Too damn realistic and accurate. The ones in comments talking about exaggeration have no idea what it's really like. They're delusional. An engineering degree is either overstudy or perish.
@@sp123 It's the most fun. The uni I applied for has great professors really nice and fun people who are passionate. They also don't require any attendance after the 1st year. But the money is relatively good. I can do a master's in whatever I want and branch into every single sector. You can probably only do that with electrical engineering but I found it very irritating to study.
You’re absolutely right-engineering is no walk in the park. It’s all about putting in the time and effort, and those who know, truly know.

Missing one course for a week shouldn't be a case for academic withdrawal. I hope people watching don't actually take that advice seriously. You can realistically get back 70% of that material in a weekend and then slowly get back the rest of the material with repetitive work in "spare" time which you can get back.
Depends on course and the amount of material. If you behind one week in a heavy course like Calc 2 or 3, it’s over bro. The mistake I see many of my peers make is taking too much units per semester. They would’ve been better off going part time in college, even if they graduate later. Unfortunately many colleges pressure students to graduate in a 4 year timeframe
@@Opium41462 i mean I think u can realistically still pass, I was behind in my calc 3 course and I still did pass somehow, but I had to lock my self in a room and study up all of the concepts. I also did above average in taking three math classes at the same time all by never attending and cramming 2 days before for each exam. I hated my life but it’s possible. Had severe burnout and just did homework from time time watched movies, slept and studied. I literally had no friends. (Yea mentally I was not in a good place, still working on that :/) So it is possible but u gotta sacrifice something. It def bit me in my back the following semester when I tried doing the same strat with 500 level courses. Yea ur right the units thing is too real. I end up neglecting my gen Ed’s to focus on the classes that actually matter for me. Also like the whole balancing an internship during the school year, etc. it’s crazy sometimes.
Missing a week of a course isn’t a deal-breaker-consistent effort and focused catch-up can realistically get you back on track. Author Jonathan David Thanks so much for being a fan of my work!

M 28 - "Nontraditional Student" here and I thought I had "figured out" myself and I knew how to be better prepared for school.. Oh how wrong I was.... (I am doing alright but there are still key ingredients missing in my recipe) Watching this at 1am while I am trying to gather my thoughts on how to study better for my Cal 2 course... been watching a lot of content that tells me how to learn the material better yet I still feel lost in class more often than not. All of this to say that I remember hearing that you need to be "ahead" of lecture before you go to class - I just never did that and I guess had forgotten that I could take this action. Thank you for the harsh reality you have delivered. Ill be reading through or watching some content on the chapter(s) the prof will be going over the day BEFORE that lecture (maybe I dont understand anything, but at least I am not walking in blind anymore is my thought process.) This may sound obvious for some, but I know somewhere deep down, I made the active decision not listen to this wisdom in the past. May it help many others in their academic journey as well. Tangent: I would be curious to know your perspective on how many courses to take per semester. I all but failed out of Uni my first go around due to not being prepared for it like you stated, I had not acquired the tools required for me to be able to survive learning how to learn.. And I would take full course loads but drop one or two classes until I ran out of drops allowed. This is a big fear for me moving forward back in my academic career. I dont care about graduating "on time" as that ship haa long since pasted, but I would like to push myself to find the limits of how hard I can work. Currently I am taking 1 8 week course at a time until I can make it back to University for an Industrial Engineering major. CHEERS!
Thank you for sharing your journey so openly-it’s inspiring to see your commitment to growth and self-improvement, especially as a nontraditional student! Here’s some feedback and advice on your thoughts and questions: Staying Ahead in Class You’re absolutely right that previewing material before lecture, even if you don’t fully understand it, can transform your experience in class. Walking in with even a basic sense of the material lets you focus on filling gaps rather than trying to absorb everything cold. Over time, this approach not only reduces the feeling of being lost but also builds your confidence. How Many Courses to Take Your strategy of starting with one 8-week course at a time is fantastic-it allows you to rebuild your foundation and confidence. When you return to university, here are some things to consider: Start Light: Take 2-3 courses in your first semester back. Focus on balancing challenging subjects (like Calculus) with lighter courses. This will help you ease into the rhythm of a full schedule. Gauge Your Workload: Once you feel comfortable, gradually increase your load. Maybe start with 12 credits (a full-time load) before considering anything heavier. Quality Over Quantity: It’s more valuable to truly grasp the material in fewer courses than to scrape by in a full load. As you said, graduating “on time” isn’t the goal-mastering the material is. Understand Your Limits: It’s great to push yourself, but burnout is counterproductive. Pay attention to how much you can realistically handle without compromising health or quality of learning. Additional Tips for Success Study in Blocks: Use methods like Pomodoro to study in focused intervals, giving yourself breaks to recharge. Ask for Help: Attend office hours or join study groups to discuss what confuses you-it’s amazing how much clarity comes from collaboration. Reflect on Your Progress: At the end of each week, ask yourself what worked, what didn’t, and how you can adjust. It’s clear you’ve grown so much since your first go at university, and your drive to keep pushing is inspiring. Industrial Engineering is a great field, and with your determination, I have no doubt you’ll thrive. Stay patient with yourself and trust the process-you’re building a strong foundation for success.

You know I cannot deny that this is the reality of being an academic to some degree but I don't think it should be. Not in the sense that I don't think people shouldn't be forced to confront problems and learn from them but in the sense that I feel there is a fine line between this and just not receiving mentorship. Like sure, if you don't know how to swim and someone throws you into a lake and tells you "figure it out" in the case that you survive, you will have learned many things about swimming that someone learning in a more guided way would have taken ages to learn. But the caveat is "if you survive" which in a sense is very reminiscent of how academics is. I suppose in some sense you would want a system like that for the responsibility of the job but it begs the question of how effective is a system like that really when you still have your Francesca Geno's and their papers about "How writing a paper about a stance they disagree with makes them desire cleaning products more." Where I lie on where or not the system being the way it is being correct, I'm not sure. I do know, however, currently, when I get through this process get into grad school and become an academic, I want to contribute to making this process more health for students.
My thoughts on the topic changed drastically over the years. I was just like everybody else until I started tutoring and I still complained about the professors until I started working and I realize that
That’s how my dad taught my brother and I to swim. And how he taught me many things. It is traumatizing for sure but man did it make me tough and resilient compared to the rest of the people in my generation. During that process you may hate it but afterwards you’ll be thankful. Of course if you can survive it.
@@rickeshpatel4025 And you will still get absolutely gapped by people who were trained, guided, and tutored. The difference is night and day, self learning fundamentals will forever be inferior to being guided. Prodigies are never self made, they are curated by a meticulous system. If you manage to survive, you are nothing but a mediocre swimmer at best, and are far from being prepared for any sort of competition.

If you get two weeks ahead and stay two weeks ahead, you are learning all the material on your own. The professor and lectures are just a review. If you take five courses and study 40 hours a week each, that means 28 hours a day, seven days a week. When does the "study less, get better grades" part come in?
If you’re 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the course you would not be studying that much. You study that much because you’re behind. I guess I didn’t clarify that. If you want to reduce starting to about 10 hours a week, you make sure you’re 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the semester. If you want to study 30 hours a week per course, you start studying two weeks after the semester starts. To make up the time.
@@authorjond The textbooks need to be really good to allow you to study ahead. I'll agree you do get more out of the lectures when you are familiar with where they are going.
I'm a little confused. You said each math course is around 30-40 hours per week, but then said that if you get 2 weeks ahead, you'll only need to do 5 hours per week for the rest. How does that work?
The bulk of the study comes the first 3-5 chapters/sections. If you get that out of the way before the semester starts, the time you study will drop drastically. This could be like 100hrs of study you need to do before the semester starts. If you wait until the semester starts, you’ll have to spread that out and if you fall behind make up for it. There’s no exact way to tell you how long it’s gonna take for someone to study. The point is that if you’re well prepared for the chorus, you’ll be less at risk of falling behind and have a lot more time in your hands.
I picked this degree (Economics) because it was the best paying degree I could get into with my grades at the university I wanted. A huge waste of time. I got into Computer Engineering at a state school which I should have gone to instead. Now I struggle through content I find stupid and mostly useless. I have to keep going forward as I am 1 year from graduating. Studying is hard for me because it feels like I am practicing astrology. My soul is not in it so my brain isn't either.
A side note is that my favorite parts are when we are doing coding and math. I picked up some minor doing extra computer science and statistics course. That's all I am here for...
You chose Economics for its earning potential but regret not pursuing Computer Engineering at a state school, leaving you unmotivated and struggling through content you find useless as you near graduation. It’s tough to push through, but finishing what you started will open doors to new opportunities-stay strong. Author Jonathan David Thanks so much for being a fan of my work!

jonathan i have a question ive been here for awhile but ive always been curious about the 2 weeks thing. wouldnt it be easier if uou started like a month earlier than needed so your brain can remember the information better or does it not work that way
Absolutely. Realistically, you want to do it without break between semesters. I simply say two weeks because it’s got a good ring to it. For people that are just starting college with the reality is that you can’t take a break between semesters. You can just take it easy but no breaks. You gotta be like a professional athlete and treat summer And winter like off-season. Love the picture btw 🤣

I am physics grad student from India and I am literally struggling to keep with the pace of professors, sometimes I feel like dropping out of the course. Please provide your advice it would really be appreciated.
It’s not easy to stay focused. I’ve given up more times than I can count but I always go back. If you are a graduate student in physics, you probably enjoy physics. Just tough it out regret it if you don’t. And it will be done faster than you think. But if you hate it, you don’t want to be a physicist, then it’s OK not too. don’t waste your life making yourself miserable but also don’t waste your life regretting things
idk dude, i started off the semester with a severe pneumonia, missed 2 weeks and still score the highest on exams. Mind you, this was just a calc 1 class, however I never took geometry, trig, algebra 2, or precalc and it had been 4 years since i had done any math in general. It's not that hard to catch up if you just know how to learn lol. Also did well on my CS exam, but that's not as impressive since I've been around programming for a decent chunk of my childhood. And I know you're probably going to say "oh well its just calc 1 wait til u get to higher maths", dont care it'll be easy. These videos are heavily dramatic and are definitely geared towards people that shouldn't be taking these types of classes in the first place
@matthewp.5873 this also depends on how hard your curriculum is. I've seen Calc 1 classes at other colleges that were a joke compared to what I've had to take, respectfully.
@@a.j.flores3935 I second this. Calc 1 with my university Professor is not the same as calc 1 at other schools... exams had averages around 30%, half of the students ended up failing the course with that prof. Mind you, this was at a VERY selective engineering school, so these kids aren't "dumb" or "lazy" and have taken calculus in high school... I will say, it does depend on the prof.
I appreciate how you choose to get the message across
means a lot thanks for saying that

Too damn realistic and accurate. The ones in comments talking about exaggeration have no idea what it's really like. They're delusional.
An engineering degree is either overstudy or perish.
Fucking facts, I'm glad someone understands this. 👑
@@Danilio. I'm doing nuclear engineering. I'm forced to FULLY understand that hahaha.
@@warriordx5520 why nuclear engineering? Is that an interest or is it for employment prospects?
@@sp123 It's the most fun. The uni I applied for has great professors really nice and fun people who are passionate. They also don't require any attendance after the 1st year.
But the money is relatively good. I can do a master's in whatever I want and branch into every single sector.
You can probably only do that with electrical engineering but I found it very irritating to study.
You’re absolutely right-engineering is no walk in the park. It’s all about putting in the time and effort, and those who know, truly know. Stay determined, and don’t forget to subscribe for more tips to help along the way!

NOT going to university after being accepted after high school worked for me. I entered the work force and have been working for 5 years, now I go parttime at my local community college while working a job. Best decision I've made. Shoutout to nicotine patches, omega-3 supplements, choline supplements, and ashwagandha supplements.
Choosing to work first and pursue part-time education later can be a smart move-glad you found what works best for you!

Missing one course for a week shouldn't be a case for academic withdrawal. I hope people watching don't actually take that advice seriously. You can realistically get back 70% of that material in a weekend and then slowly get back the rest of the material with repetitive work in "spare" time which you can get back.
Depends on course and the amount of material. If you behind one week in a heavy course like Calc 2 or 3, it’s over bro. The mistake I see many of my peers make is taking too much units per semester. They would’ve been better off going part time in college, even if they graduate later. Unfortunately many colleges pressure students to graduate in a 4 year timeframe
@@Opium41462 i mean I think u can realistically still pass, I was behind in my calc 3 course and I still did pass somehow, but I had to lock my self in a room and study up all of the concepts. I also did above average in taking three math classes at the same time all by never attending and cramming 2 days before for each exam. I hated my life but it’s possible. Had severe burnout and just did homework from time time watched movies, slept and studied. I literally had no friends. (Yea mentally I was not in a good place, still working on that :/) So it is possible but u gotta sacrifice something. It def bit me in my back the following semester when I tried doing the same strat with 500 level courses. Yea ur right the units thing is too real. I end up neglecting my gen Ed’s to focus on the classes that actually matter for me. Also like the whole balancing an internship during the school year, etc. it’s crazy sometimes.
Missing a week of a course isn’t a deal-breaker-consistent effort and focused catch-up can realistically get you back on track.

@ how much for the courses
@ need diff equations and linear algebra now
M 28 - "Nontraditional Student" here and I thought I had "figured out" myself and I knew how to be better prepared for school.. Oh how wrong I was.... (I am doing alright but there are still key ingredients missing in my recipe)
Watching this at 1am while I am trying to gather my thoughts on how to study better for my Cal 2 course... been watching a lot of content that tells me how to learn the material better yet I still feel lost in class more often than not.
All of this to say that I remember hearing that you need to be "ahead" of lecture before you go to class - I just never did that and I guess had forgotten that I could take this action. Thank you for the harsh reality you have delivered.
Ill be reading through or watching some content on the chapter(s) the prof will be going over the day BEFORE that lecture (maybe I dont understand anything, but at least I am not walking in blind anymore is my thought process.)
This may sound obvious for some, but I know somewhere deep down, I made the active decision not listen to this wisdom in the past.
May it help many others in their academic journey as well.
Tangent:
I would be curious to know your perspective on how many courses to take per semester. I all but failed out of Uni my first go around due to not being prepared for it like you stated, I had not acquired the tools required for me to be able to survive learning how to learn.. And I would take full course loads but drop one or two classes until I ran out of drops allowed. This is a big fear for me moving forward back in my academic career. I dont care about graduating "on time" as that ship haa long since pasted, but I would like to push myself to find the limits of how hard I can work. Currently I am taking 1 8 week course at a time until I can make it back to University for an Industrial Engineering major.
CHEERS!
Thank you for sharing your journey so openly-it’s inspiring to see your commitment to growth and self-improvement, especially as a nontraditional student! Here’s some feedback and advice on your thoughts and questions:
Staying Ahead in Class
You’re absolutely right that previewing material before lecture, even if you don’t fully understand it, can transform your experience in class. Walking in with even a basic sense of the material lets you focus on filling gaps rather than trying to absorb everything cold. Over time, this approach not only reduces the feeling of being lost but also builds your confidence.
How Many Courses to Take
Your strategy of starting with one 8-week course at a time is fantastic-it allows you to rebuild your foundation and confidence. When you return to university, here are some things to consider:
Start Light: Take 2-3 courses in your first semester back. Focus on balancing challenging subjects (like Calculus) with lighter courses. This will help you ease into the rhythm of a full schedule.
Gauge Your Workload: Once you feel comfortable, gradually increase your load. Maybe start with 12 credits (a full-time load) before considering anything heavier.
Quality Over Quantity: It’s more valuable to truly grasp the material in fewer courses than to scrape by in a full load. As you said, graduating “on time” isn’t the goal-mastering the material is.
Understand Your Limits: It’s great to push yourself, but burnout is counterproductive. Pay attention to how much you can realistically handle without compromising health or quality of learning.
Additional Tips for Success
Study in Blocks: Use methods like Pomodoro to study in focused intervals, giving yourself breaks to recharge.
Ask for Help: Attend office hours or join study groups to discuss what confuses you-it’s amazing how much clarity comes from collaboration.
Reflect on Your Progress: At the end of each week, ask yourself what worked, what didn’t, and how you can adjust.
It’s clear you’ve grown so much since your first go at university, and your drive to keep pushing is inspiring. Industrial Engineering is a great field, and with your determination, I have no doubt you’ll thrive. Stay patient with yourself and trust the process-you’re building a strong foundation for success.
Don’t forget to subscribe for more support and insights, and best of luck on this incredible journey!

You know I cannot deny that this is the reality of being an academic to some degree but I don't think it should be. Not in the sense that I don't think people shouldn't be forced to confront problems and learn from them but in the sense that I feel there is a fine line between this and just not receiving mentorship. Like sure, if you don't know how to swim and someone throws you into a lake and tells you "figure it out" in the case that you survive, you will have learned many things about swimming that someone learning in a more guided way would have taken ages to learn. But the caveat is "if you survive" which in a sense is very reminiscent of how academics is.
I suppose in some sense you would want a system like that for the responsibility of the job but it begs the question of how effective is a system like that really when you still have your Francesca Geno's and their papers about "How writing a paper about a stance they disagree with makes them desire cleaning products more." Where I lie on where or not the system being the way it is being correct, I'm not sure. I do know, however, currently, when I get through this process get into grad school and become an academic, I want to contribute to making this process more health for students.
My thoughts on the topic changed drastically over the years.
I was just like everybody else until I started tutoring and I still complained about the professors until I started working and I realize that
That’s how my dad taught my brother and I to swim. And how he taught me many things. It is traumatizing for sure but man did it make me tough and resilient compared to the rest of the people in my generation. During that process you may hate it but afterwards you’ll be thankful. Of course if you can survive it.
@@rickeshpatel4025 And you will still get absolutely gapped by people who were trained, guided, and tutored. The difference is night and day, self learning fundamentals will forever be inferior to being guided. Prodigies are never self made, they are curated by a meticulous system. If you manage to survive, you are nothing but a mediocre swimmer at best, and are far from being prepared for any sort of competition.
Thank you so much!!!
Cheers!

If you get two weeks ahead and stay two weeks ahead, you are learning all the material on your own. The professor and lectures are just a review. If you take five courses and study 40 hours a week each, that means 28 hours a day, seven days a week. When does the "study less, get better grades" part come in?
If you’re 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the course you would not be studying that much. You study that much because you’re behind. I guess I didn’t clarify that.
If you want to reduce starting to about 10 hours a week, you make sure you’re 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the semester.
If you want to study 30 hours a week per course, you start studying two weeks after the semester starts. To make up the time.
@@authorjond The textbooks need to be really good to allow you to study ahead. I'll agree you do get more out of the lectures when you are familiar with where they are going.
I'm a little confused. You said each math course is around 30-40 hours per week, but then said that if you get 2 weeks ahead, you'll only need to do 5 hours per week for the rest. How does that work?
The bulk of the study comes the first 3-5 chapters/sections. If you get that out of the way before the semester starts, the time you study will drop drastically. This could be like 100hrs of study you need to do before the semester starts.
If you wait until the semester starts, you’ll have to spread that out and if you fall behind make up for it.
There’s no exact way to tell you how long it’s gonna take for someone to study. The point is that if you’re well prepared for the chorus, you’ll be less at risk of falling behind and have a lot more time in your hands.
I picked this degree (Economics) because it was the best paying degree I could get into with my grades at the university I wanted. A huge waste of time. I got into Computer Engineering at a state school which I should have gone to instead. Now I struggle through content I find stupid and mostly useless. I have to keep going forward as I am 1 year from graduating. Studying is hard for me because it feels like I am practicing astrology. My soul is not in it so my brain isn't either.
A side note is that my favorite parts are when we are doing coding and math. I picked up some minor doing extra computer science and statistics course. That's all I am here for...
You chose Economics for its earning potential but regret not pursuing Computer Engineering at a state school, leaving you unmotivated and struggling through content you find useless as you near graduation.
It’s tough to push through, but finishing what you started will open doors to new opportunities-stay strong.

Hello do you recommend reading physics for scientists and engineers??
The best thing to do is learn the same topics from multiple books. This will help you see things from many angles.

jonathan i have a question ive been here for awhile but ive always been curious about the 2 weeks thing. wouldnt it be easier if uou started like a month earlier than needed so your brain can remember the information better or does it not work that way
Absolutely. Realistically, you want to do it without break between semesters. I simply say two weeks because it’s got a good ring to it. For people that are just starting college with the reality is that you can’t take a break between semesters. You can just take it easy but no breaks. You gotta be like a professional athlete and treat summer And winter like off-season.
Love the picture btw 🤣
thankyou
Cheers!

@@authorjond i found your channel for a reason, your effort to help students is 100% appreciated!
I’m smart but i’m just lazy and i have adhd - but i’m lazy so i use adhd as an excuse.
Acknowledging the issue is a big step-small, consistent efforts can help you push past both laziness and excuses.

I am physics grad student from India and I am literally struggling to keep with the pace of professors, sometimes I feel like dropping out of the course. Please provide your advice it would really be appreciated.
It’s not easy to stay focused. I’ve given up more times than I can count but I always go back.
If you are a graduate student in physics, you probably enjoy physics. Just tough it out regret it if you don’t. And it will be done faster than you think.
But if you hate it, you don’t want to be a physicist, then it’s OK not too. don’t waste your life making yourself miserable but also don’t waste your life regretting things
Definitely b
Indeed!
be a scientist and solve your weight problem
You are a very unpleasant human being. I hope you change before you get to college.
idk dude, i started off the semester with a severe pneumonia, missed 2 weeks and still score the highest on exams. Mind you, this was just a calc 1 class, however I never took geometry, trig, algebra 2, or precalc and it had been 4 years since i had done any math in general. It's not that hard to catch up if you just know how to learn lol. Also did well on my CS exam, but that's not as impressive since I've been around programming for a decent chunk of my childhood. And I know you're probably going to say "oh well its just calc 1 wait til u get to higher maths", dont care it'll be easy. These videos are heavily dramatic and are definitely geared towards people that shouldn't be taking these types of classes in the first place
Not all of us are human...
@matthewp.5873 this also depends on how hard your curriculum is. I've seen Calc 1 classes at other colleges that were a joke compared to what I've had to take, respectfully.
@@a.j.flores3935 I second this. Calc 1 with my university Professor is not the same as calc 1 at other schools... exams had averages around 30%, half of the students ended up failing the course with that prof. Mind you, this was at a VERY selective engineering school, so these kids aren't "dumb" or "lazy" and have taken calculus in high school...
I will say, it does depend on the prof.
