@@appleslover especially if it's like here in the UK. Most universities give you the syllabus and/or lecture notes. Anything that's not clearly marked unnexamanable could be on the test. The whole point of exams is that they can't cover everything, but you have to learn everything BECAUSE you don't know what's on the test. If you keep asking if something's on the test either 1) you can't be arsed to read the syllabus or lecture notes, and so are disrupting everyone else or 2) you're trying to find out exactly what's on the test, which ruins the point and is practically (very open) cheating.

And possibly watches anime as well ?

I once saved a final essay for my college history class until the night before and I was nearly failing that class already. Was fun watching the sunrise that morning...
@@fromfareast3070 I submitted an assignment 10 minutes before the deadline, and I kept thinking to myself, "Am I sure there isn't anything else I want to add? I still have plenty of time."
I am the procrastinator, the group leader and the one that asks too many questions. You should also add other types of engineering students such as - The one who reminds the professor when the homework or the project is due. - The one who is always suggesting difficult assignments, exams and/or projects. - The one who does a crazy good project that blows all others out of the water. - The one who is always cheating in exams, doing nothing on group projects and copying homework answers. - The one who always comes late to class. - The one who is always correcting the professor. - The one who is always sleeping in class. - The one always asking questions outside the scope of the class or beyond the scope of the topic. - The one always asking for extra credit and the one always against extra credit. These are some that I can think of. There are many more.
I had a friend that often came late to class. One day, he didn't show up. After the lecture was over, he went to the professor's office to ask if he had the attendance list, so he could sign. The professor was not even mad, he let him out of pure shock.
IT, not engineering, but we got an "asking questions outside the scope" but always (thinking he) knows the answer so just asking to check if the professor does too. I hope y'all in engineering get to dodge this bullet.
I remember once in a physics I exam. If a student had a question, he would go to the front were the professor is sitting(he doesn't answer the question publicly, just to the person who's asking unless there is a typo or something like that). I was near the professor at the time. So there was this projectile motion question about where the normal and tangential acceleration meets some requirement. Anyway, one guy goes and ask the professor and I could hear him , so... In this exercise, we should take into account air Resistance right? The prof look at him... And says... No. While the guy was leaving the teacher stared at him with a face of.. well, one less.

3:11 I had two of those in my five man project team... And I was stuck being the leader. Probably every engineering capstone project team ever: One guy for programming. One guy that can actually build (and machine, if you're lucky like me). One guy that's stuck with all the paperwork. One or more slackers, so that the other guys can rip more hair out to do their tasks too. If you're lucky, you can get them to bring coffee before they leave. You'll need it.
Iam a blend of procrastinator and should not have made it this far. Though I prefer the term thrill seeker, getting the job done with seconds to spare!
I remember one group report we did where in the feedback all the critiques the lecturer gave in the feedback were about the parts the other people in the group wrote, and the section for which she wrote "this bit is actually pretty good, well detailed" is the section I wrote. I was staring at the grade we got thinking so you're telling me if I did this myself I'd have got like a 15% higher grade... Great...
In one of my programming groups in college there was one member that didn’t know how to do test cases, not even how to set one up. That was probably the worst case of “don’t know how they got this far”.
Me: Either at the last or the first bench. Never in the middle. Master procrastinator. Lowest attendance. Always last in submissions. Mostly after the deadlines. Good with basics but never completely studied any subject. I sucked in university days.
3:26 This applies to everything. When I was at my 2 year college I couldn't continue with my role in the group project until the "writer" in my group would make the essay that I was supposed to edit and grammar check. He literally started typing it the morning he arrived in class on the day it was due.
I think it is most noticeable when the engineers take elective courses outside of engineering. Also, architecture students are pretty odd, but they don’t get electives lol.
I don't like assignments hanging over me so I can't be a procrastinator with schoolwork. This first week back to school though, I had multiple math assignments due in just one week (there will be one other week similar to this but usually, we will have two weeks for three assignments). I had been steadily working for four to five hours every day after work, but come Friday, I knew I needed to shift it into overgear. I told myself I absolutely WILL have at least one day off for the weekend. And so...I crunched. Friday, I got up shortly before 8 for work (I work from home most days of the week). With no lunchtime nap as I usually will take, I instantly slid my desk chair over at 5PM and opened my personal laptop to continue my math. As it's my weakest subject by a long shot (it was PRE-Algebra! Pre!), I knew it would take me some time. As the textbook is digital and I cannot refer to the book when in the middle of the end of chapter certification, I spent a lot of time writing down various algebraic rules and whatnot. Worked 5PM to 6AM Saturday morning with only an hour break, so was up and physically doing something for 22 hours straight. Went to bed and slept until about 11, worked again until 2PM, but the exhaustion hit me and I needed more sleep. Slept again until 8:30PM, started dinner (thank you, Crockpots!), and worked until again, 6AM Sunday morning. And at last...I had finished. The work was due by that midnight but I REFUSED to lose my entire weekend. I need my weekends, damnit 😅. I'm super proud of myself, even though I felt feverish after that many hours of work, but it was worth it. Now I can work on pulling ahead since I have two weeks for my next three lessons. I'm going to try to knock out four in that amount of time. My next lesson is rather short, so that's a perfect starting point to get ahead. I never want to crunch like that again.
As someone who likes to always sit in front of the class. It helps me a lot to understand the lesson, keep me focus in the class, and push me to pay attention, even if the class (or the professor) is so boring, or if i am going to sleep in any moment. Conclusion: sit in front of the class = no regrets :^)
Great video! If you do a part two... - The bright student who asks questions the teacher can't answer - The student who is always asking others to help with their assignments - The lazy student who cruises through the course and then panics at exam time - That one student which everyone always wants to compare answers with - The student which always forgets to do his homework - The student that does just enough to pass
When I was much younger I would do this, I was a restless kid and hated sitting in a chair for long periods of time so my elementary school teachers would let me stand in the back.
Last one is NUTS!!!! "Whole morning to work thru" you could even feel the fear when he asked about midnight, he probably doesnt even know what he has to do and think with no basis he have enough time. How people can go their entire lives like this is wild, and that was literally me!!!

Y’all scaring tf outta me with this engineering stuff. I’m about to be a first year Civil Engineering major. Any advice? I’m not that great in science.💯
I used to record lectures in the first classes. After 1st semester I knew that was a waste of time. The real thing was in the text books haha I mean not always
Dude i cant believe it, i used to be there back when you didn't show your face. Can't believe you've reached this far, great work brother keep it up and godspeed
Where's the engineer that's too involved and social for their own good and has endless amounts of imposter syndrome to accompany their fragmented self image. Asking for a friend
Man, that triple entrance was well done! How did you do it!? So accurate, by the way... Pretty much everything happened between the few students in my class!
Set up the camera on a tripod so it's totally still, and walk in the door until I go off screen three different times with those 3 different outfits. Then put the 3 takes on top of each other in premier pro and after the first person walks in and gets to the right half of the screen, immediately crop out the left side of the screen and swap in the second person walking in (so now the first person is on the right while the second person is on the left at the same time). Then once that first person leaves the screen you cut that 1st clip out completely, transition the crop so the it follows the second person to the right side of the screen, and then repeat that all with the third. The hardest part was the shadow on the door, look closely and you can see it's not perfected. But at first it was really noticeable so I had to do a fade between clips.
I was guilty of a lot of that arrogance when I was working on my Engineering degree 35 years ago. Some of it makes me cringe when I look back, such as purposely going 10 minutes late to Heat Transfer class whenever we had a quiz, finishing 1st and then going out of the class for a drink of water. Used to hear a lot of FU's, but I averaged 40-hrs per week at the books and it paid off.
I think a lot of people I know are the procrastinator. You also missed the “organizer” which is basically the person who has just a strong grasp of how the administration works and has his/her team of 20+ students email the professor or boss(Es) of the Professor when their is an issue with the grading or teaching style. Works wonders.

I'm the barely-passes guy *Midterm next week, last lecture of the week* "Ok class today we'll be covering Nyquist- yes Anon" "Will that be covered in the midterm next week" "No but-" "Aight imma head out"
Group projects were hell! There is always the slacker and the overachiever. Once I had an overachiever who should not have made it that far. I’m trying to fit my part of the circuit into his that he had done in like 30 minutes and his didn’t even work, like you could just look at it and be like “dude did you just accidentally solder every transistor in the box together and just find two pins to stick in a breadboard?” The worst parts were the class was about op amps, in fact I think the class was called “op amps” and he didn’t have any, just a wad of transistors and resistors. I ended up just doing the whole damn thing. It was a stupid simple lab too like a temperature gauge and alarm that would kick on some other piece of equipment.
@@cole1 Do you know what a resistor is? If you know what it is you know there is no such thing as a "backward" resistor. If electricity were like water and wire pipes, a resistor is simply like a constriction being put in the pipe.
I was the procrastinator, but in my defense, homework gave me a lot of anxiety. I could literally start the homework early in the morning and end up doing most of the work past midnight, and finish it early the next day after waking up.
I am literally the procrastinator that doesn’t know how he did it this far and thus being arrogant for getting the best mark by only revising the night before...

As it's my weakest subject by a long shot (it was PRE-Algebra! Pre!), I knew it would take me some time. As the textbook is digital and I cannot refer to the book when in the middle of the end of chapter certification, I spent a lot of time writing down various algebraic rules and whatnot.
Worked 5PM to 6AM Saturday morning with only an hour break, so was up and physically doing something for 22 hours straight. Went to bed and slept until about 11, worked again until 2PM, but the exhaustion hit me and I needed more sleep. Slept again until 8:30PM, started dinner (thank you, Crockpots!), and worked until again, 6AM Sunday morning. And at last...I had finished. The work was due by that midnight but I REFUSED to lose my entire weekend. I need my weekends, damnit 😅. I'm super proud of myself, even though I felt feverish after that many hours of work, but it was worth it. Now I can work on pulling ahead since I have two weeks for my next three lessons. I'm going to try to knock out four in that amount of time. My next lesson is rather short, so that's a perfect starting point to get ahead. I never want to crunch like that again.
As someone who likes to always sit in front of the class. It helps me a lot to understand the lesson, keep me focus in the class, and push me to pay attention, even if the class (or the professor) is so boring, or if i am going to sleep in any moment. Conclusion: sit in front of the class = no regrets :^)
I can particularly remember someone asking the "backward resistor" question.
Great video! If you do a part two...
- The bright student who asks questions the teacher can't answer
- The student who is always asking others to help with their assignments
- The lazy student who cruises through the course and then panics at exam time
- That one student which everyone always wants to compare answers with
- The student which always forgets to do his homework
- The student that does just enough to pass
Very likely will do a part 2 and these are great suggestions!
The procrastinator hit me hard. Decided to do my last 8 programming labs that take around 2-3 hours each and my final for CS 2 days before.
"Even if your homework took a Viagra, my homework will still be harder.." LMAO
3:10 this is me, just started college and I just think to myself how did I even pass school.
I had one guy that was standing no matter what. When we were writing test he put chair on the table
He probably has a condition.
@@skepticmoderate5790 Nah, when professor asked why he's standing he said he just prefer it to sitting
When I was much younger I would do this, I was a restless kid and hated sitting in a chair for long periods of time so my elementary school teachers would let me stand in the back.
Dragonax I mean, if he had a condition he wouldnt really say it in front of everyone. He might have ADHD or something
*Dragonax* Actually not a bad idea because it helps you stay awake and it’s better for your back.
Last one is NUTS!!!! "Whole morning to work thru" you could even feel the fear when he asked about midnight, he probably doesnt even know what he has to do and think with no basis he have enough time. How people can go their entire lives like this is wild, and that was literally me!!!
"even if your homework took a Viagra, mine would still be harder" 0:48 😂😂😂😂
The classic: ring light, tripod, iPhone camera set-up
The stages of engineering students, through the day, through a project, through a quarter
These didn’t start getting recommended to me until I became an engineering major, but already they are all so true to me
1:20, 1:36, and 2:11 are all the same person.
Well, they are all the same type of person anyway.
Nope I'm 1:20 but not the two others xD
And sadly that person is me and I'm not even an engineering major
"What if we put that resistor on, backwards? " was too funny for some reason
3:02 "you're time will come" 👀
1:26 THIS FOOTAGE WILL SHOCK YOU!!!!
@Allan 112358 or maybe he'll go into engineering!
What's crazy is the procrastinator that always does everything on time(but barely) and is some kinda genius who gets straight As and never attends class.
You forgot “the one who got bored and finished the project before everyone else got started.”
Me me me
Lol I completed a 6 week wind turbine project in like 6 hours. Though I had already been studying these machines independently
@@maalikserebryakov I'm considering going back for a dual mechanical/electrical major for obvious reasons (I work with the practical application of the stuff daily).
If I do, this will 100% be me as well, because I nerd out over this shit already.
I love it. Want more of this
2:05 after recording his teacher he ended up finding a carreer in the arts of filim making
3:07 As someone who doesn't know why they've chosen to be in a high school robotics class, I can say this is perfectly me compared to the rest of my classmates
Y’all scaring tf outta me with this engineering stuff. I’m about to be a first year Civil Engineering major. Any advice? I’m not that great in science.💯
Learn to cry. It comes in handy in ur third year.
Learn physics well and mostly by yourself studying it rather than relying on lectures.
I used to record lectures in the first classes. After 1st semester I knew that was a waste of time. The real thing was in the text books haha I mean not always
*It's awesome that you make videos on application of mathematics in the real world also videos for entertainment like this one*
4:17 best ending to a youtube video ever
You are freaking amazing Zach!! Love your videos!! I don't know who you write these jokes, THEY ARE GOLD!!
0:47 I died of laughter!!!
i check many of those boxes and not in a good way...
The music made me feel like I was putting together a crew for a a cliche heist

Dude i cant believe it, i used to be there back when you didn't show your face. Can't believe you've reached this far, great work brother keep it up and godspeed
Thanks man! Yeah it's been a fun ride for sure
As an engineering student this hits me real bad.
Where's the engineer that's too involved and social for their own good and has endless amounts of imposter syndrome to accompany their fragmented self image.
Asking for a friend
Industrial Engineering.
@@kt9aq What's up with industrial engineering?
I'm pretty sure they end up as project managers
'What if we put that resistor on.. but backwards' killed me x3
Man, that triple entrance was well done! How did you do it!?
So accurate, by the way... Pretty much everything happened between the few students in my class!
Set up the camera on a tripod so it's totally still, and walk in the door until I go off screen three different times with those 3 different outfits. Then put the 3 takes on top of each other in premier pro and after the first person walks in and gets to the right half of the screen, immediately crop out the left side of the screen and swap in the second person walking in (so now the first person is on the right while the second person is on the left at the same time). Then once that first person leaves the screen you cut that 1st clip out completely, transition the crop so the it follows the second person to the right side of the screen, and then repeat that all with the third. The hardest part was the shadow on the door, look closely and you can see it's not perfected. But at first it was really noticeable so I had to do a fade between clips.
@@zachstar That's very clever! I've done something similar, but not quite as in depth as that, lol.
The comment of " I still have classes on Friday's" that got me🤣🤣 all the other majors on my campus usually get Friday's off
I was guilty of a lot of that arrogance when I was working on my Engineering degree 35 years ago. Some of it makes me cringe when I look back, such as purposely going 10 minutes late to Heat Transfer class whenever we had a quiz, finishing 1st and then going out of the class for a drink of water. Used to hear a lot of FU's, but I averaged 40-hrs per week at the books and it paid off.
@@JasminUwU , Yeah, if only the rest of our careers went as smoothly; office politics, hidden agenda's, bosses that feel threatened by you, etc...
You see I was an arrogant sack my freshman year of high school and learned the hard way sooner
Showing up late to the exam on purpose, is a major flex.
"Love the energy. Love the focus and one day you're gonna make it " 🤣🤣 I'm going to start using that 🤣😭
This was so accurate. I'd like to see a video of 1st year engineers who think they're the future of technology.
I like that. "I have more work than myself, if we round up." I had to think about it for a second, but it's totally legit, haha.
I think a lot of people I know are the procrastinator.
You also missed the “organizer” which is basically the person who has just a strong grasp of how the administration works and has his/her team of 20+ students email the professor or boss(Es) of the Professor when their is an issue with the grading or teaching style. Works wonders.
"I have more work than myself if we round up" lmfao
3:27
I meet these every
Single
Damn
Semester
Me: "please finish it's due in 3 days and I need to add your part to the report before I finish it"
Group member: "Yeah sure, I'll give you the work as soon as I can"
**sends me his work 2 minutes before the deadline**
The procrastinators apologize. We don't mean to hurt you, we just have no time management skills
@@kimberlyw2591 speak for yourself im the pinnacle of speed when i enter a flow state to complete my 7 hour assignment in 2 hours before a deadline

The Group Project Leader part was so relatable 🤦🏻♂️
I'm the barely-passes guy
*Midterm next week, last lecture of the week*
"Ok class today we'll be covering Nyquist- yes Anon"
"Will that be covered in the midterm next week"
"No but-"
"Aight imma head out"
sameeeee
Group projects were hell! There is always the slacker and the overachiever. Once I had an overachiever who should not have made it that far. I’m trying to fit my part of the circuit into his that he had done in like 30 minutes and his didn’t even work, like you could just look at it and be like “dude did you just accidentally solder every transistor in the box together and just find two pins to stick in a breadboard?” The worst parts were the class was about op amps, in fact I think the class was called “op amps” and he didn’t have any, just a wad of transistors and resistors.
I ended up just doing the whole damn thing. It was a stupid simple lab too like a temperature gauge and alarm that would kick on some other piece of equipment.
2:14 I am that student, damn.
The one that records is a hero. They help the rest of us whome cannot afford college learn more about our passions.
"Oh so what would happen if we put that resistor on, but backwards?"
🤣🤣🤣
what would it actually do?
@@cole1 Do you know what a resistor is? If you know what it is you know there is no such thing as a "backward" resistor. If electricity were like water and wire pipes, a resistor is simply like a constriction being put in the pipe.
@@Anonymous-jo2no Nope, I did not know that! Thanks for answering!
I like your skits bro!! Looking forward to more ))
What happens when we put the resistor backward😂😂😂
I love how you kinda got them all in one for the start
“Remember if you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do”
-procrastinators
I was the procrastinator, but in my defense, homework gave me a lot of anxiety.
I could literally start the homework early in the morning and end up doing most of the work past midnight, and finish it early the next day after waking up.
I am literally the procrastinator that doesn’t know how he did it this far and thus being arrogant for getting the best mark by only revising the night before...
Love the Viagra joke. That’s some real writers room type shit
I’m the one that sits at the front ,considering how short I am it’s fair, and records lecture.
This was fkn gold the front row seat and project lead killed me "Your time will come" LMFAOOO
