3:55 wanted to clarify, I didn't mean that marks don't matter at all and you shouldn't work hard. Instead, I realized that I shouldn't constantly worry about trying to get high marks, which is a stark contrast to what I did in high school. Obviously, having high marks is beneficial (especially for grad school, research positions, jobs sometimes), but I'm not worrying about it as much as I did in high school. Hence, my poor performance on the midterm didn't bother me too much after I realized this haha
2 years ago I stopped learning for school. That includes maths, geography, history etc. My max grades were 5 and still are. But why did I do this? Well I dedicated all my time to scripting. And here I am, 2 years later, coding in python, at 16 years old. It would be impossible to take such risk by a normal person, that might be because I dont really have a family. My mom devorced and my dad works outside of the country. I dont recomment to do what Im doing, since I risked all I had to reach the level I am now. Im still not the best at it, but Im improving by the time goes on. Great video, hope you have a good day! Dont try this at home :)
Most stuff is curved in college and you’re competing with people at your relative intellect or higher. It happens just gotta push through and enjoy your time at school
I did shit on my Math137 and Math135 midterms and I was really stressed about it but then I watched “Inside Out”. That movie really changed my life. Now I do shit in all my courses but with positivity in my mind. positive that I am always going to do shit in all my courses. So it is okay to bomb any exams as long as we know that it is the best we could pull of.
Thank you for being so candid :) You helped me realize I am not alone and that it is ok to fail! Would love to see a video on side projects and prep fr coop in the future!
I think everyone has failed a Calculus test at least once. That's part of the University experience. Failed Calc I . Retook it, passed, then went on to get an A+ in Calc II and Calc III. High school just really does not prepare you.
My first failed midterm was Calculus 1. I got 40(it was my first semester) ... Percentage that didn't pass was around 30+ median 64. It was devastating and my morale plummeted to the ground. Some guys are left my major(EE ) and gone to study something else . But I survived this and other failed finals/midterms and finished my degree just fine. So keep pushing guys what doesn't kill you makes you stronger especially in a STEM degree.
Calculus and Physics were the hardest classes I took at the university. I haven't used any of it at my programming jobs but it does give you confidence that you can solve anything.
failed a course last year so i'll be retaking this fall! I'm definitely gonna go into like I nvr took it before to learn what I need this time around to pass. All in all though, this course is very low level working with hardware which is why I prolly failed the first time :/ hopefully it turns around after this fall semester
I remember the first IT exam I bonked. It felt like the world was ending. I was mortified. My professor actually reached out to me and helped me through my shortcomings. Honestly, I think I’m better because of it.
Thankyou so much for ur motivation I needed this alot♥️i failed my maths Coaching test and now the students who failed...there will be extra classes for them in which I never wanted to go😭 Anyways thanks a lot for ur motivation. It's just a test not the end of world💜
For perspective, I've failed not just a test but a whole class in college. I now work as a SDE and don't even think about that. So to anyone reading this just know that college doesn't matter as much as you might be thinking it does at the time. 10-20 years from now you won't even think about college when you're working.
Indeed, failing only one time is literarily nothing, finals matter. As a NYU CS major rising sophomore, I have to say calculus is the easiest math course sinceI studied high school math, especially if you take Chinese Gaokao… GPA in our Chinese eyes is a huge deal, but it’s not too important if you don’t want to attend grads school
Yeah marks never mattered. Graduated with a 2.7. Got a good understanding of my career path and spam applied for jobs. Haven't really used anything I learned in school and had to re-learn everything if I needed it anyways. Confused why people obsessed.
4:15 - Completely agreed. I recently graduated with a BS in biochemistry and minor in applied math. However for the longest time I thought I wouldn't be able to graduate at all. In my first couple years of Uni I got diagnosed with Crohn's disease which meant I had to withdraw and retake many classes due to multiple surgeries and poor health. I despaired because I felt like I was making little progress academically and my GPA was barely acceptable (was put on academic probation one quarter and almost quit entirely). Taking tests was really hard for me as I needed to go the bathroom frequently due to my condition and my abdomen hurt like a MF due to all the stress. The turning point for me was actually getting accepted for research positions. That is when I realized good marks don't mean shit. When you are in a work / research position all that matters is your ability to accomplish tasks given to you in a timely manner, solve problems / issues pragmatically, and integrating well in a team environment. Paradoxically I also started to do better in all my subsequent classes despite the additional work load. I was unburdened since I knew I could do the practical work, which really helped with my mindset. I started to also enjoy my classes instead of fixating on exams. I was still worried about my GPA in terms of Grad school, however from what I understand GPA and exams like GREs are poor predictors for graduate strudent success. If you have recommendations from your PI / mentors / professors and a large body of work such as research / internships / papers you still have a really good chance in terms of acceptance. I am still working with my lab post graduation as a paid research assistant and will probably stay on for a couple years. I also received a lab t-shirt with my name on the back with all the other long time members. Probably one of the happiest moments of my life. In comparison graduation felt like a formality (didn't help that the online ceremony was lame as heck). University should only be a means to finding work you truly enjoy, not a validation of your competence or intelligence via a numeric grade.
I needed to hear this. Today was my last day of school in grade 12 and because I had the Biggest Prick of a teacher he dropped my mark 11% because I screwed a tiny question up, I did all the work right and just didn’t graph it correctly. There’s more to why I’m pissed off. But I guess I can get into to University and focus on actually learning and enjoying that instead of basing my intelligence off of my grade that’s low all because I had a Terribly Mean teacher.
I totally sympathize with you at 1:30. When I did my introductory physics midterm I sorta said fuck it and started it without studying. God, it felt good to get it done but I gave up studying. It was a timed exam with a time window of about a week to do it. This was like on a Friday, I’d just done my chem midterm and I wanted to get it done, so I yolo’d.
Hey bro can you help me out telling how many semesters has in per year for engineering student at Waterloo university! Is it 2 or 3? Actually I wanna know hoy many times need pay tuition fee in every year ? Thanks in advance 🙏
It depends on the year. Some years, you'll have 2 study terms and 1 work term, so you'd pay for 2 terms of tuition (at 2 separate times, unless you have 2 study terms in a row during first year, then you'd pay for those 2 terms at once). Some years, you'll have 1 study term and 2 work terms, so you'd pay for 1 term of tuition.
No we are not thinking about why you didnt take a nap, we are thinking why didnt you use any math app to solve your question like mathaway or photomath
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I'm from ECE at UofT so I'm not sure if we take the similar calculus courses, but I remember failing my Calc 1 midterm as well. It's definitely a big adjustment from high school so it's important to have a little more compassion for yourself. Now that I've finished Calc 2 and Calc 3, I can tell you that it does get easier as you pick up more stuff along the way, good luck!
Yeah it was, I didn’t do horrible on the midterm but it wasn’t fantastic either… Ended with 80 on the course so pretty consistent throughout the semester I guess
I like your takeaway message. It can be really tough to proceed after a setback. I think students can be afraid to say something didn't go perfectly as well, but failures and setbacks are part of how we learn and grow! Good luck with your future studies. 😊
When i was in school people who ace midterms flunk out. I failed my 2nd yr anatomy class but was in honours by the time i graduated. Its really good to recognize that there are certain ways that subjects can be studied which makes it more enjoyable and fortuitous
At my university, theory of computations(a required class) had an 80% fail rate. Its weights were 40 final, 30 midterm, and 30 hw....there were 3 homeworks total. Failing happens.
@@Tempshadow lol that's too funny because our professor did the exact same thing. He mentioned them like 293874 times but never covered that topic at all. It was mainly just CFG's/DFA's/NFA's
As you go through software engineering jobs more you'll have this sunken feeling of failing multiple times, and continuously. It's great that you've learned the lesson earlier on. I hope you'll get to work with companies that also share the same embrace of failing as precious learning opportunities
I wish i had exams like that. We open cams in exams, there is a teacher watching us and they give really limited time for questions :( especially coding exams are just painful like that
Hey man. I’m in the double degree and I know that the 137 midterm was also hard. Like it might’ve been some time management issues but it was also really hard. I’m glad you learnt and did better. We should run study sessions next term ✊🏽
midterm 39 = final ~90; midterm ~90= final 80+. Good job 137, you make it so fair. The most wonderful thing 137 did was let so many guys who earned an average of 98~100 before the final receive their total mark from 90~92. The highest total mark I know is 95, and this guy had an average of 100 before the final, which means he got 84 in the final (almost same for those whose mark was 90~92). No one I know got ~90 in the final exam. What a nice and fair course. LOL
@@SweatySockGaming The course content is easy. The quizzes are challenging for those who don't have a solid understanding of limits. It is unfair cuz even if you have a high score of 98 before the final exam, you may finally get 90 to 92 as your final marks. ( A lot of guys have a final mark of ~90, which means your hard work didn't work as it could be)
I had the same experience writing a math midterm on 1 hour of sleep. Was so tired I fixated on 1 question for the majority of my time and then just gave up. I think I'll try and sleep before the final.
I been watching some of ur videos and they help me a lot. manly is because I am studying computer engineering at York I can relate to some of the things you going through. But ur videos help me to look at the right path and motivate me to learn more about my major. so thank you 🙏
I’m currently a senior in Surrey B.C, and am also applying to Waterloo CS, however, it has come to me that even in high school, despite grades being relatively important in senior year, your excellent perspective on “learning > Marks,” should be the perspective that current and future high school students should consider as well, what are your thoughts?
That's an interesting question because marks matter a lot when applying to university. I guess it really depends on the programs you're applying to. Some programs require mid 90s, so in that case, high marks would be important. However, some programs might have a cutoff at 90 and mainly focus on your supplementary application. In that case, marks aren't too important, as long as you are above the cutoff. Since there are diminishing returns when it comes to marks (ie much more work and time is required to get from, say a 92 to a 97, compared to an 80 to an 85), one could focus on learning and the supplementary application, rather than trying to get a few extra marks, as long as they are above the cutoff. Learning is always important (that's the point of school), but high marks are essential for some programs. It's up to each student to determine how much they value learning compared to marks.

Some programs require mid 90s, so in that case, high marks would be important. However, some programs might have a cutoff at 90 and mainly focus on your supplementary application. In that case, marks aren't too important, as long as you are above the cutoff. Since there are diminishing returns when it comes to marks (ie much more work and time is required to get from, say a 92 to a 97, compared to an 80 to an 85), one could focus on learning and the supplementary application, rather than trying to get a few extra marks, as long as they are above the cutoff.
Learning is always important (that's the point of school), but high marks are essential for some programs. It's up to each student to determine how much they value learning compared to marks.
