What's the key to understanding, in a practical sense?

How can I keep up in university?

Don't do anything. Remember that when you are introduced to a new concept you either understand it or no so it is a 50/50.

"Smart" people are simply people who got lucky with these chances while retards are those that were unlucky.

Understand this and just stop "studying" because everything comes down to this 50/50 chance and you cannot change your odds.

Our professor offered us three different electible courses. I picked course A. Course C was cancelled. Should I switch to course B?

Only if 2 courses have goats and 1 has a car

Then there is a 50/50 chance you get a car, you either get it or not

Your basic knowledge on the topic needs to be solid.

Look at the suggested literature for the course. Try to work through some of the material before the semester starts, or at least check out what preconditions you need to fulfill to do the exercises and then fill the holes.

If you do this and you aren't retarded, then understanding the material should be easy.

I guess I'm in for a tough ride then.

There is one book, which is flying over my head. I'm already in my semester, at least two weeks behind. Doesn't help that the prof is not a native speaker, writes in hieroglyphs and doesn't believe in headlines.

I'll just quit 4chan and bruteforce that whole thing on my own.

If there is a problem or concept you do not understand, then analysis is key.
Break the concept up into parts, see how they fit together. It helps to define terms properly to be more articulate in your thought process.

1) show up to class
2) do the recommended reading
3) do the recommended work
4) if you're still not getting it go to the TA office hours.


you do that and you will be getting good grades no troubles.
