    Thank you for taking the time to watch my video - attention is valuable so it means a lot. Please subscribe for more brief glances into my life. :)
    My name is Mitch Williams and I'm a twenty-three year-old Computer Engineering Graduate living in South Africa. I am really passionate about learning, technology, reading and business. These videos are a way of remembering my life and to possibly help out some other future young people get a sense of what they're in for at varsity and in the real-world.

    Hey Mitch congratulations on completing your degree and I absolutely can't wait for your post-varsity work related computer engineering videos, I'm going into my 2nd year of computer engineering and I just have a few question to ask, if you had to do your degree again what would you differently and how would you manage your overall time and work load better as you progress in the later years of your degree, how did you handle the pressure that comes with engineering week, how did you manage to study effectively and how did manage not understanding certain complex concepts immediately and how did you keep yourself motivated when you had to repeat certain modules. You can make a short video about it because I know if these are not in place you can easily quit engineering school. I know it will help many more upcoming engineering students. Thank you in advance.

    If I were in a position to influence policy on how to grade exams I would suggest giving method marks a high priority. The true test of assessing a student's ability to answer a question is how well he or she can present a series of well reasoned mathematical method steps that lead to the correct conclusion; the precise numerical answer is of lesser importance since even someone who has never attended varsity could accurately complete the arithmetic of plugging numbers into the formulae at a later time. Also I remember when you were deciding whether you should stretch out your studies to 5 years. At the time you were leaning toward adhering to the original 4 year plan. Had you known then that only 20% of students succeed in such a short time it would have been easier to make the decision to take the extra year to finish. Please take care on your trip Mitch, this has been the mildest Winter we've had here in the nation's capital since 1949; to date we've had no measurable snow at all but in the past February has produced some of our heaviest snowfalls measuring over 2 feet and capable of snarling air traffic up and down the East Coast. If long range forecasts are accurate that won't happen this Winter.

    Hi Mitch, In Computer Engineering at Tuks, what is a good GPA Score. Is 70% good, is there people with 80% overall, is that a herculean task in UP. to get some idea of what is a good score. I guess the GPA Score matters when we aim to do an overseas master's program.
