Osamu Dazai

Capitalism Realism Mark Fisher

Ecrits Jacques Lacan

Make It Stick Science of Successful Learning

Absurdism: A video similar to topic above, less academia-y language.

Classics Worth Reading: love love love Emmie! Her videos are pretty fun and I really enjoyed her classics recommendation.

Small amount of topics to go look up, search what you love, stay away from what you don't like. In the end, help yourself become a well rounded person by building up those ideas.

If yall wanna add more, please please please! Education is something I'll never get enough of. I believe it should be free, nonpolitical, and inspiring for all. Everyone deserves education because it makes us smart, capable, and healthy individuals. It builds our future. Good luck in your educational future. Hopefully I have spur of the moment to post my small study ideas, or resources for studying, so that others can focus being more time efficient. Just remember, control f (windows <3) or command f (mac users) to find whatever you need.

17. fairy lights or LED lights?

Uhhhhh I don’t know. Like what? On a Christmas tree? In the room? In a blanket fort?

I think it depends on the context, because both are a good choice. Sometimes one is better than the other.

I’m an electrical engineer; I don’t really have a preference when I see the benefits of both.

The Scottish engineer James Blyth died on May 15th 1906 in Glasgow.

Blyth was an electrical engineer, and a pioneer in the field of electricity generation through wind power and his wind turbine.

Born in April 1839 in Marykirk, Kincardineshire, Blyth was educated at the local schools before winning a scholarship to the General Assembly Normal School in Edinburgh. From there, he enrolled at the University of Edinburgh, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in 1861, before becoming a teacher of mathematics at Morrison's Academy in Crieff.

Blyth was then appointed Freeland Professor of Natural Philosophy at Anderson's College in 1880 (now the University of Strathclyde), where he began a research program on the use of wind power for electricity generation and storage.

This research culminated in the installation of a cloth-sailed, horizontal wind turbine (as opposed to the now more common vertical wind turbine) at his Marykirk holiday cottage in July 1887. Blyth's design was 33 ft in diameter and stored the electricity generated in 'accumulators', otherwise known as batteries, that's the turbine in the second pic from 1891.

In 1891 Blyth presented a paper to the Royal Society of Edinburgh espousing his belief in the benefits of renewable energy sources, particularly wind but also wave energy. Later that year he was awarded the Brisbane Gold Medal by the Royal Scottish Society of Arts for his work in producing electrical energy from wind.

After a lack of success offering his surplus electricity to the local village, whose residents branded electricity "the work of the devil", Blyth was able to install a larger, much-improved version of his wind turbine at the Montrose Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary and Dispensary, where it ran successfully for 30 years.

Blyth received an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow in 1900 and died on this day in 1906. After the turbine at Montrose Asylum was dismantled in 1914, there would not be another public utility wind turbine in Britain until 1951.

Hoy estuve estudiando por varias horas con descansos cortos, recomiendo mucho usar un pomodoro.

Además, he cocinado esta semana de una forma más saludable y balanceada. Soy de las que odian los vegetales, pero si los disimulo con condimentos y poco más, me sabe estupendo.

Por cierto, soy nueva en esto así que trataré de ser constante mas que nada variar mi rutina.

Many paid themes come bundled with premium plugins that improve website functionality, such as appointment schedulers, image sliders, and SEO tools.

High-Quality Customer Support

Premium themes generally offer dedicated support from the theme developers. This can be a major advantage if you run into technical issues or need guidance.

Regular Updates and Security

To keep up with WordPress updates and ensure security, premium themes typically receive frequent updates, safeguarding your site against potential vulnerabilities.

Advantages of a Free Electrician WordPress Theme

Cost Savings

Free themes are a good choice if you're on a tight budget or just starting out. With no upfront cost, you can have a basic website up and running quickly.

Simplicity and Lightweight Features

Free themes are often streamlined, with fewer features, which can make them simpler to set up and maintain, especially if you're not very tech-savvy.

Good for Beginners or Basic Websites

If you’re looking for a simple site without the need for complex functionalities, a free theme might just do the trick.

Drawbacks of Free Electrician Themes

Limited Customization Options

Most free themes offer limited options when it comes to customization, which can restrict your branding opportunities.

Less Frequent Updates

While some free themes are updated regularly, others might lag behind, which can make your site vulnerable to security issues.

Limited or No Support

Free themes usually come without customer support, so if you encounter issues, you’ll be relying on community forums or your own troubleshooting skills.

Design and Customization Comparison

Premium themes generally offer a polished, high-quality design with more advanced customization options, while free themes are more basic. If a professional, branded appearance is a priority, a premium theme is often worth considering.

SEO Features and Benefits

SEO is crucial for visibility on search engines. Premium themes tend to be optimized for SEO, with built-in features like clean code and fast load times. While some free themes are SEO-friendly, they may lack these advanced optimizations.

Loading Speed and Performance

Premium themes often include performance optimization features that improve site speed. Free themes are typically more lightweight, which can benefit performance but might lack certain speed-boosting tools available in premium options.

Security and Regular Updates

Security is critical, especially for business sites. Premium themes are more likely to include robust security measures and frequent updates. Free themes can sometimes lag in updates, which may expose them to potential vulnerabilities.

Compatibility with Plugins

Premium themes are usually tested for compatibility with a wide range of plugins, ensuring you can add new functionalities without issues. Free themes may have limitations or incompatibilities with certain plugins.

Customer Support and Documentation

With premium themes, you get access to dedicated support and detailed documentation, which can be incredibly helpful if you’re not experienced in website development. Free themes, however, often lack this level of assistance.

Which Option is Better for Small Electrician Businesses?

If you’re running a small electrician business with basic website needs, a free theme might be sufficient. However, if you aim to grow your brand, increase credibility, and provide a smooth user experience, investing in a premium theme can be a wise decision.

Case Studies and Real-Life Examples

For example, an electrician who uses a premium theme may enjoy an easier setup process for booking and scheduling features. On the other hand, a new electrician just starting out might find a free theme more budget-friendly and manageable.

Budget Considerations

Think of a premium theme as an investment. If you’re serious about growing your business, a premium theme offers long-term benefits that can justify the cost. Free themes are ideal for testing the waters but may require upgrades down the line.

Conclusion

In the debate between premium and free WordPress themes for electricians, both options have merits. Free themes provide a simple, budget-friendly solution for basic websites, while premium themes offer customization, support, and features that can enhance your brand’s online presence. Assess your business needs and budget to choose the best fit.

FAQs

Do free WordPress themes perform well for SEO?

Yes, some free themes are optimized for SEO, but premium themes often come with advanced SEO features that can give you an edge.

Can I switch from a free to a premium theme later?

Absolutely. You can start with a free theme and upgrade to a premium one when your budget allows.

Are premium themes worth it for a small business website?

For many small businesses, the added features, security, and support of a premium theme can justify the cost.

How often should I update my WordPress theme?

Regular updates are essential for security and performance. Premium themes usually receive more frequent updates than free ones.

What are some top electrician WordPress themes?

Willoughby Smith

In 1873 English electrical engineer Willoughby Smith discovered that the electrical resistance of selenium varies dramatically with the amount of light falling on it. The photoconductivity of selenium eventually provided a method for converting images into electrical signals—the basis for photoelectric cells and a theoretical basis for television.
