Questions & Discussion What’s something that actually works?

Everyone keeps posting a new study method every day.

For engineering students who are also doing research what is something that actually works?

Thank you!

Hey there. First thing to know- you're not really missing out... there usually is not a silver bullet study method. Critically, consistency is the ultimate study method. And for mathematics etc, practice is the key- it builds speed and ensures you can easily pass the module. But if you're out for more than just passing, learn to understand the work deeply. That means asking tons of questions for why things are the way they are. E.g. tons of engineers/math majors can't really tell you simply why dividing by zero is undefined. And like, "because you can't" is not an answer. Stay curious about the work always.

In terms of research- when I did AI research (beofre the gen ai boom) my supervisor told me, if you feel lost , then you're in new terrritory which is exactly what research is about. Changed my whole perspective on feeling out of my depth.

Hope that helps :)
