Good morning.
2021-01-09, 07:30, Wednesday. Today I'll share some random thoughts on studying STEM related subjects. Might do somthing like this every once in a while.
STEM tips №1: there are no shortcuts. The original quote is attributed to Euclid: there are no royal roads to geometry, he said to king Ptolemey. This my point: you have to put in the hours and effort. A lot of them.
A decent problem in calculus or physics will take you a solid hour even if you have all the notes from your lectures. And there are these problems in every chapter of your textbook and they won't get easier, so cramming this kind of thing gets impossible. Unless your end goal is to pass the test and not to learn something.
I'm in the middle of my third year of bachelorship and there hasn't been a semester where I'd have more than a day off, unless I was ill. It doesn't mean that I always spend the whole day studying, although sometimes I do, but 1-2 hours of studying every morning are a part of my routine now.

@academicalnerd You may want to consider adding QOTOJournal to posts like this in the future.
@freemo
Thanks, I will. Is it a hashtag for anything long or anything long and science-related?
@academicalnerd Its a hash tag for anything of serious effort WRT STEM.. think of it like an open STEM newsletter or magazine where you can post to it openly... Pretty much if its stem related and you any effort into it then feel free to use it.
@freemo I see. Thanks, I will probably use it quite often.
@academicalnerd Good, alwayss great to see quality content. Thats what it is there for. Aside from being highlighted in our menu it is also a great way for users from other servers to follow serious STEM content from QOTO.
Also you may wish to consider posting to the QOTO science group: @Science Oor if you wish feel free to start your own group on a more specific subject (or just your own style). then it will get listed in our group directory.
It provides a similar purpose as hashtags with the exception being that QOTO groups are moderated.
