Martijn Bouman that should be common sense, I believe lectures are just for reinforcement, confirmation and insight from professionals (PhD teachers). No class I’ve been in past freshman year has been lecture dependent, but they are certainly helpful to attend
@@huey1153 That is true. The thing I've heard more often is the general phrase 'If you put in an X amount of effort, you are guaranteed a good mark'. It sounds nice, but by contrapositive, what is being said is 'If you fail, it is all your fault since you didn't put in the effort'. In reality, different people need to put in different effort.
@J Thorsson Look, I understand how internet arguments can be and I know neither of us are going to come out of this convinced of the other's point of view, so I won't even try. However, I will clarify a few points for you merely with the objective that perhaps you might reconsider, give some more thought, and hear more diverse opinions (to put it cordially, yours seems to be too strong and passionate for anyone who has been open to different ways of thought other than one's self). 0) This is topic 0 as it will be used to refer to things you said that I do agree with. I agree social sciences can be manipulated, and I am pleased to see you agree STEM isn't completely virtuous as well (In fat, it has been manipulated to pursue certain political goals all across History, and continues to be so). I also agree that degrees related to STEM and philosophy have generally higher IQ averages. This is factual, and there is no point in refuting it. 1) Social sciences can be manipulated, but that doesn't mean they are. They aren't, and if they were, they would likely be manipulated in favor of capitalism (certainly very non-marxist of them), as capitalism is the dominating economic system in America (and the world). I don't understand what would be the point of capitalism to simply let such a "destructive" world view to be massively taught in universities. Certainly it must be because of one of the following: 1) it isn't destructive, 2) it isn't influential enough, or 3) it is actually useful. 2) Every "retard" does, indeed, need a degree these days, as a degree is essential to get any job and, hence, to not starve to death. Please consider this before saying such a thing. 3) You make it sound like Marxists, and Marx by extension, enjoy spreading ignorance. This could not be further from the truth, but I will not push it onto yourself lest I "indoctrinate" you towards my beliefs. I recommend you studying some History to understand this before saying things you really don't know about. 4) People in social sciences can, in fact, easily understand topic coming right out from STEM, if correctly taught. I am speaking from experience here: I am a physics student with an interest in moving further into mathematics, and I have taught many key concepts of both fields to people coming from psychology, sociology, linguistics, law, and several other humanities courses. Many people coming from those fields are interested in these topics, believe it or not, and in fact the most successful people coming from said fields do understand a large portion of them. The only reason why it is harder for them to understand them at a mathematical level is because mathematics is a whole new language in itself. Saying they inherently can't understand STEM is the same as if they used Latin and said people coming from STEM don't understand what they're saying. It is preposterous. 5) Universities are not "filled to the brim" with Marxists. they are in fact, filled with centrists fully supporting liberalism. I wouldn't consider mild progressiveness, such as supporting LGBT rights, Marxism. Mostly because Marx himself cared little for those matters, and because those matters care little with what Marx had to say. You are confusing topics here. Marx was economist, not a gay rights activist. Marxists are economists, not gay rights activists. 6) While it is true people from STEM have higher IQs, it is also true that IQ is worthy of a hefty load of criticism. Mainly, one's IQ measures one's ability to make rapid mental calculations, such as rapidly saying that 2*10=1024. People with a high IQ can do that, but I don't see why this ability makes one more apt to... Well, to do anything else other than that to be honest. Not only is it not that useful for anything outside of mathematics, it is also something that evolves over time, depending on one's activities. What I'm saying here is that people from STEM have a more mathematical reasoning because they are in STEM, not the other way around. (and notice how I said they have a more mathematical reasoning; I did not say they are more intelligent. This is because intelligence is about more than having a mathematical reasoning (one of the many valid criticisms made toward IQ tests), it is about emotional intelligence as well, something which is known to be quite low in STEM. Intelligence also has a great deal to do with creativity, which is highly predominant in both the STEM and the humanities community). I hope this was enough for you to reconsider (after all, the constant questioning of one's deeply held beliefs is one of the cornerstones of science, something someone who holds science to such high regard as yourself should be aware of), though I don't expect it. I feel like it would be appropriate to say that my arguments come from experience (again, something a scientist should clearly admire). I am, myself, a physics undergrad with an interest in further pursuing mathematics, philosophy, psychology and sociology. I am a proponent of leftist ideologies, and I speak every day with people from the left, the right, the center, and the extremes of both. I speak every day with people from STEM and from humanities. And I have done my research. I speak from experience. With what you are saying, frankly it sounds like you don't. I hope next time you speak about these topics, you do so from experience as well.

This is an old video, but as a Biology grad student I want to remind you other STEM majors that the humanities are actually very important. A world of only STEM would be a dark, bleak, unappealing place. Branch out, enjoy your time with things like philosophy, history, English, and art. Trust me, you’ll miss having these chances at learning something new that you might not be exposed to otherwise. And also remember that your field of STEM is infinitely worse than mine simply because we have an infinite amount of beetles to name whatever we want.

Hi Andrew, as a first year physics student starting this September, I'm very decided between all of the areas of physics. You have nanophysics, medical physics, computational physics and so on. I can't find a real clear explanation of each online, and don't know what I will choose since I don't want to take general physics. Can you make an episode where you interview physics students from each major?
One of my personal favorite professors graded the online homework on a logarithmic curve with the horizontal asymptote at 105%. Like it's realistically not that complicated but that combined with a couple other quirks in the syllabus (I think your worst exam could be weighted less, 10% on midterms, 5% on finals depending on the best grade boost, and the homework would take up the rest) made it pretty entertaining to meme on for being so extra, especially when it was being explained orally and all the quirks were in roughly the same paragraph
As a Behavioural Econ major, I am embarrassed to admit how accurate your portrayal of that "art appreciation" professor was. First day of "programming for Social Science" class: "This class doesn't have any homework, exams. If you have any questions about the in class assignments (90% of our grade), just raise your hand and one of the TAs will come over to help you. Also, feel free to consult classmates"

that should be common sense, I believe lectures are just for reinforcement, confirmation and insight from professionals (PhD teachers). No class I’ve been in past freshman year has been lecture dependent, but they are certainly helpful to attend
@@huey1153 That is true. The thing I've heard more often is the general phrase 'If you put in an X amount of effort, you are guaranteed a good mark'. It sounds nice, but by contrapositive, what is being said is 'If you fail, it is all your fault since you didn't put in the effort'. In reality, different people need to put in different effort.
Martijn Bouman Work smarter not harder. More effort isn’t always better and their are generally better ways to learn
Loved it . Always knew physics majors had a special place for good humour. Keep making such videos.
"Im actually here to talk about God *proceeds to show electrodynamics text* "
Yup that is now your god for the semester, welcome to STEM.
"this course is obviously an integral part of any degree"
This was every social science/humanities class I took. Spot on.
Facts😂
That's because before being scientist, we're humans and social being.
@@anattasunnata3498 cool but you learn that irl, outside of class
@J Thorsson Someone clearly doesn't understand what Social Sciences, Humanities or Marxism actually are.
@J Thorsson Look, I understand how internet arguments can be and I know neither of us are going to come out of this convinced of the other's point of view, so I won't even try. However, I will clarify a few points for you merely with the objective that perhaps you might reconsider, give some more thought, and hear more diverse opinions (to put it cordially, yours seems to be too strong and passionate for anyone who has been open to different ways of thought other than one's self).
0) This is topic 0 as it will be used to refer to things you said that I do agree with. I agree social sciences can be manipulated, and I am pleased to see you agree STEM isn't completely virtuous as well (In fat, it has been manipulated to pursue certain political goals all across History, and continues to be so). I also agree that degrees related to STEM and philosophy have generally higher IQ averages. This is factual, and there is no point in refuting it.
1) Social sciences can be manipulated, but that doesn't mean they are. They aren't, and if they were, they would likely be manipulated in favor of capitalism (certainly very non-marxist of them), as capitalism is the dominating economic system in America (and the world). I don't understand what would be the point of capitalism to simply let such a "destructive" world view to be massively taught in universities. Certainly it must be because of one of the following: 1) it isn't destructive, 2) it isn't influential enough, or 3) it is actually useful.
2) Every "retard" does, indeed, need a degree these days, as a degree is essential to get any job and, hence, to not starve to death. Please consider this before saying such a thing.
3) You make it sound like Marxists, and Marx by extension, enjoy spreading ignorance. This could not be further from the truth, but I will not push it onto yourself lest I "indoctrinate" you towards my beliefs. I recommend you studying some History to understand this before saying things you really don't know about.
4) People in social sciences can, in fact, easily understand topic coming right out from STEM, if correctly taught. I am speaking from experience here: I am a physics student with an interest in moving further into mathematics, and I have taught many key concepts of both fields to people coming from psychology, sociology, linguistics, law, and several other humanities courses. Many people coming from those fields are interested in these topics, believe it or not, and in fact the most successful people coming from said fields do understand a large portion of them. The only reason why it is harder for them to understand them at a mathematical level is because mathematics is a whole new language in itself. Saying they inherently can't understand STEM is the same as if they used Latin and said people coming from STEM don't understand what they're saying. It is preposterous.
5) Universities are not "filled to the brim" with Marxists. they are in fact, filled with centrists fully supporting liberalism. I wouldn't consider mild progressiveness, such as supporting LGBT rights, Marxism. Mostly because Marx himself cared little for those matters, and because those matters care little with what Marx had to say. You are confusing topics here. Marx was economist, not a gay rights activist. Marxists are economists, not gay rights activists.
6) While it is true people from STEM have higher IQs, it is also true that IQ is worthy of a hefty load of criticism. Mainly, one's IQ measures one's ability to make rapid mental calculations, such as rapidly saying that 2*10=1024. People with a high IQ can do that, but I don't see why this ability makes one more apt to... Well, to do anything else other than that to be honest. Not only is it not that useful for anything outside of mathematics, it is also something that evolves over time, depending on one's activities. What I'm saying here is that people from STEM have a more mathematical reasoning because they are in STEM, not the other way around. (and notice how I said they have a more mathematical reasoning; I did not say they are more intelligent. This is because intelligence is about more than having a mathematical reasoning (one of the many valid criticisms made toward IQ tests), it is about emotional intelligence as well, something which is known to be quite low in STEM. Intelligence also has a great deal to do with creativity, which is highly predominant in both the STEM and the humanities community).
I hope this was enough for you to reconsider (after all, the constant questioning of one's deeply held beliefs is one of the cornerstones of science, something someone who holds science to such high regard as yourself should be aware of), though I don't expect it. I feel like it would be appropriate to say that my arguments come from experience (again, something a scientist should clearly admire). I am, myself, a physics undergrad with an interest in further pursuing mathematics, philosophy, psychology and sociology. I am a proponent of leftist ideologies, and I speak every day with people from the left, the right, the center, and the extremes of both. I speak every day with people from STEM and from humanities. And I have done my research. I speak from experience. With what you are saying, frankly it sounds like you don't. I hope next time you speak about these topics, you do so from experience as well.
Graduated in 2018 and I’m glad I’m in the industry now. Thinking about starting another semester just stresses the hell out of me
394? Made me think of Snape's lecture on werewolves, hahah.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers from Brazil!
Same!
You mean, the prof was substituting the real prof, prof Vector?
I'm just a lowly CS major but I gotta take a 3 part physics course. Your vids are freaking terrifying me. Especially because my I'm in part 1 rn and my professor is difficult to learn from. I'm slowly starting to find the humor in it though. Good luck in your studies man, we need people like you.
The low div physics series isn't that bad.
You should seriously consider touring around the country doing stand-up shows for physics students hahaha your videos are just sooo funny!
"I'm happily married with a little party of two on the way, I climbed Mount Everest in a bathing suit, and I'm jsut a fundamentally happy person. Plot twist, those were all lies."
as a physics major junior whose next semester starts this monday, this hit closer to home than I thought it would!
"Hello my name is professor Yenz, you may call me professor Yenz" sounds about right
EDIT: those 7 dislikes are definitely from the engineering majors
Anon Nomous nah our classes are exactly like this too lol
*Jens
That is Jen's just being himself...Papa Flammy
3:21 lol it's the first day of undergrad physics and he writes Gauss's Law on the board in a lesson about vectors
Everybody Gangsta till they start talking about the noncommutativity of Matrix Multiplication
I can multiply them like a boss. I am the Chuck Norris of matrix multiplication! If they don't commute, I'll make them commute. If they are of wrong size, I'll roundhouse kick them to the correct dimensions.
I’m doing matrices in a-level maths right now. Are they actually useful for physics?
Apollo I'd kill to get a question that doesn't involve matrices or fucking Phoenician alphabet
@@apollo6326 Late but better than never. Yes, they are useful, they usually show up as tensors (of degree 2) when appeared in physics. Some topics they appear in are:
Classical Mechanics: Moment of Inertia tensor
E&M: multipole expansion -> quadrupole
Continuum Mechanics: stress tensor
@@apollo6326 they also represent operators in quantum mechanics, which is how you do anything with quantum
I've never been happy to see a sponsor before or sat through them but I'm happy that you're getting this. Make us proud tensor boi.
1:19 ahh Griffiths E&M is the Physics Bible.
Just when I was getting really invested in that call... an ad. Happens every time!
"Plot twist, those were all lies, but let's get started."
*oof*
Im a senior now and a lot of this was pretty accurate haha
Starting my first day of physics undergrad tomorrow. Nervous af but excited af also 😁
I did Elec. Engineering 25 years ago, and I remember it was about week 3 that you could really see the fear in the eyes of most of my classmates. Including me.
First year was _hard._ Second year was _harder_ ... and by 3rd year, if you survived that long, you were too mentally exhausted to even feel the fear anymore.
I don't consider myself a graduate so much as a _survivor._ We really earned our Bachelor Degrees in Engineering.
"too mentally exhausted to even feel fear anymore" that's where I'm at with my comp sci degree
This comment more than literally every else in my life has scared me the most about the degree i have chosen (astronautical engineering), and applications are in 2 weeks
@@thedyslexicdemon9307 - the trick is to make good friends and then form a study group where you mutually support each other. (But don't waste your time with people who expect help, yet won't pull their own weight as well.)
Some people are smart enough to get through the degree all on their own, but most of us (like me) needed our peers to help us through the toughest times.
It was worth it in the end! 😊👍
My friends in EE give off that vibe lol,
“Does anyone need any accommodations?”
*raises hand*
“Why? Whats wrong?”
Thank you for always helping me in my undergraduate studies. Bless you ❤
Series of unfortunate events reference 🤣 lol also accurately describes undergrad physics
I actually make use of the Great Courses plus for Accounting courses and honestly, it's great! The Professors are 👌🏽👌🏽
This is exactly how my first day as an undergrad went.
And I'm not even taking Physics as my major...
Absolutely did not realize that was the transition to the sponsored part
A+ video, Andrew. Get that sponsorship bread
I did, in fact, not notice the transition to the sponsored bit. Well done
This is an old video, but as a Biology grad student I want to remind you other STEM majors that the humanities are actually very important. A world of only STEM would be a dark, bleak, unappealing place. Branch out, enjoy your time with things like philosophy, history, English, and art. Trust me, you’ll miss having these chances at learning something new that you might not be exposed to otherwise.
And also remember that your field of STEM is infinitely worse than mine simply because we have an infinite amount of beetles to name whatever we want.
I’m a ME undergrad and literally the first 7 courses I took ALL started with the same vectors chapter
About to be me in a few days as a physics major. Wish me luck!
Same here! Good luck!!
good luck, you got this!
There is no luck where chance is involved. If in one Universe you have no luck, there is another Universe in which you do have luck.
3:14: You know, I was just thinking that we all have professors, and each one teaches (or is unable to teach) in a different way. But I have never heard of anyone saying that their professor was like Snape.
And then suddenly _"Open page 394"_
I liked how the first day of my first upper-div class, the professor is like, "here's the syllabus, it's online and you can all read it at home. Alright, here we go."
I'm in tears right now over the part where you say the dates I the syllabus will change. That was so spot on and perfectly done. Kudos and thanks!! 🤣
I live in the other side of the world but the physics segment was on point! Biggest mistake of my career was getting my first year's books, then I learned the trick 😅
3:21, I recognize some of those things and that makes me sad.
We've been doing electronics in PHY 242, I have no idea what I'm doing
"shoot me an email i'll get back to you in a couple weeks" so true it hurts
Ok, time for a full disclosure. I never ever stay for sponsored content on a video, but your Segway into it was perfect haha.
I try to make it as painless as possible lol
My first college classes start Monday. I'm excited, but my physics ii class meets 7 times a week.... I already felt really weird mixed vibes from my professors
I’m starting my physics undergrad in a month. Really excited. Great video by the way.
I would've straight up left if one of my professors opened class with "Let's do an icebreaker."
Yo the quality of your content is getting so great. A beautiful work good skit , loved the end and the squirt bottle lol
sambulls thanks a lot!
"By the way, this is my seat now" xDDD
First time I saw your channel and your profile photo I didn't like it. Now I get it. Wish you all the best. Love your channel.
Nailed it on the head. Year 1: okay we are going to spend an hour on the Syllabus
Year 2: You should have read the syllabus, any questions no allllllrighty then first lecture
mah boi. You've inspired me. Going into senior year of physics. Taking E&M this year. Going to be making video solutions for as many griffiths E&M problems as I can to help out the future physics undergrads. I know there's written solutions easily available but even I get lost in those. So I know it'll be helpful to have fully explained math etc. Hopefully I don't become a meme like you.
Hi Andrew, as a first year physics student starting this September, I'm very decided between all of the areas of physics. You have nanophysics, medical physics, computational physics and so on. I can't find a real clear explanation of each online, and don't know what I will choose since I don't want to take general physics. Can you make an episode where you interview physics students from each major?
I'm a physics freshman starting this Monday, and thanks for giving me something to laugh at and calm my nerves since ngl I'm hella nervous
As an incomin freshman I love this video 😂 “art 107” 😂👌🏻
Going into my 3rd year of physics now.. it's not a joke! You only refer to classes by number because everyone you talk to knows what you mean
Great video!! The 394 part got me so good!!
One month until I start college. Let's see how I'm gonna look like
3:33 LOL this describes them perfectly. Thank you for putting my thoughts to words
"A lecture with 100 people"
Laughs in 30 people at 1st year
Lucky bastard lol
Are you in Italy? Which Uni?
@@someoneuppingdudetechnical6320 Palermo
laughs in 20 students MAX because of cc
One of my personal favorite professors graded the online homework on a logarithmic curve with the horizontal asymptote at 105%. Like it's realistically not that complicated but that combined with a couple other quirks in the syllabus (I think your worst exam could be weighted less, 10% on midterms, 5% on finals depending on the best grade boost, and the homework would take up the rest) made it pretty entertaining to meme on for being so extra, especially when it was being explained orally and all the quirks were in roughly the same paragraph
As a Behavioural Econ major, I am embarrassed to admit how accurate your portrayal of that "art appreciation" professor was.
First day of "programming for Social Science" class: "This class doesn't have any homework, exams. If you have any questions about the in class assignments (90% of our grade), just raise your hand and one of the TAs will come over to help you. Also, feel free to consult classmates"
I thought this was going to be the same video you did awhile back but this was just glorious and stupid funny
Everybody be flexing til midterm grades comeback.
Thanks for helping us all feel slightly more okay while we trudge through this hard ass major.
HAHAHA I wanna talk to you about god. I love that griffiths EM book!
These make me miss college so much. Best time of my life.
Page 394 sounds familiar,..*ravenclaw abilities intensifies*
Omg buddy you did the right thing not getting the PhD and doing these videos. I can see you're having fun and I'm having fun watching these too
first year Physics 1
prof: *using examples with his adorable cats*
second year Quantum Physics intro:
same prof: *Average Course Grade: D*
Better than my econ teacher. Only about 45% passed. 2 in his entire career got an -A. No one got an A.
@@jfarrar19 damn, that's rough. but physics in my school isn't the worst in terms of grades, I heard something like 22% average, not sure if it's midterm, final, or course average tho lol, it's computer science
@@Leonlion0305 Yeah, it was rough. I can't complain too much though. I am 50% of one of those stats.
Love that transition. Almost nailed it.
