Absolutely amazing Matt! Watching your you tube videos has massively impacted on my essay writing skills. I got 80 in my last one - credit to you. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable knowledge Doctor, such a hidden gem for students. I would like to ask if you have any reading (books for example) recommendations for metacognition? many thanks!
Dear Matt, Akash here from Kellogg now back in the working world. So nice to watch you again. Indeed every bit very valuable to developing our skills. Recently in a casual chat at work place I picked up on a Top Hat saying "Oh his/her capabilities do not match their ambition". I wonder what your thoughts are on such semantics.
Hi Akash, I hope you're well. Thanks for your comment! Sometimes there will be a mismatch between abilities and ambition. I once wanted to fly planes, but I'm half blind, so can't even drive! But when it comes to thinking skills, whilst some people may be 'gifted' with natural acuities, they may take these for granted, and those without such gifts can be way more committed, hard working, and therefore achieve more. I suspect that many people talk themselves down.
Sir I am student of 12th grade from Pakistan.I really enjoy your videos and always trying to listen it with great consideration.when I was in class 9 my teacher asked me to answer the question in the same way as I discussed yesterday I apologized by saying that I can not copy what you told but can define it with my own perspective.after listening to your video i become overwhelmed that yeah i was right to think an individual.Your videos are very much helpful mostly for the people from unprivillaged background.Thums up!
Sir could you please do a video explining written work required for application and what kind of teacher comments and markings you expect? Actually, I am from India and here we don't really have essays assigned so I would be grateful for your guidance on how to tackle sending the written work.
Thanks for your comment. It's very difficult to give general advice on these matters, because it depends on the course you are applying to. You are, however, able to obtain advice from the college you apply to, and the relevant department. That's the best way to proceed.
Discussion rather than direction is the way we orient our tutorials in Oxford. So I can recommend those! Otherwise, I'm not aware of good online discussion forums, but if you know of any please let me know.
Undermine? The word that stops me is, intuitive. Rebecca Hall challenged it. Unfortunately, I think she’s correct. That said, we won’t arrive at fluid like Bruce Lee, instinctive, without Roisin Murphy, slow and deliberate.
I'm glad to see Kahneman getting the recognition he deserves. I picked up his book a few days ago, and it's fascinating!

Fantastic! Thank you for your kind words!
I genuinely can't express just how invaluable and eye opening I have found this video, thank you so much Dr Williams!
You're very welcome!
It is so refreshing to gain excellent knowledge from YT
Thank you!
My Goodness Matt - how I wish their were more educators like you.
Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable knowledge Doctor, such a hidden gem for students. I would like to ask if you have any reading (books for example) recommendations for metacognition? many thanks!
Thanks! There’s “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman
Thank you so much for your wonderful motivation.
Thank you! That's very kind.

Yet another amazing video for those with an open mind
Thanks!

That's very kind of you. Thank you!
Thanks for making this kind of videos. It would be better to write down this lecture in a book or some slides.
Thank you so much, Matt! Great advice for anyone in any life situation.
Thank you!
Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for sharing Dr. Williams! That's really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

Hi, do you have any recommendd videos for the memory technique you referred to? Would love to explore it more. Thanks.
Here's one approach to it that works well: ruclips.net/video/JsC9ZHi79jo/видео.html
Overall, could you recommend classes that are available for the very sake of discussion not direction?
Discussion rather than direction is the way we orient our tutorials in Oxford. So I can recommend those! Otherwise, I'm not aware of good online discussion forums, but if you know of any please let me know.
Portland Oregon got their own flag not so long ago!!!!!!! It’s sooooooooo cooooooool!!!!!!!!!

By this I mean.
Can we be fluid without being slow and deliberate, first?
