Question for people who finished MS or PhD degree in Electrical engineering

How do or did you study??

Do you have your own insights or knowhows on how to studying efficiently?

I graduated with Electrical engineering BS and planning to pursuing MS degree in the US

And after I got out from undergrad, I completely lost how I could start studying the subjects.. and honestly I felt some professors left out the students more confused and wanted to get by with the classes without actually teaching the classes or just giving ridiculously hard questions to get the grade distributions, because there will be always students ace the classes without learning from the lectures or from professors

I am not one of those students always aced the classes and failed some classes couple of times, because of those issues

I tried to solve lots of problems, took decent notes, watched youtubes.. but it seems this is not good enough for me..

I have seen students missed half of the class days still aced the classes

I heard there are lots of students share the old exams and other references keep it for themselves

And I am afraid it would be hard to pass the classes when I start doing MS because I heard there will be lots of students from middle asia or other countries usually keep the important or valuable references for themselves..

I also heard there some people use third party to do the projects and etc.. and I am afraid I will be left out in the class

Please gvie me some real tips and guidances if you have studied MS of PhD in EE

I want to know more and further develop my knowledge in EE or related field of studying.. but I can't seem get the real grasp or know how to fishing...

Please explain how you study in general for the classes or subjects in EE in the US for MS PhD

Do you first solve the problems? and read the chapters if you don't understand, then try watch you tubes if you don't understand it?

Do you discuss your coleagues about how you could knock down the exams and plan out?

What are your steps or methods of studying? What tools (Chegg, old references, etc) have you used?

What made you achieved MS and PhD?

Please tell me the methods you have used when you studied, (chegg, old references, corporating with colleagues, or old references, etc)

PLEASE GIVE ME THE REAL TIPS, EXPERIENCES AND ADVICE, NOT LIKE SOME GENERAL TALKS OR PHILOSOPHIC STATEMENTS ETC..

I WANT REAL ADVICE FROM YOU IF YOU HAVE STUDIED MS OR PHD

Explanation / Answer

hi there

I can understand your situation because I once was in a similar situation of as you are in right now. I thought it would never pursue MS.

First of all forget what happened in the BS. Things will be different in MS. The professors are very good at explaning basic concepts . When they explain a concept, they explain it so nicely that you can actually incorporate in real life

Things to be done to get a trouble free degree

1. Follow the professor class carefully. Raise doubts when you dont understand things please dont hesitate to ask even though people feel silly . clear your doubts instantly . have a discussion with your friends on what has been taught in the class
2.Follow standard testbooks sugested by the class professor.Generally they prefer to go for international editions because they have the concepts clearly laid out.
3. Try to learn the concepts . The learning happens through different phases firsttly going through the concepts and solving text book problems already solved and then attempting new problems. After you are confident that you can solve any question on that concept, go for problems given at the end of the chapter. If you can solve these, you can solve any problem on that concept. And this is one of the reasons why you should go for standard books.
3.If you want to learn a concept through watching it in youtube, you can do it and gain knowledge for youtube has a lot of educational channels that teach across various fields. But knowledge that you feel you have gained during the process only last in your brain momentarily and that does not give you a full understanding of the subject. If a problem is given to you after some time, by then you would already have forgotten what you have learned from it. If you really want to make use of youtube, then try to solve a problem on the concept just taught immediately after watching the video. At least this way you may make reaps of it.
I must say you again and again that only go for standard text books and try to solve for as many problems as you can. Practice makes everyone perfect.

please maintain desire and vigour and surely sucess knocks your door

ALL THE BEST BUDDY!!!
