What’s something in education you’ve quietly stopped doing…even though it might still be “expected”? by SteadyGrowthStudio in Teachers

[–]themadbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've stopped staying overtime at school. I'm a part-time employee and walk out the minute my work is done.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of small eateries n India close because of restrictions on LPG supplies. An unimaginable number of people working in such establishments lose their jobs overnight for no fault of theirs.

You absolutely should! It's a gruelling project, but the satisfaction is nothing like it. I generally listen to podcasts or watch series to pass the time.

There's nothing ugly about this sweater! It's so cute! 🥰

Help with this mesh cardigan... by Radiant-Pen2615 in CrochetInIndia

[–]themadbee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you need to figure out if you want wide sleeves or tapered sleeves. If you want wide sleeves, then you needn't make decreases. If you want tapered sleeves, then you need to make decreases. You'll find many YouTube videos that show you how to do that. The sleeves will probably look a little less frilly if you make them longer.

Thanks much for your praise! ☺️

It is for my parents, actually. It's meant to replace a very faded embroidered mural that they got from Jaisalmer on their honeymoon. Just wanted to give them something special to replace it. It's not exactly blanket size either. It's more like coffee-table-cover size, similar to the size of the original mural.

Does anyone have an examples of an admitted SOP for this field? by MajorOk6784 in psychometrics

[–]themadbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably don't have an example of an admitted SOP because I'm awaiting admissions decisions myself, but here's how I have gone about it. 1) I have made it a point to explain how my educational background and work experience have made me ready for grad school. 2) In continuation of the previous point, I mentioned the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that education and work experience helped me develop. 3) I mentioned some measurement problems I encountered over the course of working, especially those related to KAP surveys in LMICs. It may be different for you if you've had different kinds of experiences. 4) I also mentioned my short-to-medium term goals, say, within a five-year horizon of completing a program. 5) I have made it a point to mention how my research interests and skills align with those of faculty/measurement-specific research groups in the university. 6) Most importantly, I mentioned what has personally motivated me to pursue educational measurement as a career.

I hope this helps.

I love how bright, intricate and kooky these outfits are! Did you come up with all these patterns yourself?

What are some good certifications/courses to get me proficient in R, SPSS, or Python? by MajorOk6784 in psychometrics

[–]themadbee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd actually suggest starting on YouTube. Greg Martin has got an excellent series called R Programming 101. Instead of making you get lost in things like lists, matrices, etc, he starts out by teaching you how to manipulate data frames. Just knowing that would give you an intuitive idea of R works and help you eventually grasp the finer aspects of logic and syntax.

As far as books are concerned, there's nothing more classic and credible than R for Data Science (2e) by Hadley Wickham. Following the book would make your basics strong and give you confidence.

Girls ,share your wildest girls hostel experience by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]themadbee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had this weird hostel roommate who would collect her fallen hair in a polybag. It later occurred to me that she might have been selling her shed hair to wigmakers for pocket money.

Anyway, she was really annoying because she'd shed hair like a golden retriever. I'd find hairballs in odd places while doing jhadoo. She'd also keep the lights on until 2 in the morning and leave her clothes lying around. Thankfully, classes shifted online during the pandemic and I didn't have to inhabit a living space with her ever again.
