Engineering is hard, and studying for it is very important. So I'm going to give you guys some tips that I used to graduate with a 3.95 and land a job directly out of college. Number one, and probably the most obvious one, and one that I've said a lot of times on this page. Start everything early. Start everything early. I do not say this lightly. You want to start every single assignment you get early. It doesn't matter what it is. It could be a one-page homework assignment. It could be a project that spans half of your semester. No matter what it is, you should start it early. Because the last thing you want to do is get down the line and all these questions and you're like, I wanna clarify this or I'm doing this right. And you don't go and ask those questions. If you start early, you know exactly run into and to respond to them. Number two is primarily for math classes, but it can be used in other classes as well. And that is doing examples on the board. Instead of just copying what they are doing, try to solve the problem before they finish it out. That way you get practice doing doing whatever it is on your own. And you know exactly where you would mess up. And by doing it in class before the professor gets to it, you're able to watch them and you're able to see where you messed up. So that you don't make that mistake on an exam. This is super helpful because you identify your own weak points and you're able to ask questions cause you're still in class. And number three, treat your homeworks like they are exams. So what do I mean by that? Don't do your homeworks just to get them done. It's not I can submit it and it can be done. No, don't look when you're doing your notes. Try to go through all of it. Try to solve everything. Yeah, you might end up wasting time, who knows? But try to go through all of it. And once you're done, go back and check your stuff. Shows you if you actually understand that went on in class earlier. And it also prep for exams in the future. Because now you're not relying on what's in here. You're relying on your own understanding. The earlier you identify the things you struggle with, the easier it'll be for you to go back and say, okay, I need to spend a little more time here. I need to spend a little more time here. And eventually you're gonna understand all I understand. Everybody learns differently. These may not be the best for you, but I really encourage you to try them out, and they may absolutely change your academic career.
