    I want to just comment here for those of us who have a job during school- I worked through my entire undergrad and now masters to pay for school. Please remember that most profs are people! Don't be afraid to discuss potential extensions due to your workload, and try to schedule your week ahead of time to balance things. It's not easy, I never took a full course load and that is OKAY. Academia is wonderful, but it is hard if you have to work to pay for it. If you can't do every extra reading, it is okay. You can do it.

      I needed to hear this, thank you! I didn’t work along side my undergrad but for my masters I am, so I’m nervous that I won’t be able to handle the workload of doing both simultaneously.
      Good luck with your masters! 💕

      I recently explained to my professor what my full time work week and part time hobbie (ballet) looks like and that I basically only had weekends to complete my assignments and catch up work and she was more than open to allowing me to have extensions if I need them and even mentioned I had a lot on my plate! Hopefully they are open to understanding, but if not we thankfully have Ruby to help us to use our time better :)

    • @AndNowIJustSitInSilence
      @AndNowIJustSitInSilence Рік тому +2

      Okay, but your non-academic life is not really your professors business. I also had four side jobs next to my full-time Masters and I never asked for an extension. I mean at this point you are an adult and should be able to handle your life yourself and make things work. I wouldn't count on your professors kindness and only discuss extension when it is really necessary, not in advance. There are so many students out there who are doing the same hours of work and are able to handle it, so at some point it will just be unfair to others. Also, even when you get an extension, you will still have to do the work and I don't see the difference in doing the work before the deadline or after. In reality, you won't have more time to do your assignment even if you get an extension. You will just stress more about it 😂

    I want to add the importance of getting a good night's sleep (without being greedy about it). Additionally, studying in a community or finding a study buddy to mutually monitor and enhance study progress is beneficial. It's also crucial to break the sedentary mode by incorporating sports and physical activities into the routine.

    I like your stance on the use of A.I. I agree that people need to learn to do the work themselves. If everyone just relies on A.I., no one will know how to actually do things themselves. Also, that you gave examples about how A.I. is best when doing repetitive tasks that are tedious and don't require your creativity, like doing the reference sources.
    It's always good to see what strategies successful people use to succeed, like Ruby.

    Hi Ruby, I was wondering, as you're going to be studying early modern literature, if you had encountered the works of Aphra Behn? She was one of the greatest playwrights of her era (Restoration) and highly regarded at the time despite her gender, but her importance was downplayed and her work suppressed later as (like many Restoration playwrights) she dealt openly with "bawdy" topics. Well worth looking at some of her work and life if you haven't encountered her - though I expect you have.
