How to be prepared for exams in college. Getting over whiny baby syndrome.

[@ursolucki8662]

I truly hope you don't stop making these, I just changed to an engineering major and the things you say has truly made me see things differently and has helped change my ways for the good. Nothing better then a straight forward not so nice video about nothing but truth.

[@authorjond]

I make video

[@soup5837]

I’m 17 years old going into college next year and I’m so grateful I found your channel. I really appreciate the straight forward advice you give, thanks for making these videos

Its honestly sick how colleges expect integrity and yet expect you to put up with their overpriced, debt crushing coursework that doesn't apply in the real world half of the time. Even then, if you are a young person reading this please uphold your integrity even if others around you do not. Karma will catch up to you if you do not.

[@authorjond]

It’s called the Art of Conning. it’s the same concept of abuse people push people down and blame them for falling over

[@fosres]

@@authorjond It is. Terrible.

[@fosres]

@@authorjond Mmm...interesting. I may actually buy one. Thanks for sharing!

[@authorjond]

That would be awesome!

[@Noah6544]

I'm in my first year of college, 3 weeks in, feeling myself slip and you helped me realize its because I was expecting to be spoon fed everything I need to know, need to do, need to study etc. You're helping me realize I'm not as mature as I thought and I need to grow up and stop whining, good video good lesson p.s could you turn your volume up next time? i can barely hear you at max volume. thanks boss man

[@authorjond]

The volume is weird device to device. When I turn up the gain, it sounds horrible.

[@Brithannyt]

I’ve been struggling in my chemical engineering program and this video made me realize it’s all my own fault. I’m not putting in the work, focusing on the wrong things, and just expect answers to be handed to me. Thank you for the wake up call, I feel more motivated to succeed now. 👏🏽

[@authorjond]

Awesome!

[@emmaalava3852]

His videos are great especially if ur looking for a male to be blunt w u and if u don’t have that home or Gudiance , here u go!!! Love that he talks about both male and females students are same but diff as well . Thank you !

[@authorjond]

💯

[@Ihopeitsnottoobig]

This channel has been a breath of freah air. I did college the wrong way the first go around. Superiority porjections all over the place and thinking i didnt need anyone or anyones opinions. Boy what a foolish way to go through life. This time aroujd is gonna be different. Headed into the medical field.

[@authorjond]

Call me oxygen baby!

[@jacobharris5894]

I also made so many dumb mistakes getting my physics/astro degrees. I took responsibility for my learning but I also had brain dead study habits. I just tried to do everything brute force and try to learn everything in a sixteen week course. This worked for calculus and lower division physics classes but eventually it just didn’t work anymore. At least not well enough to avoid becoming more of a B and C student. I cared about learning more than my grades which is good but you need a healthy balance of both if you want to do well. I didn’t realize this at the time but thinking you can master everything in a 16 week upper division physics/math course is your ego not letting you come to terms with reality. People don’t take a humanities course and expect to have everything from your readings memorized by the end of the course. So it’s strange I had an expectation like that for myself in science courses. College courses teach physics/math at such an unnatural pace. Unless you are very intelligent, you’re going to need to go through it a second or third time, probably on your own time before you master everything. That doesn’t mean you can’t become competent in a short time, so this shouldn’t bother you. You’ll be much less miserable and stressed in your classes if you internalize this. You just need to prioritize things wisely and assume some things will fall between the cracks. You can already learn things later on your own time, so it’s not a big loss. When I saw this guy talking about practice tests and not worrying about homework’s, it finally clicked for me why I couldn’t stay an A student. It seems like such obvious advice in hindsight but it wasn’t for some reason. I thought I was just slow, which I am, but in hindsight all the top students I knew just knew how to learn better than me. I’m going to go about things very differently for my classes in graduate school. Working hard is important but working smarter is even more important.

When you think about it, whenever your receiving hate comments, that’s actually good sign that KZbin is recommending your videos to multiple viewers, don’t let them bring you down👍

I just wanna make games, and that requires a mountain of math (if I want to worth my dollar to someone and be considered a dev, not an artist), so this is a good channel to remind myself that I'm teaching myself in the end. Luckily, I was a music major originally so self teaching is like at least 80% of the job, so just another Monday, just different theory

[@authorjond]

Treat school like becoming a professional athlete. Only you can build your muscles. Just making sure that I’m a character in one of the games

[@jacobharris5894]

That sounds like such a cool job. I wanted to be a video game developer when I was younger. I wish you luck on your journey. Hopefully you enjoy learning the math you need along the way.

[@joblesschris1400]

Im a whiney baby, and I know that i am, thats why in the beginning, it felt like mockery, just piswing on the wound of a person. I know i am but i cant help but feel that way, but i do understand whats wrong with it but i keep giving myself excuses to not change which is even worse. But i guess this is just what i needed, something to slap me to wake up. And in the end, it wasnt even just us that you were talkin bout, it also you, how you were before. Thanks for sharing experience, peobably might need more of that in the future. And i dunno if this has been said, but you did great for living the past decades, if you didnt, i mightve not gotten this. Thanks for these advices, even they were blunt, you did say the truths, it had to be done to pry open the mind enclosed in a metal box.

[@authorjond]

Thank you for sharing your honesty here. Recognizing the struggle of wanting to change but feeling stuck is one of the hardest steps, and it takes courage to admit that. It’s normal to feel defensive or even hurt when confronted with blunt truths, but sometimes that tough love is exactly what’s needed to start breaking down those barriers. I’m glad you found something meaningful in my experiences, and trust me, I’ve been there too. It’s easy to get comfortable with excuses, but realizing that is the first step toward actually making a change. You’ve got what it takes to keep moving forward, even if it’s hard. Keep an open mind, be patient with yourself, and remember that growth is a journey, not an overnight transformation. Your support means the world to me! Every book purchase, membership, or Super Thanks helps keep this channel going strong. If you're able to contribute, I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you for making a difference!

I always appreciate your insight.

[@authorjond]

Thanks brother! Treat that professor like a girlfriend you wanna date and research the way he thinks.

[@ErlingGrey]

😂 will do, and I love the analogy that when I’m an engineer I’ll have problems that have no answer. It’s funny because I’m reading the book Project Hail Mary and I admire the main character because he’s able to problem solve in space with no assistance but didn’t make the connection that I need to do the same now.

Side note: ive been using brilliant daily to test my math skills and low key idk if im helping myself or doing myself a disservice

[@authorjond]

If you’re going to do daily exercises, I would focus on just doing practice exams and do research in the way that the professor makes the exam so that you can be prepared for the exam. You can always do it. Anything else you want outside of this semester

[@silkWR]

really enjoying these longer lesson videos

[@authorjond]

Glad you like them!

[@silkWR]

sad abt tbe math videos but i cant say much i wasnt watching everything either because im still in lower maths atm but i enjoy what ur doing man

[@authorjond]

Conclusion- Instead of watching me and how I learn, I am going to make a video showing students how to learn how to learn. That is enough for them to go on forward.

[@silkWR]

@@authorjond agreed

[@authorjond]

Cheers!

my exams are next week so I am only just now opening practice exams (rookie mistake) and it’s actually so much easier than all of our quizzes and hw but they’re slightly different if that makes sense

Everyone is a liar to some extent. Anyone who says they aren’t a liar is the biggest liar there is. The only difference is that some people acknowledge it and try to work on it, and others deny it and never grow. Those are the ones we call pathological liars. They can’t help but lie. They can’t even be honest about being a liar it’s so bad for them. Anytime you catch yourself in a lie, you have to acknowledge that it was the wrong thing to do and try to not do it again, but you will fail inevitably. The good news is, there are jobs for those people, it’s called politics.

[@authorjond]

Once we all understand, that everything we know is a lie, we can begin to see the truth.

[@skapun7744]

How would you suggest doing practice exams in an intro to Real Analysis class? I find that Real Analysis differs a lot from professor to professor and from different colleges. Or a better phrased question would be, how could I get a better idea of questions that I am going to see on the exams?

[@authorjond]

From my experience, what they put on those exams is usually whatever questions are like medium difficulty from your homework. But they will often ask them from a different angle. So take questions that are like from your homework and find similar ones in the question bank from the books that approach from a different angle and then just give yourself exams a few times a week.

[@FrizzTradez]

I NO IM WRITE, U WRONG!! 🤣

[@authorjond]

Ha!

[@whyjustwhy1602]

what should i do if i cant find similar practice exams online? this isn't happening currently rn but im just wondering hypothetically

Hi Jonathan. I am sorry to see that you are in a bad mood. I think its totally okay if you just focus on these talk videos where you try to give life advice instead of the math/science lectures. I think these are the treasures of your channel :)

[@authorjond]

Well, that’s very good of you to say thank you. I didn’t realize people would enjoy listening to me talk the math and physics lessons are far superior to anybody else out there though, but it’s not financially worthwhile and much easier for me to do. So I appreciate it.
