Ok thanks 😊 Please i have a question, I'm a first year mechanical engineering student, i wrong my CA and I did some errors now I'm waiting the first semester but when I'm reading for the semester I'm Justin afraid?

[@GiovanniBallerinii]

One interesting tip some neurologists suggested is studying and then going for a walk/run as your brain automatically "stores" argoments studied during the previous hours

[@rajkishorebehera7489]

As a fellow mechanical engineer from India working in the plastic industry, i appreciate you sharing your struggles and how you dealt with them.

[@HehBe-f4z]

How is the plastic industry , what subjects do you need to Focus to join in plastic industry

[@rajkishorebehera7489]

@@HehBe-f4z So i have done my bachelor's in mechanical engineering, i work in a plastic company, we make plastic parts for companies like John Deere,Messy Furgeson, Whirlpool etc,i work as a new product development engineer, the work of our department is to develop new plastic parts, the parts are designed on customer end, they share us 3d data and 2D drawing, we forward the same to our mold makers and make parts with certain deadline, it's more like project manager job.

[@rajkishorebehera7489]

@@HehBe-f4z Where are you from ??

[@anuragnaidu7517]

​@@rajkishorebehera7489hi I'm from a plastic background too, I was a plastic product design engineer for 2 years until very recently I decided to pursue my bachelor's degree, got a free seat in mechatronics and I'm finding it difficult to study at the beginning of 2nd year can you give me some tips.

[@jrsthesedays925]

As soon as you said India, I stopped reading

I really like the humility here of accepting the need to change things. Very good.

[@Abel-o9z]

I am currently going through the same things that happens to you ,I am taking both Calculus I and physics at same time where I am struggling to understand the concept in my physics lecture class which makes me question my major and my intelligent, while I am trying to maintain my GPA to transit to college of Engineering in the next semester and I am trying to more than ever in my class read more and get helps in the math and physics labs in my schools more option than my previous year.

[@thelistener6319]

Don’t let anything deter you, you will graduate. Everyone is on a different path, you will succeed.

[@DannyDusse]

In the exact same boat as you, except I'm going for Computer Science. Got a D on my first exam but my overall grade is currently a B. My initial approach was to use Kahn Academy and that helped a bit but I've decided it's better to just practice previous questions from homework until I git gud lol.

[@DrPlans]

is this physics 1? this course is usually difficult for everyone. the key difference is how you learn. try to go over the textbook chapter BEFORE the lecture. what i did: open the textbook and find a subject for example: applying newton's laws and then go through the textbook. Then open up a youtube video and search physics 1 force, etc. get different layers and different explanations for things. eventually the overlap can fill in the gaps. then practice, practice, practice. physics in particular is all about practice. unlike calculus, chemistry, etc. i realized physics really only makes sense after you try a problem, get it wrong, then look to see where you went wrong. doing it again till you get the right answer, then trying another one and going through the process over and over. most importantly: dont give up. you're intelligent enough, it's just a matter of changing your approach. also, be honest with yourself, are you REALLY giving it your all? or are you procrastinating? only you can answer that.

[@codeintherough]

Shouldn't you study physics after calculus1? University physics has calculus

[@ol13]

Clicked so fast.Engineering is competitive af and the gatekeeping is crazy.Thank you for giving us hope!

[@HTrntrs]

Really? is that why there is limited amount of resources?

[@theycallmespongebob4363]

That makes so much sense 😭

[@Scientist287]

I got my PhD in physics from Boston University. I taught a lot of classes there, and I can tell you it’s pretty tough, very high expectations, but it’s the best freaking school. Undergrad would’ve been awesome there, the location is just the best, I will always have a Boston shaped hole in my heart.

[@HappyLearner-jb7jp]

Thank you for your videos they make me a better engineering student and I'm certain it helps many others.

[@studywithclay2023]

one thing I would love to see touched on is how to incorporate this routine with the workload of a stem major. I feel like I have good time management, but the hw takes me so long I rarely have time to study, especially during midterms when things combine together

[@NowPerfection]

Thank you so much for this. Adding the last bit about feeling behind is so important. Reminding myself that everyone learns at a different pace and that it's a marathon not a race is very motivating.

[@IOSPeteCho]

Nice tips. Also appreciate your honesty on admitting that what worked for you may not work for others.

I want to go into civil engineering, but didn’t really care about my grades until I knew about what I wanted to do. So this led to me getting a 3.18 gpa, this video really helps.

TIip for students: If you have a little amount to study, do as much as possible all the others exams of the assignment from other years

[@hotman718]

A good strategy is to be perfect before the final exam. If your current grade is 100 and final exam is worth 40% you can actually fail it and still pass the class. It really helps take the stress away from big exams

[@devvv4616]

If you have the ability to be perfect before the final exam, you probably can ace the finale exam too

[@PrabhablyAGoodYouTuber]

it's never too late to learn math from the ground up, or that "you're too old" to learn math, etc. Think of it like this, a 90 year old who regrets choosing an unfulfilling career would do anything to be 38 years old again like you to "start over" and do things differently. Yes, you as a 38 year old right now might say "I'll do anything to be 18 years old again" for example - and an 18 year old might say "I'll do anything to be 12 years old again". I guess my point is that right now, you are living the past of your future self. I probably looked way too deep into this for your comment to very well be just a joke - but I'm just putting it out there if it helps ya

[@hotman718]

Im 31 terrible at math, went back to college like 12 years after highschool. Didn't even remember basic algebra. Im doing pretty good now. You can learn math pretty quickly. Ive basically relearned all highschool math in a few months now im doing calculus. It's very possible to get good quick
