The reason why dissertations are printed on 90 or 100gsm paper, is that, as they are deposited in either the faculty library and/or the UL, they need to be able to withstand wear & tear and constant use. Glad the Terry's chocolate oranges arrived whole and not in pieces
JustSayin24 It depends on your Faculty. The Faculty of Geography deposits all undergraduate dissertations in the UL after a period of time, while other faculties like, e.g. Land Economy hold undergraduate dissertations in their faculty library. The UL mainly holds PhD thesis's and dissertations, together with other higher degrees (LLD, &c.), as well as MSc, MLitt &c. dissertations in the Manuscript Department Not all of the faculty holdings are publicly catalogued, some can only be found use the departmental card library
5:30 "Although don't use tiding up as an excuse to progress"That's the most best to hear in this video. I used to do the same but completely ran out of time for the real thing that I was supposed to do i.e Study. Everyone should take lesson from it!
I need to say that I almost cried when I saw Wetherspoons. I visited Cambridge last year and was the first place I recognised in your video. Now that I let that out, I have to say that I've finally found someone from the same area as me, and that understands the struggle of typing notes for some subjects. So, I'm a new subscriber now! Hope your life is going the way you wanted in this video :)
After i have got my first smartphone i use it more and more each day even for notes and writing what could become a blog-post. I must admit that hand written, notes, drawings and stuff are No. 1 for me. Good work
Truly enjoy your Vlogs Jake, thanks for the effort for putting them up despite your crazy busy uni life with exams n stuffs, keep doing it n hopefully I can bump into you sometimes on London streets :)
Why do I like watching this so much? lol Why do I like watching you in college and studying more than I like studying and going to college myself? Even though I study Computer Science as well.
_I_ prefer handwriting both my notes and problem sets. I know of a few who took their lecture notes and type up their psets in LaTeX. Their typing skill and speed was perfected over years of software design and programming. They are more comfortable with typing than writing. I attempt avoiding typing because my handwriting has gone to pot. So many times, I am cosigned to typing on computer. Posting comments is a case in point.
I like to hand write my notes. It allows me to draw things easily. I heard that you remember things better when you write them, but that could also apply to typing. I don't know, I just feel like I remember better when writing.
DEHMO some theories point to the fact that we write slower than we type so our brain has more time to internalize what we are writing. That's why apps like Notability and Goodnotes is pretty popular now because it allows you to handwrite on iPad and the same time save your work digitally. I like to mix both methods :)
Glad to hear that Jake is feeling better. Nice to see the bike footage, it adds context. Mail time! Much more graceful than Casey Neistat's Mail Time. ;) I wonder if Jake will be able to share a Graze promo code, or if that is frowned upon. I am not familiar with the concept of a chocolate orange. I wonder if it is a British thing, or maybe more of a posh chocophile thing. I am very glad that we can continue to enjoy Jake's vlogs onward into the foreseeable future. He projects good energy, and I know that he really entertains, educates and inspires many of his viewers. Certainly he has had a profound positive effect on my life. Thanks Jake! Jake's tidying is like organizational porn. Everything feels better when it is optimally organized. I like watching Jake clean and then seeing the optimized end result. I could do a little more tidying myself. I like Jake's writing rational. When I started college I got a MS Pocket PC (ran Windows CE) with keyboard. I was convinced I was going to type all my lecture notes. Then the professor would do math or draw a diagram and I would fumble to reproduce it. My handwriting was also very weak on tests. Handwritten notes can be important. I wish there was a better alternative, but I don't think we have the perfect technological replacement just yet. Tablets with the right app may be viable, but I haven't experienced that yet. I hope Jake's Greek vacation is going well despite the recent economic challenges there.
Perspectologist Yes, but can the developer PROVE it is his work which resulted in the product's origination? Why, yes, your Honor. The entire process was handwritten, by him. Patent awarded. We are adjourned. (Yes, it happened. ) The BEST reason.
im studying coding now and i do both..tto me repitition is key in understanding concepts..first i try to write notes beside my codes so i can quickly access them and take a look from my computer..and when i have a good grasp of tje concept ill write it down in my notebook using my own words..this way i can explain a certain concept easily...plus it reinfoces the knowledge you just gain..
I'm just going into Part III. My revision notes are pretty much all simplifications, or re-formats of the lecture notes. I type these up using screenshots of the lecture notes if I want to incorporate diagrams or equations (since there is no extra information that I would bother adding).
I agree with you. Handwriting is good for comprehending deeply the contents of the writing and remembering for a long time. Because the method uses hands in person, it uses more brain than computer typing. Moreover, handwriting improve writer’sunique calligraphic style and transmit thinking with effect.
Hi, I've noticed you're no longer linking videos, how come?? It was SO convenient ... Also, hope exams went well, and after Cambridge, what will you do? I'd like you to continue vlogging, but after all it's your life
Mr. Blue Sky what do you mean 'linking videos'? I'm still adding them to the playlists (this one and the previous one weren't added straight away because for some reason that's not a feature when they're scheduled).
Jake Wright Oh really? Sorry mate! All of the other videos have a feature at the ends where it loads the next video automatically, therefore Cambridge Vlog 1 would automatically play on to Cambridge Vlog 2 and it would carry on like a playlist in order :) But I thought you added that in, or 'linked' the videos to eachother straight away, so that's my fault. But yeah, I used to watch them and just have them running in the background like a podcast, and that chain gets sort of broken around Cambridge Vlog 63 (as in it no longer auto-plays). It also sort of messes up the order where you've stopped numbering them, but it's not a huge trouble. Really I was just asking about the auto-play thing, but I guess you've got a backload to get through, no worries! Cheers
Mr. Blue Sky The autoplay thing is done automatically but I had a look at the playlist it is hopefully based on and it had a few vlogs missing that I'd forgot to add. Hopefully now that the playlist is up-to-date the autoplay thing can fix itself and suggest the right vlogs in order.
I always do handwritten notes because the sensation of putting permanent ink that is not easily erasable or removable encourages a person to put more thought onto the things he writes. I type fast so when I type notes, most of the time, I don't even remember what I typed. Also, I don't think much about it because the backspace button is so easily accessble. New sub here!
Vevoh | Leader Of Sero | Absolute Tank The desk in this video is just part of the furniture in the room, I didn't buy it, I have no idea where it's from or how much it cost.
Hey Jake, Could you tell me how much of the course is actual programming? Looking at your notes on sensors and stuff it doesn't interest me too much...
I beg to differ, for me I reach peak typing speeds of ~180wpm and have a bunch of shortcuts on word which I type for example \therefore e ightarrow which I type instead of having to write everything out. I transitioned from using handwriting and it makes it so much neater in my case. Also the ability to just read it on a phone or whatever digital device I have is so much more valuable to me.
What would you say about writing notes by hand on a laptop such as the Surface Book or Surface Pro? That way you can write all the complicated maths symbols while still having all of your notes in one place.
Hey, I know this sounds random, but did you recently do a talk at my school? (Whitley Bay high school). Apparently some Cambridge Compsci student from Newcastle called jake did a presentation that I missed 😥
Yeah, I experienced it when I'm doing my term paper on Math, it's realy hard on typing, writing is faster than typing if theres a lot of formulas and numbers.
+ Jake: I am your big fun. I am impress of your great work:-))) You are doing very interesting vlogs. It is ALWAYS good to her your NICE voice. Just to amusing you a few years ago I ordered a GRAZE box ( just as a trial). After that they keep sending me a lot of Graze boxes nearly twice a week. My friend laugh at me until now because we did not know how to stope coming them even for librarian was difficult to solve this problem. So your vlogs and the company that you are working for are always remainds me about this funny story with Graze boxes. Have a good day whatever you do:-))))
Hi, Jake! Can you tell me what lined paper do you use? I'm sorry for stupid question. I'm from Russia and I'm not sure I saw it before in my country... Lol. Mb you can give me link on amazon? Btw it looks comfortable for writing.
You have a brother printer, which one is it please and is it good. I've been looking for one that's not overly expensive to run but doesn't take 20 minutes to print 3 duplex pages.
hey jake ! I like the videos you made . I am from bangladesh . I am studying in computer science and engineering . I have seen the tutorial you made, learn html in 12 minutes and the other videos you made . Can YOU pls... upload videos some of programming language like c , c++, java , or python what have you learn best , and share some experience at your work place ...... THANKS a LOT JAKE WRIGHT .
Hey Jake! I'm an aspiring computer science major. I'm currently an 11th grader, or in Year 12 and was wondering wether studying computer science would be better in the UK or US? Thanks :)
Jake Wright i am studying Computer Science at University of Wolverhampton and I will buy a laptop and I will buy a new laptop.. what do you recommend me for Computer Science studies and future developing. Windows PC or macbook?
Sir plz wish me luck i seriously require so much miracles right i put in so much efforts but im beyond a mess right now but not giving up anyway just if nothing else pray for and/with me or something im still doing a levels and gcses and trying to get A*
Lol. It’s stupid to be so nerdy just to get into a prestigious university. At the end of the day, you get the same education, except you just went try-hard mode for no reason. I bet nerds like him sacrifice hygiene and a social life for the sake of studies and school.
