Graduate Review Of Computer Engineering At The University Of Pretoria

[@macp1611]

One of the good benefits of doing difficult degrees is that it gives you the confidence and ability to pursue anything in life. 👍👍🔥🔥 Congrats mitch

[@mitch7w]

Exactly!

[@keithgive5246]

Congrats Mitch👏!! 5 years for an engineering degree should be considered record time lol😁Looking forward to that "A day in the life of a software engineer" video soon👌

[@mitch7w]

Soon soon!

[@sbut4095]

Congratulations, Mitch!! What a pleasure it’s been watching your journey all these years. All the best for your future. 🤩🤩

[@mitch7w]

Thanks so much, journey's just begun

[@elmass3662]

You really crushed your final year hey😅. Very inspiring!

[@mitch7w]

Thanks man! Was nice to finish strong

[@Ponder985]

Remember watching your video 4 years ago. Now I'm doing my first year in computer science! Well done !! Can't wait to see how your channel will unfold.

[@mitch7w]

Good luck, me too

[@Yahweh5995]

Thanks bruv im doing Computer Science and Applied Mathematics you just showed me that what I'm going through is normal. You are an inspiration

[@mitch7w]

Thanks man, good luck!

[@SilentJnation]

Thank you man. I just wrapped up my first year of computer engineering, I failed a course and was considering dropping the major honestly. But you've showed me its still doable. And that there's nothing wrong with taking a 5th year. Thanks again.

[@mitch7w]

Good luck!

[@BRIAN-sh3ei]

What a journey man, I still remember the first video in this channel. We started together Mitch and we finished together, I also took an extra year. Absolutely worth it 🙌🏾

[@mitch7w]

Thanks for being such a longtime supporter man, we done!

[@xolisazethu4280]

I’m so inspired as you explain that you also took 5 years instead of 4 , because I’m also doing electronics and electronics engineering and not graduating in record time is discouraging me but I’m glad now

[@mitch7w]

Means nothing when you working so keep going! :)

[@affecttheeffect]

If I were in a position to influence policy on how to grade exams I would suggest giving method marks a high priority. The true test of assessing a student's ability to answer a question is how well he or she can present a series of well reasoned mathematical method steps that lead to the correct conclusion; the precise numerical answer is of lesser importance since even someone who has never attended varsity could accurately complete the arithmetic of plugging numbers into the formulae at a later time. Also I remember when you were deciding whether you should stretch out your studies to 5 years. At the time you were leaning toward adhering to the original 4 year plan. Had you known then that only 20% of students succeed in such a short time it would have been easier to make the decision to take the extra year to finish. Please take care on your trip Mitch, this has been the mildest Winter we've had here in the nation's capital since 1949; to date we've had no measurable snow at all but in the past February has produced some of our heaviest snowfalls measuring over 2 feet and capable of snarling air traffic up and down the East Coast. If long range forecasts are accurate that won't happen this Winter.

[@mitch7w]

USA is great so far!

[@affecttheeffect]

@@mitch7w I was hoping it would be Mitch! Yeah, it was 65° and sunny in Washington DC and Maryland a couple days ago, it hardly ever gets that warm in February. Even though the last day and a half have cooled down we’re going back up into the 60s next weekl

[@aishaaskar8774]

Graduation with computer engineering this December. This major gave me headaches, stress but all worth it. I like the diversity this degree will give me in the future.

[@mitch7w]

Congrats

[@kabelomanake8960]

Truly inspiring congrats on making through engineering degree🔥🔥

[@mitch7w]

Thanks a lot. Glad to be done

[@sreekumarsreenivasan4880]

Congratulations Mitch for Completing the Degree . Another congratulations for your consistency in past 5 years uploading videos . May be you are a born techno commercial media person , please dont restrict yourself just in Engineering field . Your last video is actually the best one interns of content , prep , presentation etc . Somehow I felt that somebody in our house completing the degree . Congratulations .. well done . Stay blessed .

[@mitch7w]

Thanks hey. Gonna be interesting to see where I can take the channel

[@mukundimushiana5402]

Congratulations Mitch. 🔥🔥🔥. I also completed my Electrical and Information Engineering...Signals and Systems was brutal😅

[@sakhilehadebe1648]

Bro i did computer engineering as well to this day i think it was God grace that i finished that thing, the most difficult think i ever did.

[@mitch7w]

haha was a tough ride

[@Izzy-g7t]

I've never come across a bad attitude towards undergraduates where I live in Sweden! All my lecturers enjoy questions and will take extra time to discuss with first year students! And I've been at two unis at least.

[@mitch7w]

That's good, glad you're being treated well

[@AmageziLS]

Wow am starting to fall in love

[@kooshough5893]

I miss you by 2 years, good luck with your future

[@mitch7w]

Thanks

[@tsholofelogorekwang9560]

Hey Mitch congratulations on completing your degree and I absolutely can't wait for your post-varsity work related computer engineering videos, I'm going into my 2nd year of computer engineering and I just have a few question to ask, if you had to do your degree again what would you differently and how would you manage your overall time and work load better as you progress in the later years of your degree, how did you handle the pressure that comes with engineering week, how did you manage to study effectively and how did manage not understanding certain complex concepts immediately and how did you keep yourself motivated when you had to repeat certain modules. You can make a short video about it because I know if these are not in place you can easily quit engineering school. I know it will help many more upcoming engineering students. Thank you in advance.

[@mitch7w]

Watch some of my tips for Tuks videos and general Eng videos. There's no secret, just have to find the reason you want the degree and study with friends and ask for help regularly and keep on working hard even when you fail

[@denaude7058]

Thank you, Mitch, for all the varsity advice. It has helped me a lot.

[@mitch7w]

I'm so glad!

[@katlegozondo5772]

Congratulations man. Your videos got me through varsity, I am forever grateful

[@sreekumarsreenivasan4880]

Hi Mitch, In Computer Engineering at Tuks, what is a good GPA Score. Is 70% good, is there people with 80% overall, is that a herculean task in UP. to get some idea of what is a good score. I guess the GPA Score matters when we aim to do an overseas master's program.

[@mitch7w]

75% and above is a distinction. A distinction is very very impressive for Comp Eng imo

[@CashZayan]

Do you need really need physics to entre software cause im good in maths not physics

[@IAmPhathu]

Wh8ch programming language do they use to program I'm consider to move to UP

[@mitch7w]

All of them

[@Mr.X-i1s]

I only wish this course were available in Fiji

[@mitch7w]

Lots of good online alternatives like Courser and edX

[@kwanelengobese9696]

Hi Mitch. When you say you were not good at maths , how was your performance in matric? I came out with a 4 in maths but I still want to do computer science/ engineering

[@qhawejames134]

hello Mitch i will be doing comp eng 1st year next year at UP do you have any recommendations about what I should be doing to prepare myself for next year this holiday eg any programming languages or any maths I should be doing

Yeah, do some Khan Academy calculus courses to get ahead

I'm a high school learner and I want to become a software engineer so I wanted to ask if did you go to a tech high school or just a normal school?.

[@mitch7w]

What's a tech high school?😂

[@benno8699]

When you switched to 5 years, is that the same as switching to the Engage? Or is it just switching your 4yr to 5yrs to reduce the load?

[@mitch7w]

Switching to reduce the load. Engage has extra modules you have to do

[@benno8699]

@@mitch7w great, thanks. I know about the extra modules, that's why I'm asking. Don't want those!

Hey mind me asking whats the difference between electronic and computer engineering Does electronic have a bit more hardware and computer more software with them having more focus on electronics/computers than electrical engineering

[@mitch7w]

Computer has more software and electronic has more electrical/robotics
