Grades.

The person you explain in this video is me, I went to high school, dropped out. I got into a program to get my diploma and realize how much I really liked math. I have been I the thought process for about two years about going to community college and then transferring to a uni for engineering. I can say I very much appreciate the learning process now at 24 vs being in HS and just trying to get things done for a grade. I feel like now my brain is hungry for information I want to learn complex mathematics and be good at them.

You are right tho but still you should care about yourself more than that bro

Make me

Your heart will also fail 🙏🏿😂

All a bunch of hullabaloo. You're not answering anything here. You're using too many metaphors in your statements. And that my friend doesn't always make you smart.

can you get to the FUCKING POINT??????? you deserve a phd in yapping

So you basically re-writing the textbooks, only difference is that you condense the information remove the fluff? 😂 And selling it?

DAMN.

"They think therefore they are right, they speak therefore you are wrong" Sounds very profound, but explain 😭

for fucks sake do you need to berate us for 5 mins before you tell us how not to be stupid? is this a marketing thing. god damn

😭 One day imma release "Author Jonathan David out of context" videos Dude is unintentionally funny

started with lectures soon moved on to books , became easier to decipher and faster to get done with !

08:08 that's the flawed mentality I had about university/college. I was trying to cover as much content as fast as possible by watching the videos and just using the lecture slides (hardly even touched the textbook) When AJD was recommended to me, everything changed. I actually opened the textbook, read, understood and applied the knowledge and my Gawd! He was right, the textbook has everything you need, if not, look for it through research 😭 Failed math and physics because of my sheer ignorance and entitlement You get paid to do the work, not by how quick, but how well you do it

Use whatever works best for you (videos or textbooks), but make sure to solve a lot of problems related to the concept you are learning.

im special as fk bro u dont understand

The irony of saying videos are useless while you yap in videos and take time to even record lmaoo

I've subbed to you a little while ago off of one video. You are mostly correct in your point of view and I agree with like 99% of the things you say. However, while I think it's good that you're trying to put your views up for offer in the world to counter all the nonsense out there, I also sadly think that you words are falling on deaf ears. I don't have a college degree myself but I'm no idiot either. I'm an autodidact who've used textbooks to learn college level math etc. A relative of mine is a college professor and I'd help grade student's chem papers at night for fun and listen to the woe's of dealing with students after work every night and it was great insight into the state of colleges and the caliber of the students therein. It appears they are still complaining about teachers/ professors blaming them for their poor performance, making excuses, constantly missing deadlines for projects and overall still want to be spoon fed. What a joke. Students who are at a college level who haven't achieved the level of what I call "astute self learners" are going to be employee's, sure, but they will be very average at their jobs. They can get away with that in the current political and cultural climate unfortunately. You can't hammer it in enough for them to realize that they are simply lazy losers. Every video you do, you stress the importance of not using other peoples's videos to learn math/ science etc but it's futile in my view. The fact that having cheat sheets for e.g. in high school is a thing in the US blew my mind away. I was raised in the Caribbean where math had to be done from your head 100% of the time or from actually knowing the material top to bottom. A cheat sheet doesn't exist and it's totally forbidden. You will earn a big fat ZERO if you ever get caught with one during exams. You have to learn the material and know how to problem solve. This is the core of competence. There is some value to watching videos but it is over valued. Textbooks are the way to go. Tutorials and cheatsheets are the way to ZERO. Students need to learn the joy and pain of getting stuck on one problem for extended periods but never looking online for the solution or some tutorial. I still do math for the sake of it and still go days thinking about ONE problem until I find the solution. Nothing beats learning in this way imo. Anyways, great video.

Question(s): I took your advice and studied two weeks prior to the semester during winter break, however I feel that some of the information I learned isn't relevant, and any relevant information I only have a conceptual understanding and some practice on. So I feel like I barely studied ahead of the semester. This question is, is it too late to get two weeks ahead? If not, what would a realistic schedule look like? Are there any one-day breaks? Should I sacrifice sleep? What should I do? Study ofc, but how can I get ahead, effectively? My course incase your were curious: (Or if it helps) - Thermodynamics - Differential Equations - Dynamics - Intro to aerospace engineering - Engineering Drafting - Gen-Ed

Nice!

I treat college like a job. My classmates barely show up to class and think I am a genius. haha

I know you don't like philosophy but what you said in the video is the core teaching of stoicism which is to focus on things you can control and accept whatever you can't. Every college student should watch this video.

Bro paid thousands for all his textbooks n hes pissed bc hes thousands in the hole compared to some kid that knows what library genesis is

11:58 was very 🤣😂😝😜😆😄🤭

Whats your iq

Anymore advice such has how do we tackle problem sets?

Just bought my digital copy for my calculus I this summer. Do I use this as study material or as a review of older topics in preparation for the course?

neat

You're right

Yes I tend to take notes of the example problems especially for environmental engineering. Also do the practice problems...

I love the intensity!

great video

lol I am the only student in my environmental engineering class that takes notes. The other students just sit there

Great thing. I think GPAs are important for getting a scholarship

So community please correct me if I’m wrong. Mr. David is saying that Kahn academy is okay if you are not a STEM major. If you are, the only way to truly understand and grasp the Information like a true scientist is learning strictly from the text book to find understanding on your own and discussing the concepts with your professors?

do you have any advice or vids where you talk more about post grad life, working in the corporate world, and navigating office politics and such?

"In this video, I explain the importance of using a textbook instead of watching others do your homework." bro did 0 explaining and 100% rage baiting lmao.

Why is the eye contact so intense it's about to send me into a panic attack

Great video and you are absolutely right. My plem/stem professors have questioned me when I used other sources to learn a topic. I am blessed that they were merciful enough to refrain from taking points even though I deserved it because I should teach myself with the textbook and their lectures. Also, where the good food go?

This is why I love a good textbook. Just to share a prespective, my education in Germany was so chaotic and garbage, there was practically no curriculum and you didn't know if you pick up a book if it's relevant or not... Learned to go through videos quickly to get an overview of the chapters and topics, then search forums for relevant textbooks, and try to have the faith and patience going through a textbook that it's relevant to what the professor imagines should be in the course and puts on the exam.

Well damn as an architecture student and a human being (24) watching videos of philosophy, self-help this video did one thing the others don’t, radical accountability and actual self acceptance.

Can you make a video about how you said you'd abolish the grading system the way you'd go about it?

I’m 24, just starting my STEM journey in a university covering basic algebra. Working towards an engineering degree. Iv always felt I wasn’t the same mental caliber as my peers who were taking calculus 1 in high school.

The condescending attitude you have is off the charts. And you went 13 minutes in just to say you don’t know how this person should balance work and school. You MUST tend to our needs better than that. No real scientist would have this attitude. Giving you a Thumbs down.

Please u don’t have the books is Spanish? 🇪🇸

I agree, the only reason an individual should chase a good GPA is if they want to be a doctor since medical school is so competitive.

Now the challenge is to balance studying, a full-time job, and Baseball practice 5 hours a day😂😂😂 athletes got it bad man I swear

As a STEM student I got two things to say here There are are a lot of degrees that allow to balance But let's be real if you can the cahnces are despite whatever fancy names you gonna have in your diploma your degree isn't that demanding and so you are not that good at it And the other thing is that STEM majors which will have the best free time to degree value ratio are the narrow ones And it is important that narrow field is not one which has a small market share or seems rare but the one that where you are required to learn mostly subjects of similar kind Pure electronics Pure mech. eng. Pure civil. I am in automotive and the number of different subjects you have to manage at the same time is just diabolical One day I am designing a tube in CAD the next day I am making a DC/DC converter in matlab the next day I am learning sheet after sheet of law Of course you gonna have very little free time in majors like that with little immediate benifit in return That's my advice to you all 18year olds out there deciding where to go if you stumble upon my comment
