To Do Well In College: Don't Work Hard, Work Efficiently

This is the third in a series of lectures that I am tentatively calling "How to Do Well in College." This video introduces the central thesis of all of the upcoming videos that present tactics for college success--for getting good grades in undergraduate college courses. That central theme is: do not work hard, work efficiently. I give several examples of the kind of efficiency that I am talking about. And I tell a story about a bodybuilder.

Summary: 1. Before class; do the reading and take notes 2. During class; FOCUS and take notes on the lecture 3. After class; Spend 15mins revising your notes *Finals time: spend a couple of hours studying your notes!

I majored in engineering in college. I always wanted to be able to read the book before the lecture, but I was never able to pull that off, because I was always busy with homework from other classes. The only thing I would have had time for, I guess, was skimming the notes before class. In engineering they emphasize doing math problems over studying. Also, I took notes religiously, but I never had the time to get much out of them, and I would miss things the professor was saying because I spent too much time trying to draw whatever thing was on the board before he erased it. So in retrospect I feel that I should have focused more on trying to understand over trying to note it all down. However, I wish that I had had this advice. This video is very well done, much thanks for it.

Jeffrey Kaplan is the kind of young professor that I always wanted. So open-minded and witty with a perfect hint of sarcasm. Currently doing a summer semester, will come back at the end of the term to let you know how I did with your advice. (Already seeing some significant changes!)

Maybe for arts students this will work. If you have a lab in any science discipline, all this that kaplan is saying goes out the window. Preparing for the lab, doing the lab, and post-lab work can easily eat up 9 hours a week, every week of the semester - and that is if you know what you're doing. If you're unsure, add more time to the 9 hours. Take 5 courses a semester, where 3 courses have labs, you're schedule is shot!

That body builder story really hit for me. Because when It comes to the Gym I am VERY focused and know exactly what Im there to do and what I am not there for. But when it comes to my studies its the opposite. Its all so simple treat school like like I treat iron.

Watching this video nodding along earnestly and then halfway through I realise I'm not taking even taking notes on the video telling me to take notes...

I'm in my 3rd week of my first semester back in college since the late 90s. I just realized this week that reading and doing the exercises (at least the best I can) BEFORE the lecture really helps me grasp the concepts. II'm going to do the rest of these steps and see how it goes!

Last semester, I gave my students a not-for-credit "pretest" over material they should have learned in a prerequisite class. The results were generally horrifying. I'm convinced students prioritizing short-term memorization over long-term learning is the primary contributing factor of "imposter syndrome".

Does everyone else think this guy looks like the dude from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Especially once the board is full and it looks like the conspiracy episode? But I do seriously love these videos. Great job!

Jeffrey, thank you for these videos. Your teaching style is so captivating and motivational. Glad I found your channel, it’s helped me already.

This is very true. I just pivoted to data analytics and had the time to study for a semester. Reading before lessons for a couple of hours each week plus taking notes during lessons plus revisiting them and applying them soon is the way to go. My problem was spending the other 15 hours customizing my editor and workflow for efficiency (Emacs) although it pays off in the long term.

Take efforts in understanding concepts, rather than pushing time forward. A simple concept yet we all run from efforts. We want easy , here we lose .
