Please don’t stop making these videos! I promise, you’re reaching your intended audience! The best piece of advice is at 4:50. It’s true that some courses prioritise certain skills. Even if you understand and enjoy a topic, you still have to ensure that you give the course what it needs so that it can give you the grade you want.

Thank you, that's very encouraging! Will do!

My advice would be: work hard and go to your limit but make sure you have a point in the week where you always take a break and enjoy yourself and socialise. And as said in the video, get yourself a group of friends to study with. You need to look out for yourself, because the text books surely won't.

Anna while giving an interview as engineer how to speak about our knowledge of watching documentaries, reading books ? As one of my frnds told me knowledge is different from skills & not to package it as skills so what's the best way to present it..

[@theannareich]

Are you talking about job interviews? I would mention books or documentaries as things that motivated me to go into the field or apply at a company (if they did) or just describe the journey you've been on in terms of learning about the field. This way you show that you're already well-read in the field without directly stating that you know a lot (because there's probably a lot more to learn than you can from a few documentaries and books). For example: "I watched this documentary which got me curious about the industry. So then I also read this book and that book and finally decided that this is the right field for me to go into. I'm hoping to learn more about X and Y on the job since I'm especially excited about those."
