I guess all I can sum it up to is NZ unis tend to be easier. I'm sitting on 6 A+ and 2A from my first year in a different NZ uni. Half of those papers were 200 level too, which are generally taken in the second year. Math and Computer science papers.

I kinda get now why top students are worried about getting "bad grades" like a B. You seem genuine about it, you want to be great at it, you're doing your hardest to be good at it, and the B doesn't cut it. I can respect that.
Same. I am myself not an excellent student (I mostly get B and A, and sometimes A+) but I still understand. To make fun of a top student for getting B is often compared to a spoilt kid crying over a normal car for not getting a lambo, and it should not happen. They are trying to make it perfect, to get a good future, and we should understand them when they feel sad for getting a B
@@theanimationlads7598 True, I haven't considered that. I went back and checked with our school's grading and anything above C- is fine by our grading, although you have to repeat classes between C+ and C- to increase your median if you get it below 2.0 (4.0 being A+, 0.0 being E). There are classes that I've failed, but they've let me take the next years classes because my median was high enough.

I used to do aerospace engineering and my grades were all over the place, from barely passed to okay. during covid I realized that I’d rather pursue psychology with a scandinavian literature minor, now I’m getting straight A+ … think I did the right switch😅

I'm and by now I should've been finishing my masters but life happened and covid/loss certainly didn't help. My grades are roughly 25/30 (Italian uni) so they're pretty average.

You crushed uni!!! Great job!!! And you are already using your learnings through these RUclips videos, which obviously require a certain high level of academic knowledge!
My 2nd semester was also the best, and it all went downhill from there. Second year first semester was my worst, got a C in one course because I was very stressed that semester. My first and only C, but also a bunch of B's, B+'s, and B-'s. My last few years weren't much better. I peaked in second semester of first year. Also as an Asian I haven't shared my grades with family after first year because of the B's and that one C, if they saw that C they'd be like 'we never want to C you ever again'
I got my degree at the same university and same department as Neil Armstrong. One day I had a professor show us something from the University archives...it was one of Neil's reports for his senior design project. He got a C and "rather incomplete" was written at the top. And yet he went to the moon!
I've seen your Einstein and Tesla grades videos so seeing this one was a real treat. I'm really enjoying your channel. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your journey. It was nice to see you smiling as you reflected on the time you spent earning these impressive grades. Greetings from Switzerland!
Grades doesn't mean anything. You can retain and regurgitate whole encyclopedias of knowledge/information, and even understand all of it, but question, how do you apply it? Without those things, Its like having a souped up ferrari (nice to have with SO much potential) but only remains potential, useless, if you can't go anywhere with it / doesn't move....... Your probably sick of hearing this name, but Nikola Tesla had both.
Yeah, Tibees voice has this comforting calmness and elegance. First voice that made me feel absolutely relaxed in an instant. Her voice creates this sensation of safety and bliss. Hard to describe this accurately. Pretty amazing. :p I was also wondering if it was just me imagining things, but apparently that's not the case.
I currently have all A’s 4.0 gpa as a pure mathematics major in my first year of university. Hopefully I can keep this up and have my transcript look like yours.
@@shmooveyea My school doesn't have +'s or -'s. A 90% is the same as 100%, a 4.0. I have a 4.0 GPA as well, but it would probably be like 3.9ish at most other schools tbh
Toby, just want to give a big THANK YOU for your transparency about your academic career/life in your videos. Your experiences and perspectives are tremendously valuable to me as a student trying to figure my life out, and I know many others here feel the same.
Most impressed by your honesty and humilty,even before i saw your grades,i thought you had a good grasp and explanatory manner, when explaining physical principles, which i found refreshing. Seeing your grades ,you're an impressive woman,you havent failed.Your channel is excellent.
First semester in undergrad physics I failed two classes (Classical Mechanics I and Intro to mathematical analysis) and I was devastated... I'd never failed a class in my life, in fact I had like 100% perfect grades elementary school through high school. In hindsight it was quite humbling but I did get pretty depressed for a while. Then I started caring more about learning and enjoying uni and my grades have been better since.
Unfortunately, the school system has adopted a "no-one can fail" attitude. I know of people who did very well in senior highschool, but dropped out of university studies (in their favourite subjects at school) because their first semester grades were very poor.
That probably means you're an above average learner since you didn't have to learn much for high school and the transition to uni just started off quite roughly but on the other hand it means you probably have to put in less effort than most other people, you just had to get into the groove of things. No need to worry or be hard on yourself and all the best to you and your future academical endeavors.
@@geromep5383 hey man these things are almost arbitrary what matters is learning from failure that's the only way we become better not by lying to oursleves :)
Some look at it as pressure. Some look at it as focus and drive like a musician practicing for hours, like a soccer player working really hard to get a penalty shot right, like Karim with his hook shot.
My grades sucked... then again, I was depressed and suicidal for most of my school life. Still am sometimes, but not suicidal. And I consider that a passing grade.
I was doing well at school, but had no social life, which kinda resulted in a major depression at the start of my uni life lol. But I moved out now and it's getting better, my grades are like my late school days again :P
Same here man, but somehow I’m keeping a 3.6 and I’m currently a junior. I’m super depressed because I honestly hate what I’m doing and I don’t know if I should quit or continue. If I quit my parents would be so disappointed
And that's why I try to avoid suicidal thought by studying, ngl I think when your day is busy you can't even to think something else especially suicidal thought. And yeah I do empathize with you since I had this thought since 11/12 years old (so it's almost 8 years ago)
@@thomasradford9830 Still a better choice than staying. Better to waste some money than to waste your life doing something you have no interest in. And what's with those baseless accusations?
@@joshuak4599 how is that a better choice than staying?? all it takes is a simple program switch and you could study anything you want, or alternatively, put in extra work so you don't "fail everything".
@@thomasradford9830 Because you might not know what you want to do with your life. You could end up making the same mistake and wasting even more money on course material having found out your new programme doesn't suit you either. Sometimes it's best to just take a break and take some time for self-discovery. There are many reasons for people's choices. It doesn't take much imagination to think of some.
Exactly, waste of time courses such Art History, Archaeology, Egyptian Grammar among MANY others... like WHY? All I wanted to major on was on Molecular and Cell Biology but had to take all these to meet requirements.
Once you get to university, they cut the unnecessary classes out.. I'm doing my BS in Physics rn and I've been awake all night🥴. No more elective classes.
Tibees, you are absolutely an amazing mind. Receiving “A”s is quite the compliment to one’s mindset and feelings of societal worth. It can become part of ones self-image to the extent that anything deviating from “A” can feel like an embarrassment. It is good to remember that grades based on test scores and subjective scores on papers are only samples at a specific time in life. In actuality, we can have our whole lifetime to learn what we wish to know, and this makes life all the more interesting. Also, knowledge is useful, but the right use of knowledge is wisdom and powerful. What uses and projects for the knowledge you have do you think are worthy of your time? Ultimately, we have a limited lifespan, so it gets down to what we value: such things as preservation of the human species, vs. expanding human knowledge, vs. entertaining, vs. enhancing human efficiency and preservation of the environment, etc. Education is preparation to do something with one’s life. However, we don’t always land where we had planned. Whatever you apply your mind too, I’m sure will be benefited. Make it a good life!
@@roobs4451 hey time traveler , tell me one thing please ! Do we have The same education system (craming) in the future as well ? Coz it would be simply THE END of earth 😒
Awesome work! I know how much of a difference how you feel about your course can make a difference in your grades. My first degree I wasn't as excited about and got a wide variety of grades. The degree I'm doing now (and will hopefully finish in 2 months!) I'm enjoying much more and getting far better grades in
huge difference here is an A on her scale is as low as 80%, Over here that's a B. And at my old university 70% is one of the cutoff points for being forced to retake a course.
That means the standards for achievement of those marks is different. A 80% at different universities will not be equivalent, the standard of work needed will be different and so that's reflected in the grade boundaries.
You young students keep getting it wrong! In the US, 70% is a weak performance. That's like a bottom 10% or so. In the UK or UK patterned system, 70% at Oxford in the UK is a big achievement, but in America it's near the bottom. The problem with your school is GRADE INFLATION. Simple and straight - and this is the problem with almost ALL US universities
If you guys look at her grade scale, you can see that it actually differs from most American ones. Her A+ is the entire A range for most schools in the US and her normal A is around a B+. Finally the B+ is a C+ in the US and if you can sort of understand the system she was upset because a B is equivalent to a C in using ur system. Also don’t get me wrong her grades are still astounding though I hope this clears some things up. Edit: Also for people wondering how she got into college at 17, it is because that is the age that I know people in the UK go to college so she might be in the UK or Canada though I don’t fully understand their school system. If Tibees sees this comment just know that I envy your school system since you can learn advanced subjects faster.
@@honkhonk8009 It's not the same as the US. I currently go to public university in the US. The scale is: A+: 97.5 - 100% A: 92.5 - 97.4% A-: 90.0 - 92.4% B+: 87.5 - 89.9% B: 82.5 - 87.4% B- : 80.0 - 82.4% C+ : 77.5 - 79.9% C: 70.0 - 77.4% D: 60.0 - 69.9% F: 0 - 59.9% They're still very good grades, of course.
You were an amazing student Tibees!! I would have loved to have met you at the university and study with you in order to learn a lot!! Congratulations!! Onnittelut in Finnish!!
Reading the script before the lecture is something I'd also recommend anyone. The actual lecture goes from being hard to follow to being just a recap-session.
Those are terrific grades, Toby - you have every right to be proud of your efforts! At 11:38 you talk about not going out, etc, while doing your undergraduate course. This was my experience, too, and sometimes I wanted to go out but there was work to be done. I beg to differ at 10:59 regarding no-one really being interested in grades at the end of one's degree - my first and second employer (within my first year after graduating at an engineer) were very interested in my grades. However; since then, no-one has been interested as it's the experience which counts more.
Thank you for this inspirational video. This gave me the motivation I needed. Also, I totally agree with you on seeing working hard not as sacrificing.
I'm at UC now taking a BSc in Math/Comp sci so its really cool to hear about your experiences :) I'm only first year but finding MATH120 to be where I really get into it, the pure math is very cool and like nothing I've encountered before. I'm also looking forward to COSC122 over the summer, Tim is still teaching it so you probably had him too! Thanks for the videos, very great to hear about your journey and experience with courses ill be taking soon :)
Wooow this is so different from my experience. I am also a physicist in Mexico, but its so diferent from yourself. First I took 6 years to graduate jajajaja it "should" take 4 years, but I know only 2 people that where able to do that, and the reason for this is that here we took 2 electrodinamic curses, 2 quantum mechanic curses, 3 mathimatical method curses, 4 math courses, an statistical thermodinamic course, 3 experimantl fisics, and other stuff! It feels like we covered a lot, but now that I am studying my masters degree after a 2 year break (becouse litteraly my university broke me mentaly) I would think that a more humane and much less robotic way of teaching, such as in your college, would be much better. I think many people stop loving the phyisics and start liking the pain. But coodoes to you! you where such a good student! Congratulations!
Good job 👍🏻 these are grades you should be proud of. Surprised that it takes only 3 years in Australia to complete Bachelors degree as opposed to 4. Work load in every semester is huge . I don’t think it’s good for the students mental health if I am honest. Best of luck in your future endeavors 👍🏻 I am currently 3rd year Chemical Engineering student.
AFAIK, in Aus & NZ like in UK you'd need to have done 2 years of A level to even get into Uni. That's worth a good year off the start of a degree course. For instance, in A level Math you'd learn differential and integral calculus, linear algebra etc. In the English system you either leave at 16 after O level (called GCSE these days) or stay to 18 and do 3 or 4 subjects at A level.
It depends on the country too. In the U.K. B is a pretty good grade . A+ is never or almost never seen. That said her grades are nothing short of extraordinary.
Set high standards for yourself. Persevere. ( One of the more difficult things in life, is teaching someone to believe in themselves. Another? Staying humble through success.) Good luck.
Very impressive! Particularly impressive that you did so well in both experimentally and theoretically oriented classes. Also wonderful that you stuck out that partial differential equations class.
funny how the courses you took in your second year, are literally all the courses of my very first year of bachelor studies... - last words from a depressed CS major and Physics minor student studying in Europe
What's rly surprising to me is that she is able to complete a double major in just 3 years. Here in America, half my classes I'm required to take are general education courses unrelated to my major and it's gonna take me 4 years at least just to graduate with one degree.
When it’s all said and done it’s going to take me 5 years to get a bachelors in physics and astronomy and a minor in math. But to be fair I started my physics major late.
What I find most impressive is the scope of coursework and the consistently high marks when taking a full load and doing much more outside of class. I did well as an undergraduate, but aside from some summers when I worked and carried a very light course load, I never had nearly the distractions that Tobey had.
Me before uni : "I'm gonna try hard and excel through my degree." Me at uni : "one extra year might not be a bad idea..." Tibee : "While I was a student, I didn't really go out, I didn't party." Me : "oh, me neither..."
Universities in New Zealand are quite interesting in terms of the system. It’s so cool to have other branches of science in your degree like computer science. In England is very specialized, if you pick English you just do English for 3 years and that’s it.
It's unfair to compare an English UG course with a Maths degree. Engineering has evolved from pure sciences and more or less is an extension of it. In my college students of both CSE (IT) BTech and BSc Mathematics study same mathematics concepts and even attend workshops and seminars on AI and advanced computational techniques. I'm Indian and our current education system is equivalent to the British model some half a century ago. Trust me you guys have it way better.
Even in your worst semester, you got amazing grades. In my worst semester I got 2 7's (the equivalent would be C i guess) and I still thought I did pretty good 😩
@@Vemy ahaha I self taught too. My teacher is worse than me in English, my grades probably are going to get lower just because of his mistakes in making the tests. Right now, I want to learn Japanese. School is so stressful, those homeworks ;-; I hope education system will get better in the future. School is supposed do be fun and just a little bit stressful (right amount of stress) because it actually helps you learn but if the stress is too much it's bad for you because you just become "lazy" what I mean is that you become anxious and if you're anxious it's just hard to start something (procrastinate)
I'm confused by the paradigm of a 100 point system...where I'm at in US it's a four point scale for every class 3.4-4 is an A, 2.7-3.39 B, 2-2.69 C, I'm not sure what the D-F cut-off is
That's so cool, I never knew you from New Zealand, I recently enrolled for the science course at Canterbury as well, major in physics and maths with plans to do a master's degree
I'm currently studying for my applied radiation physics exam as part of the RANZCR Radiology training program. Came across this channel and found it intriguing that someone would share their grades. Then the photos of UC and Tekapo....I lived in Ilam right next Uni Hall in 2012 coming from Otago to start clinical rotations at the christchurch clinical campus. We didn't have a library or study spaces at the clinical campus due to the earthquakes. I'd spent almost every evening UC's main library leeching its warmth to save money on power and grab a comfortable spot to study. And the Mt John picture....Camping every year in tekapo with a mandatory midnight hike up Mt John was a ritual. Thank you for sharing this video and in particular the photos of UC/Christchurch and Tekapo. It was a pleasant surprise and brings back so many good memories as well as a little sadness thinking back to simpler times.
Being a victim of insatiable curiosity I could never focus on any one area. RUclips fills that bill quite nicely. Thanks for the humble display of your higher education results.
Interesting that you don't have any humanities or liberal arts classes.. When I went to "university" in the US we were required to take about 20% of our classes that were in humanities, arts, social studies and science (outside our major).
idk if it's a way to squeeze more tuition money out of students, but my uni forces all science students to take a certain amount of arts/humanities/writing credits that I think account for ~10-15% of our degree? When Toby said that her uni actually "allows" students to take credits outside of their degree I was a bit surprised. that and seeing her transcript which is made up almost entirely of courses relevant to her degree lmao
To be fair, I also studied math and I did not need to do anything beyond Engl 1 and 2. My sister studied Biology and she only had to do 1 humanities course. She took some 'politically radical' electives tho as did I. I actually did alot of theatre acting and started a Trans-support group but I never needed to take any credits for it. Being forced to take tons of lib arts courses is not true in my experience. I also don't like the our American attitude of delegitimizing higher ed. coming from people who are literally going to college. If you are attending/attended Uni with that mindset, it just tells me you are gonna be chronically underemployed after graduation.
It's a trade off, in the us you get bird courses so your semester are not overloaded, but it cost more. Or 3 years of doing 5 math classes a semester (for a math major for example).
I go to a university in Australia that does that. I liked it, as it was helpful to see what else I was interested in. However it obviously isn't as helpful to people who are super set on what they are doing. So I'd be careful writing it off as a ploy or as straight up bad, it has pros and cons.

I used to do aerospace engineering and my grades were all over the place, from barely passed to okay. during covid I realized that I’d rather pursue psychology with a scandinavian literature minor, now I’m getting straight A+ … think I did the right switch😅
Well done for finding what works for you!
Switched from Engineering to Philosophy and Psychology, never looked back.
Yep I'm finishing my bachelors in aerospace engineering a year late. I have 3 exams left (in September). I'm and by now I should've been finishing my masters but life happened and covid/loss certainly didn't help. My grades are roughly 25/30 (Italian uni) so they're pretty average. Can't wait to start my masters, it'll be a fresh start and will actually study this time.

My 2nd semester was also the best, and it all went downhill from there. Second year first semester was my worst, got a C in one course because I was very stressed that semester. My first and only C, but also a bunch of B's, B+'s, and B-'s. My last few years weren't much better. I peaked in second semester of first year.
Also as an Asian I haven't shared my grades with family after first year because of the B's and that one C, if they saw that C they'd be like 'we never want to C you ever again'
I got my degree at the same university and same department as Neil Armstrong. One day I had a professor show us something from the University archives...it was one of Neil's reports for his senior design project. He got a C and "rather incomplete" was written at the top.

8:24 honestly if my grades were as good as these I'd print it on a t-shirt.
First semester in undergrad physics I failed two classes (Classical Mechanics I and Intro to mathematical analysis) and I was devastated... I'd never failed a class in my life, in fact I had like 100% perfect grades elementary school through high school. In hindsight it was quite humbling but I did get pretty depressed for a while. Then I started caring more about learning and enjoying uni and my grades have been better since.
Unfortunately, the school system has adopted a "no-one can fail" attitude.
I know of people who did very well in senior highschool, but dropped out of university studies (in their favourite subjects at school) because their first semester grades were very poor.
@@vk2ig write this as a comment. This needs more likes and needs to be seen by everyone. If you don't do it, then I will kill you
That probably means you're an above average learner since you didn't have to learn much for high school and the transition to uni just started off quite roughly but on the other hand it means you probably have to put in less effort than most other people, you just had to get into the groove of things. No need to worry or be hard on yourself and all the best to you and your future academical endeavors.
Im finishing high school in few months, I also have always had good grades, and now I'm scared stiff of going to uni:(
@@geromep5383 hey man these things are almost arbitrary what matters is learning from failure that's the only way we become better not by lying to oursleves :)
I can’t imagine the pressure she put on herself to reach those grades.
Like she said, she enjoyed the process of hard work.
Some look at it as pressure. Some look at it as focus and drive like a musician practicing for hours, like a soccer player working really hard to get a penalty shot right, like Karim with his hook shot.
Easier than u'd think if u just minmax the work u put in for each class
My grades sucked... then again, I was depressed and suicidal for most of my school life.
Still am sometimes, but not suicidal. And I consider that a passing grade.
When one has some depression keeping your feet above ground is a passing grade.
Thankfully my mom is supportive regardless of my grades. This year I suddenly dropped to a C student after being an A student all these years
I was doing well at school, but had no social life, which kinda resulted in a major depression at the start of my uni life lol. But I moved out now and it's getting better, my grades are like my late school days again :P
Same here man, but somehow I’m keeping a 3.6 and I’m currently a junior. I’m super depressed because I honestly hate what I’m doing and I don’t know if I should quit or continue. If I quit my parents would be so disappointed
And that's why I try to avoid suicidal thought by studying, ngl I think when your day is busy you can't even to think something else especially suicidal thought. And yeah I do empathize with you since I had this thought since 11/12 years old (so it's almost 8 years ago)
I was rather disillusioned at Uni and failed everything. Nothing really caught my interest so dropped out 😢
I'm feeling that now tbh

Tibees, you are absolutely an amazing mind. Receiving “A”s is quite the compliment to one’s mindset and feelings of societal worth. It can become part of ones self-image to the extent that anything deviating from “A” can feel like an embarrassment. It is good to remember that grades based on test scores and subjective scores on papers are only samples at a specific time in life. In actuality, we can have our whole lifetime to learn what we wish to know, and this makes life all the more interesting. Also, knowledge is useful, but the right use of knowledge is wisdom and powerful. What uses and projects for the knowledge you have do you think are worthy of your time? Ultimately, we have a limited lifespan, so it gets down to what we value: such things as preservation of the human species, vs. expanding human knowledge, vs. entertaining, vs. enhancing human efficiency and preservation of the environment, etc. Education is preparation to do something with one’s life. However, we don’t always land where we had planned. Whatever you apply your mind too, I’m sure will be benefited. Make it a good life!

Awesome work! I know how much of a difference how you feel about your course can make a difference in your grades. My first degree I wasn't as excited about and got a wide variety of grades. The degree I'm doing now (and will hopefully finish in 2 months!) I'm enjoying much more and getting far better grades in
All the best! I hope you finish well and go on to be happy. God bless your vocation.
huge difference here is an A on her scale is as low as 80%, Over here that's a B. And at my old university 70% is one of the cutoff points for being forced to retake a course.
That means the standards for achievement of those marks is different. A 80% at different universities will not be equivalent, the standard of work needed will be different and so that's reflected in the grade boundaries.
You young students keep getting it wrong! In the US, 70% is a weak performance. That's like a bottom 10% or so. In the UK or UK patterned system, 70% at Oxford in the UK is a big achievement, but in America it's near the bottom. The problem with your school is GRADE INFLATION. Simple and straight - and this is the problem with almost ALL US universities

If you guys look at her grade scale, you can see that it actually differs from most American ones. Her A+ is the entire A range for most schools in the US and her normal A is around a B+. Finally the B+ is a C+ in the US and if you can sort of understand the system she was upset because a B is equivalent to a C in using ur system. Also don’t get me wrong her grades are still astounding though I hope this clears some things up.
Edit: Also for people wondering how she got into college at 17, it is because that is the age that I know people in the UK go to college so she might be in the UK or Canada though I don’t fully understand their school system. If Tibees sees this comment just know that I envy your school system since you can learn advanced subjects faster.
I thought the same but at the start, she shows her grade scale to %.
Also shes from New Zealand, which explains why its the same as the US.
@@honkhonk8009 It's not the same as the US. I currently go to public university in the US. The scale is:
A+: 97.5 - 100%
A: 92.5 - 97.4%
A-: 90.0 - 92.4%
B+: 87.5 - 89.9%
B: 82.5 - 87.4%

C+ : 77.5 - 79.9%

Those are terrific grades, Toby - you have every right to be proud of your efforts!
At 11:38 you talk about not going out, etc, while doing your undergraduate course. This was my experience, too, and sometimes I wanted to go out but there was work to be done. I beg to differ at 10:59 regarding no-one really being interested in grades at the end of one's degree - my first and second employer (within my first year after graduating at an engineer) were very interested in my grades. However; since then, no-one has been interested as it's the experience which counts more.

Wooow this is so different from my experience. I am also a physicist in Mexico, but its so diferent from yourself. First I took 6 years to graduate jajajaja it "should" take 4 years, but I know only 2 people that where able to do that, and the reason for this is that here we took 2 electrodinamic curses, 2 quantum mechanic curses, 3 mathimatical method curses, 4 math courses, an statistical thermodinamic course, 3 experimantl fisics, and other stuff!
It feels like we covered a lot, but now that I am studying my masters degree after a 2 year break (becouse litteraly my university broke me mentaly) I would think that a more humane and much less robotic way of teaching, such as in your college, would be much better. I think many people stop loving the phyisics and start liking the pain.
But coodoes to you! you where such a good student! Congratulations!
Good job 👍🏻 these are grades you should be proud of. Surprised that it takes only 3 years in Australia to complete Bachelors degree as opposed to 4. Work load in every semester is huge . I don’t think it’s good for the students mental health if I am honest. Best of luck in your future endeavors 👍🏻 I am currently 3rd year Chemical Engineering student.
My engineering degree was 4 and it was packed, back to back lectures, tutes labs. I think science degrees are only 3. Engineering all 4-5.
AFAIK, in Aus & NZ like in UK you'd need to have done 2 years of A level to even get into Uni. That's worth a good year off the start of a degree course. For instance, in A level Math you'd learn differential and integral calculus, linear algebra etc. In the English system you either leave at 16 after O level (called GCSE these days) or stay to 18 and do 3 or 4 subjects at A level.

What's rly surprising to me is that she is able to complete a double major in just 3 years. Here in America, half my classes I'm required to take are general education courses unrelated to my major and it's gonna take me 4 years at least just to graduate with one degree.
That's why school here is so expensive
When it’s all said and done it’s going to take me 5 years to get a bachelors in physics and astronomy and a minor in math. But to be fair I started my physics major late.
It’s a great relief When she said anything above ‘D’ is pass!
What I find most impressive is the scope of coursework and the consistently high marks when taking a full load and doing much more outside of class.

Universities in New Zealand are quite interesting in terms of the system. It’s so cool to have other branches of science in your degree like computer science. In England is very specialized, if you pick English you just do English for 3 years and that’s it.
It's unfair to compare an English UG course with a Maths degree. Engineering has evolved from pure sciences and more or less is an extension of it. In my college students of both CSE (IT) BTech and BSc Mathematics study same mathematics concepts and even attend workshops and seminars on AI and advanced computational techniques.

Interesting that you don't have any humanities or liberal arts classes.. When I went to "university" in the US we were required to take about 20% of our classes that were in humanities, arts, social studies and science (outside our major).
tibees didn't study black womens ethnic art history? racist! unsubscribe
idk if it's a way to squeeze more tuition money out of students, but my uni forces all science students to take a certain amount of arts/humanities/writing credits that I think account for ~10-15% of our degree? When Toby said that her uni actually "allows" students to take credits outside of their degree I was a bit surprised. that and seeing her transcript which is made up almost entirely of courses relevant to her degree lmao
To be fair, I also studied math and I did not need to do anything beyond Engl 1 and 2. My sister studied Biology and she only had to do 1 humanities course. She took some 'politically radical' electives tho as did I. I actually did alot of theatre acting and started a Trans-support group but I never needed to take any credits for it. Being forced to take tons of lib arts courses is not true in my experience.
I also don't like the our American attitude of delegitimizing higher ed. coming from people who are literally going to college. If you are attending/attended Uni with that mindset, it just tells me you are gonna be chronically underemployed after graduation.
It's a trade off, in the us you get bird courses so your semester are not overloaded, but it cost more. Or 3 years of doing 5 math classes a semester (for a math major for example).
I go to a university in Australia that does that. I liked it, as it was helpful to see what else I was interested in. However it obviously isn't as helpful to people who are super set on what they are doing.
So I'd be careful writing it off as a ploy or as straight up bad, it has pros and cons.
