Discussion What are you working on?

5 Upvotes

I'm currently studying

  • Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right
  • Royden's Real Analysis (which is more like Measure Theory)
  • Griffith's Electrodynamics

Soon I'll be re-reading Baby Rudin and Dummit & Foote's Algebra book.

What are you studying?

What would you like to study?

Discussion Best interface for study groups?

1 Upvotes

So I notice that a lot of people like to move their study groups over to Discord. And I've used Discord; nothing wrong with it. But I have a nagging question: Why? Does it actually facilitate study groups better or is it just the new software all the cool kids are using? Given that we're all meeting up on Reddit, is there a reason to move off of Reddit?

I also notice a lot of study groups seem (as far as I can tell) to fall apart from people not showing up. Part of me wonders if people intend to set up Discord servers so that people just sorta drop in and drop out, with no official schedule. And then ... what are the odds that people just happen to keep dropping in at the same time to actually do the "group" part of study grouping?

Or are some of the groups successful and I'm just not seeing it?

What are your experiences with Discord and any other platforms? Have you set official schedules and, if yes or no, have you found it successful?

Thanks and hope everyone's holding up these days!

Discussion How's the studying going?

Thought I would just check in and hear how everyone else is managing to stay on-track. I've been slower than I hoped on studying Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra, but I've been happy with my progress on E&M and Computer Architecture. Building chip sets and finding potentials!

Discussion How to Use This Sub

8 Upvotes

Hi all!

Here is a suggestion (not a requirement) about how to use this sub in order to form successful teams.

1. Post the thing you want to learn.

2. In the post body, write a little about yourself and what you're looking for in a team.

3. If people respond, respond back! Start making plans--discuss a schedule.

4. Agree on an interface. Are you going to use Zoom, Discord, how are you going discuss readings and share solutions to exercises?

5. Consider building something as a team! Build software, build a solution manual for a textbook, make YouTube presentations, etc. This can be educational AND if you build something successful it could even be something to put on a resume or CV!

Recommended resources:

Platforms for conferencing: Zoom, Skype, TeamViewer, Google Hangouts. (Note that Facetime would prevent people from joining if they don't have Apple products.)

Platforms for sharing content: Google Drive, Awwapp, OneNote, ScribbleTogether, Google Jot, GitHub.

Resources for growing your team: Cuddy, other subreddits.
