Watched your videos while I was in law school and during pandemic. Your videos motivated me to study. I wasn't able to follow your videos for a while during my bar exam prep. After passing the bar exam and starting as an associate a few months ago, I thought I'd motivate myself again in making my pleadings by watching your videos. Keep up the hard work Lucy.
To get into Oxford [ Major Scholar in English ] I studied 12 hours a day. Not much help or guidance from my teachers , who wisely just sent me to the library. Once in, I was overwhelmed by new influences, like my friend was doing Chinese, so I got absorbed in his text books, Taoism, etc. I also pursued my second interest which was visual arts, so spent a lot of time making lithographs and etchings. Needless to say, I failed my finals first time around, but scraped by eventually and had a successful career teaching at college level abroad. .I had friends who were doing Maths, with larger brains than mine, one of whom is a prof in a prestigious British uni, the other a freelance programmer well ahead of the curve. It helps to be a nerd, but don't lose sight of your own satisfaction and ideals.
It's really interesting to see how math works at oxford. We usually have like 3-4 courses every semester and worksheets for each of them. We also meet in groups to work on the sheets which is very helpful. Now that im in my third year of bachelors I even get to choose all the courses i want to do :)
I love mathematics but I only want to solve exercises, I hate the theoretical part. I once spent 10 hours studying for a Mathematical Analysis exam and I didn't even feel like the time had passed that much. I see myself completely reflected in this video if university was only about solving math problems 😂. Really enjoyed the videoo
I am currently studying Statistics, and I find fun when I understand what I am doing. Everything has a formula, specific steps, ways to be solved, it's fun to be able to solve things that most people don't understand. It's fun when you realize how easy it is, you just have to follow certain steps. It is repeating the same methods over and over again, only with different numbers, units of measurement, results. It makes me very happy to feel smart when I manage to reach the right results. I don´t have to think about the answer, is not something subjective. I'm not creative at all so I enjoy things that don't need my opinion or my vision, it's just a certain way if you know what i mean@@drago5509
@@iara7596 Lack of empathy? Why did you think I asked? I asked that question because I HAVE empathy. I feel bad for anyone currently living in South Africa.
Seeing this makes me wanna be a better student. But I have really tried. I have never tried this hard before. I know I can go harder, but it is difficult for me to adjust immediately. I was a good student in school, but Uni is completely different. Now I'm average in some classes, and even bad in others, but never best. This anxiety is making me feel uneasy. I'm gonna lose it. All my efforts, all my plans. I don't know how I will continue if that thing happens, it would be all my fault. I know it's not the end, but what else can I do? This is my situation, something I have created. I'm not being hard on myself, because while looking at my notes I know I have really tried But it is simply not enough :( At least I'm learning about my limits. I wish I could be smarter, but I know it's different for everyone and it depends of a lot things. I don't know what to do.
Hey @iara7596 , I understand the worry and stress u feel about failing your courses . Maybe you can find teachers / external help / friends to study tgt , the most important part is to find the root cause . You are likely not alone and it’s great that u are still fighting :) there are always many roads , good luck !
When you “take lecture notes” in the morning, do you just look ahead at the notes the professors post and take notes off those before they actually teach/lecture on the content? Is it just so you can get a feel for the content ahead of time? Do you take notes during lectures as well to add to your previous notes?
Really liked this! A good sense of location and the work cycle - but I wondered a) how much time is spent on social media and b) what's the schedule normally over the 'long weekend' ? How much work do you do then?
Hey I don’t mean it in a bad way but I wanted to ask if this is a repost? I would’ve sworn I’ve seen this video before and I just saw you deleted your old videos (I was looking to see if I’d missed any uploads since you haven’t posted in a while I’m not a stalker hahaha)
I'm guessing you're a 2nd year student since you're doing linear algebra. currently a third year myself. i am blessed since i never go to any lectures or seminars but i do watch the lectures afterwards at 2x speed but so far i get around 90-100% for most my modules. not the biggest fan of stats
If you enjoy analysis you might find yourself enjoying statistics once you've been introduced to measure theory, functional analysis etc and their applications to stats :)
I am also a math students in uni but its very hard for me to cope up with the other student I am very disappointed.... If you have any suggestion plz help me...
Hi Wang. I have always been watching your Vlogs. They are informative and I'd wish to learn more. I'm currently doing an MSc within Oncology Department, and a member of Christ Church. If it'll be convenient, we can kindly meet.
I actually went to Oxford a couple of years ago. I remember one summer night in second year, I was at a party and there was this girl there who was really, really drunk. At one point she let out the longest, loudest fart I've ever heard come out of a girl. It smelled so awful as well. It was shocking yet hilarious at the same time, definitely one of my funniest memories from university. Such good, fun times.
