I watched some of your videos form the past few years and I can’t tell you how inspiring they are. I have struggled with dyslexia and dyscalculia my whole life and want to be a mechanical engineer! I have a dream to get a masters and one day a PHD. I am now a freshman in college in California and am just getting started on my math intensive journey. How did your undergraduate/masters go in the area of math and would you happen to have any advice? Thank you, and good luck on your PHD journey!
Hi, I have just seen this comment - apologise for the late reply. Thank you for the comments. In term of maths, I was OK with it. I usually went to maths café to ask questions or asked the lecturers during the office hours. I also watched different maths videos on youtube if I could not get help any other ways. Some youtubers actually posted the way how to solve problems in simpler way in comparison to the lecturer's way. Before exams, I usually went through the past papers and memorise the equations minimum 4 days before the exam date. I required longer time to memorise them. It is easier for me to memorise maths or graphs because it is not words … The way I memorise maths is by writing it down by hands intensively and repeat it over and over, and I give myself time to do it - so it is not a last-minute learning. But for memorising words, I usually type it over and over, I choose a specific font too, so it is easier for me to read it. Other than that, I only choose modules that I enjoy. For example, in my master’s degree, I decided to take classes for "fluid structure interaction" and "design and computational fluid dynamic using Ansys software” modules in comparison to "engineering management" module. However, during undergraduate degree, I choose to go to material classes because it often has graphs that I can memorise during exams, and they used pictures to show how some materials change overtime and I had to attend laboratory classes which I enjoyed. My advice: Try to experiment different ways to figure out how you learn. I understood how I learnt when I was in the 2nd year. I failed a few modules in foundation year and first year but after 2nd year I never failed any modules because I understood how I learn and what I enjoyed the most. Example on how I keep my notes: I used tablet with pen to write notes on one notes during classes so I have everything digitally, I can memorise faster if I know it is my handwriting, this is for maths ! I also have a small laptop that I can use for typing when I have to memorise words. Also, I put comments on some pdf files (in Mendeley and highlighted them) or you can use PdF annotation. I hope it helps! Thank you again for a nice comment! Really appreciate it!
@@OmniRobotix Thank you so much for all the great advice and information! I will definitely apply many of your strategies over the next few months and years to see what works best for me. Thank you again for the all the detail and examples, I really appreciate it.
Hi @Random_How-tos .. I appreciated for your positive comments and definitely it is a video idea. I finally had time to create the video on how I study. Thank you again for the brilliant idea ! Here is the link of the video of how I study if you are interested and hopefully it helps. th-cam.com/video/2HAvrIsT6FE/w-d-xo.html All the best !
