    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.

    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.

      @authorjond  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      i see what you’re saying and you’re right missing one course shouldn’t lead to withdrawal it’s definitely possible to catch up if you put in the work and use your time wisely some people just panic too much but with the right mindset you can definitely recover

      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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    • @authorjond
      @authorjond  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      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.

    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.

      @authorjond  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

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.
