    I’m the complete opposite. As a CS major watching the professor live code or discuss 0s and 1s is so mundane that 10 minutes into class I’m dozing off. I’m way more productive when reading the text book or watching CS KZread vids.

    But ask yourself the question... are you actually doing study during the time the lecture is running? Doing your own revision by reading and watching is just basic revision everyone should be doing. Watching later at 1.5-2x speed because you learn better that way already puts you behind the person who just went to the class at 1x speed, and is now a lecture ahead and is revising while you're just learning. I'm saying this as someone who has 50% of their classes with scores over 90%.

    @@islandsociete Thanks for the advice? The way I study is completely dependent on the class, professors, and difficulty. If it’s difficult I read the book, if the class records the lectures I rewatch them to catch anything I may have missed, if the professor isn’t good I read the book, and if the class is straight forward I’ll just study the lectures notes. I have a 3.75GP and all A’s in my classes(as now) which is pretty much expected as a CS major but my grades may or may not slightly drop bc of the level of difficulty of the finals.

    I think if you are watching lectures later at 1.5-2x speed because it's optimal, you are already behind the person who was at class at 1x speed. If you have an optimal learning environment, you can still do that AND go to class. Most people I know skipping lectures are not really studying in that same time.

    lol I only went to the classes I needed to, my last semester. It depends on the person and subject honestly. my worst subject is math and I failed by going to every lecture in a 5-credit math course. second time around I taught myself with online videos and passed. I think the main takeaway is that you have to be serious about studying. regardless of whether you show up to lectures or not. work smarter

    I excelled by not attending lectures. The two hour spent listening is better spent actively engaging the material. Originally my method required me to use office hours to understand difficult concepts and thankfully i never had to use it. Print lecture slides, reading 20 minutes, Actively engage concepts without taking notes 1h and more, note taking to commit to memory. No flash cards just clear notes. I found it gets easier with time to eventually finishing off 3 lecture's worth of material in one 12 hour work day (exhausting).

    Yep, having the mindset to not skip a single class means that you stay on top of everything, and listening at normal pace means it processes better. Also it means you are more productive. Like if you're watching lectures later on 2-3x speed, then you are already behind the person who already was at the class at 1x speed. Like while you are catching up, they are either already doing tutorial questions, revision, more work on assignments or preparing for next class. They may even be just chilling out like you were doing when you skipped class!

    Good advice. Speaking as the pot smoker engineer who'd show up to half their classes late while skipping the other half, it took me 9+ years to get an undergrad in chemical engineering after having dropped out of my first college, redo everything at community college, and finally finish university. What I learned was that I was paying for all these courses via loans, which costed literally hundreds of USD per class. College = your time + your money.

    Currently wrapped in this exact predicament now. I started off freshman year as a CS major with a concentration in cybersecurity (I want to work as a sys admin, the only other concentration was game dev) and my concentration got cut (it was a liberal arts school, only cheap college in the area) anyway, I transfer to an online school under the cis major but the curriculum is dogshit and doesn't cover any relevant skills for sys admins (active directory, powershell). outside of basic networking. So for the past 2 years I've been either bullshitting or semi-bullshitting these courses.

    University is all about self discipline, I’m sure they told every student in uni or college in there first year degree on orientation day. The teachers won’t be like high school whooping ur ass, telling you off or sending emails to ur parents or give detention unable to complete to work provided and most of teachers and professors don’t care to teach you but they can specifically tell you the question and guide u like giving dot points of what to write and elaborate more on but won’t help in increasing grade for example if you don’t know how to use excel to create a table or graph with the given data the teachers mostly won’t help or teach you all they say is “watch videos on KZread on tutorials” . Personally, I took 2 hour lectures too lightly, I underestimated how much information they provide and how all this information is crucial to provide understanding to assignments, test and exams

    This isn't a bad take but i think the thing which is missing is this: Why is it important to take offline classes? At University one as a student shouldn't just be focusing to study but to understand and potentially begin their career pathways In an offline setting not only will you be learning but there will (well should ideally be) constant rapport between students and professors about topics being taught creating a good connection between the student and the professor WHICH GOES OUT OF THE WINDOW when running cramming sessions to study, not mentioning how bad it is to cram in a understanding heavy subject like CS But all of this is ofc with the assumption that the professor is able to setup an environment where this kind of activity can happen, if it's a professor who just reads off slides, yeah better just go online and 3x lectures or better yet learn actual content from edutainment channels

    Yeah nah this doesn't apply to everyone, we all have different ways to effectively absorb knowledge. I have a tendency to lose focus really easily in physical lecture classes, I already knew from the first day it just wasn't going to do it for me. The following classes I had skipped, watched online recordings, practice the exercises and complete assignments given to us, and self-study with the help of online resources and KZread, and Istill got a HD for my classes, and this is coming from a Comp Sci major who hates Comp Sci. A word of advice would be to not feel pressured to conform to the norms everyone tells you, find the methods that you're most comfortable with, helps you stay efficient, and produces the best results for you. The only things you need is consistency, self-discipline, and an open mind. Also be sure to take breaks away from your study space :)

    Universities have English requirements for a reason, and is something you are already aware of. The logic of skipping classes still applies, but in your case you have to acknowledge that because of this you really need to improve your English so that you can go to classes. And I assume this is one of the few situations you are actually being immersed in English, so it will similarly improve your English, which to be fair is what will help you get a job in the country where you compete against the locals.

    About 1/3 of people are self motivated and can study on their own. I'm in that third, but you are clearly not.

    or you just take full online and do everything yourself instead of doing remote. That way you do everything when and where you want and learn everything more efficiently

    Even if remote study is an option, I would still choose to go to class. Simply because I want to utilize the school’s billions dollar infrastructure and resources that I paid thousands of dollars for.
