  • Phiwayinkosi Mhlongo studied Civil Engineering at Wits. He always maintained an academic average of at least 75%. He was in the Dean's list. He is a member of the Golden Key Society. Got so many distinctions along the way, including a 100% in both Algebra and Calculus at some point at Wits. On the year he matriculated he was the top learner in technical maths and technical science in the country. In this episode he details on the strategies he used to obtain distinctions in his academic journey at university.

    I remember seeing Phiwa at concourse during the 2019 registrations. This was when he aced grade 12 technical maths and science with 100% and I must admit that his consistency is on another level! 🔥🔥🔥

    I am a 3rd year Aeronautical Engineering student at Wits and I barely passed. I did not understand most courses including Thermodynamics, Dynamics and Machine Elements. So I don't know how I am going to tackle 3rd year but I will try to go back to the courses I struggled with and try to understand more rather than cramming. Thank you for such content. It really helps a lot

      And I needed to understand the things in my 2nd year. I tend to compare myself to other people. My schedule is like waking up, going to class, attending lectures, go and study for a short while, then chill and watch UA-cam shorts and waste hours on end. Then go back home, watch TV, study for 30 minutes, tell myself I am tired then I sleep. On weekends I play catchup with courses and end up doing one course, and cross night. Then when it's test time, I cram and go write. Then on exams, cram content and go write. That is a destructive thing to do and I did it for 2 years. I let social media ruin me, and I let my failures drag me down. And I keep comparing myself to others. So eish, it was destructive

      So I need to change my lifestyle and change my mindset because this mindset will be the death of me

      @@decipherknight4750 You still have a chance to start afresh this year. At least you acknowledge your mistakes. That's the best place to start. You can do this, keep going!

    Have to agree with him about being competent; getting a degree is quite achievable but to be competent in the field is another thing and probably what sets apart the best from the rest.

      I quited Engineering I was doing Comp Engineering but it wasn't mine u know. I went to medicine and I did well in it I'm not a qualified medical practitioner so some things are not for everyone that's what I believe. I salute those who do well in Engineering 😂😂😂
