I always took consent from professors before I recorded anything. Always make sure that the other person knows that you are recording the discussion. In my case it was almost a norm. Many PhD students would all put their audio recording devices right in front of the professor and go back to their seats. We were all recording the discussions simultaneously. During one-on-one meetings, in fact, my adviser would always ensure that the discussion is being recorded. He asked me to record the discussions. Now do not confuse recording of work related discussions with normal conversations. I am only referring to work related discussions in classes and offices. Hope the privacy and consent related concerns are now put to rest!
Hai Prof, your honesty in admitting your mistakes will help international students to overcome those mistakes. Your videos are really inspirational for the student community. Hats off to you.
I do not check instagram messages sir. I used to early on but then it got flooded with so many messages that I could no longer keep up. Moreover, if I respond once, people think that I will keep on engaging in chats with them regularly. I could have done that too, but when you get thousands of messages, it is not possible. Then when people who got a response earlier, do not get a response again later, they get angry at me. It is not that I do not want to talk or help people. The thing is that I have a full time job to work for. I am only a time pass youtuber. Please watch my video on Cobra effect Sir. I explain it in detail there. I came on RUclips and started making videos only because I was not in a position to help 10-15 students individually. I thought that if I post videos, I can help many more people and won't have to feel guilty of not spending time at an individual level. But instead, the individual messages increased even more. So kindly forgive me if I did not respond to you there. I do not open and see my instagram chat.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor Thanks for responding to my message. I feel grateful. You have a logic behind why people may get frustrated from the chat section because there could be so many chat threads from so many people on Instagram. I reached out because you are slowly inspiring me to continue a Ph.D. in Computer Information System and Management. Recently, I completed my Master's in CS, still playing PubG type game(as you can see from my channel), and working as Software Developer in Austin, Texas. Now my next request is, would you be willing to be my Ph.D. advisor? The level at how you empathize a student's situation is truly invaluable. I will update you soon with a copy of my resume and other details. Thank you. FYI, I want to be the first person to get into Ph.D. from the youtube comment section, LOL. Trying to hustle like you.
Thank you for such a kind message Sir. If you are interested in PhD in Information Systems, you should go for it. That said, I would recommend going for someone better established in the field. An experienced mentor is very valuable. He/She will guide you through research as well as the job market. Being student of a credible established researcher helps a lot. I am still a junior faculty. I do not recommend taking a junior faculty as your dissertation chair.
I wish classes weren't online this semester. Watching your videos made me realize how much fun a classroom setting with you would've been, listening to so much you have to offer. Anyway, happy to be a student this semester in your class at UTA!!
Dr. Sambhara, great content. About conversation recording, hopefully you were in a single party consent state (recording allowed without other person's consent if you are a part of the conversation). But if you are in CA, CT, FL, IL, MD, MA, MT, NH, PA, or WA, the other party must have consented for the recording to be legal! Inter-state communication recording is even more complicated.
Thank you for sharing your experience prof. I think this is really helpful for me as I have all this time on my hands. Going to make good use of this. Have a great day
Nice video sharing your experience. Please share your experience in taking leisure time during masters and PhD programme. How did you spend your time after college hours? What were your hobbies during college days and how it has changed now?
Happy teacher's day sir. Absolutely love your videos. Great content! Please teach us more about managing our finances with low, medium salaries (40K USD and 70K to 90K USD respectively). And how do you manage your finances every month (salary from your teaching job).
My dear Prof CS: It's an amazing presentation. You call those mistakes...eating 2 donuts? Here...talk about 4 or more with Pizza, hamburgers etc. etc...in one sitting... along with good old...daaru. I did all that. Those are good habits actually. (After I read during those times in my M.S. and PhD that one dude had dropped dead during his 5 miles daily run, I quit whatever exercises I was doing sporadically.) Then to my horror...I realized that I not only hated...but abhorred my Engineering jobs to..death. Life didn't make any sense to me. I started writing fiction Novels...during my lunch breaks and down times. I passed the civil service exam and joined the County Government in Social services...Negotiating and writing contracts for grants to non profits. I liked dealing with humans and their issues rather than machines. And... I had gotten my U.S. citizenship.
I a just ordinary India with nothing special in me. What I like in this video was that the professor stressed on prioritizing your health..I am 51 + now and the last time I had a sumptuous ice cream - the last, was in 2001 around 500 ml of it. I recently celebrated my "20 yrs" of not having a complete "sugar laden" ice cream. This is just an example . The only time I don't have a control on my taste buds is - during the mango season. I dont go to any gym or do any rigors work outs - but only a few pull ups and some running/brisk walking 30 mins for 3 to 4 times week. Believe me - if your diet is under control ( more important than doing exercise regularly) - everything is under control. All of you , please eat healthy and stay healthy.. Thank you
Not sure if pilgrimage counts as a waste... it's just master's. Not space science. You came out fine.. We have to motivate people that its ok to Switch off, on regular intervals.
Once the COVID-19 dust settles down, a new order will emerge in the job market, analysts say. Several new jobs in the field of health and hygiene and technology may come up. Is this possible?
Hi Chaitanya, Your videos are good and very informative. Subscribed to your channel and excited to see your videos. If possible try speaking in english completely for people who cannot understand. Thanks, Chandra.
Haha the doughnuts story happend to me, too when coming to USA. For some reason I thought this is the real American experience and I started eating those. Also bagels and cream cheese for breakfast..... Very bad idea
Professor, I'm a civil engineering undergrad currently planning to pursue my master in Finance/(MBA/LLM). If you don't mind...could you please let me know what option above will be best. Also, I'm planning to do the above course from Northeastern University (Boston).Is this a good choice?Moreover I wanted to know your take on it. For this favour of yours,I shall ever remain grateful to you.🙏
Hello, I need an help from your end. I have a diploma in electronic and instrumentation(polytechnic) and I have an 9 experience in different field (IT-Network and Security). Also I have a great family👪. Now I am willing to study but without loosing my job. Is there any possibility ? 😊😊😊😊
Continuing my comment - it will be helpful for most of the students who are new to American educational environment. These videos are helpful for parents to understand the situations your child is going to face eventhough they are not the part of the study process.
Sir I have heard from some of my seniors that it's not beneficial to do ms in ece because international students have limited scope in it .Is it true? Can u clarify sir.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor yes pls. I have joined a counsellor and they kind of just show me uni tied to their classes whereas i dont trust them. How should i look forward to uni other than those? any sites which has uni ranking and are official?
Professor, I heard that recording without the consent of the other person is illegal in the US. I'm not 100% sure though. When I was trying to record a meeting session sometime ago, I was told that I shouldn't do on my own without letting others know.
yes, I always took consent from the professors before I recorded anything. Always make sure that the other person knows that you are recording the discussion.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor So is it really productive these days to take notes on iPad because many students are making videos and showing how digital note taking have transformed their life. I asked because iPads are very expensive to buy, as a student of STEM owning a laptop and then purchasing another iPad becomes very expensive along with the loan for graduate studies.
sorry to say.. but going to pigrimage in own country means you r exploring places.. which adds some feathers in ones lifes experiances. Cannot say.. its wasting time.
I proud to you because you are very true information give for Indian students. Respected sir, Before the visa interview, we have to have an account in a bank in America, it is necessary to have a dollar in it.
Hello Sir my daughter is US citizen by birth 14 year is her age I live in India so you tell me that when will my daughter will sponser us?? What is her age limit?? When we will get Green Card ?? Pls reply me

Love the video professor! You're very humble & honest. Dhanyawad :)
Not sure if pilgrimage counts as a waste... it's just master's. Not space science. You came out fine..
We have to motivate people that its ok to Switch off, on regular intervals.
true that. But all I wanted to say is that had I prepared before starting my masters, I would not have struggled in my first semester
i am watching this video in 2022 while waiting for f1 visa hopefully i would follow positives in this videos very helpful
Mistake 5 is highly underrated
Happy teachers day sir,u r a wonderful teacher.🙏
Once the COVID-19 dust settles down, a new order will emerge in the job market, analysts say. Several new jobs in the field of health and hygiene and technology may come up. Is this possible?
Great suggestion on notes taking. Thank you. Are the transcripts generated from voice memos on iPhone itself or you have used any other software?
Happy teachers day sir.. 🌹🌹🌹
Sir please make a video on how to write supporting documents like Resume/CV, SoP Etc.
Thanks in Advance.

The bureau forecasts that the number of software development jobs will increase by 30%, or 270,900, through 2020.
Seema Rameez Where are you getting that fact?
Great videos and great content. Although, it would help if you could provide timestamps in the description.
If it is possible than plz make tour of your campus

Sir plz make Video on your Struggle of first week as a International Students
Very helpful video!!!
I really respect you Desi prof hope my son gets to meet you and get knowledge from you are realistic
I am from UTA randomly came across your video .
Do universities have a requirement of minimum credits to maintain international student status?
Hey, you are really great 👍
Sir what is the percentage of marks required in bachelor's for MS in USA.
Hello, I need an help from your end.
I have a diploma in electronic and instrumentation(polytechnic) and I have an 9 experience in different field (IT-Network and Security). Also I have a great family👪. Now I am willing to study but without loosing my job. Is there any possibility ?
😊😊😊😊
Yes it is very useful and really I felt that most of the stud
Continuing my comment - it will be helpful for most of the students who are new to American educational environment. These videos are helpful for parents to understand the situations your child is going to face eventhough they are not the part of the study process.
Great work sir
Sir please also make a video on your US immigration journey
I wait for ur videos
Nice tips doctor
Great heart ❤️
Sir why you didn't do master's in electronics and communication engineering?
because I got admission with 100% scholarship in CS at GSU
@@DesiAmericanProfessor that's great sir!!!
Sir I have heard from some of my seniors that it's not beneficial to do ms in ece because international students have limited scope in it .Is it true? Can u clarify sir.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor how did you get the full scholarship sir. What was your punchline?
Sir, I would like to know about how much you earn as a faculty. Please give us approximate figures.
Sir, can u please make a video how not to fall in the trap of consultancies
It is a sensitive topic. But it is a morally correct topic to talk as well. Sure, will do.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor yes pls. I have joined a counsellor and they kind of just show me uni tied to their classes whereas i dont trust them. How should i look forward to uni other than those? any sites which has uni ranking and are official?

Did you do thesis in wireless sensor network ?
yes
@@DesiAmericanProfessor man I also worked on WSN around the same time. It was boring and full of theory. Wasn't it ?
Did you use iPads for notes?
Did not have ipad back then
@@DesiAmericanProfessor So is it really productive these days to take notes on iPad because many students are making videos and showing how digital note taking have transformed their life.
I asked because iPads are very expensive to buy, as a student of STEM owning a laptop and then purchasing another iPad becomes very expensive along with the loan for graduate studies.
sorry to say.. but going to pigrimage in own country means you r exploring places.. which adds some feathers in ones lifes experiances. Cannot say.. its wasting time.
I proud to you because you are very true information give for Indian students.
Respected sir,
Before the visa interview, we have to have an account in a bank in America, it is necessary to have a dollar in it.
no need to have a bank account in USA, in fact having an account in USA could be problematic
