How to deal with a Master's Degree with Fiona Beaton
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
I came to G C, you do my masters and I did my four year undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics in Canada. So after that experience, it definitely is a big adjustment. It's a big change. Obviously, masters, I have at least found its way more independent than an undergrad. My program is quite small, which is nice and different from my undergrad again. So there's kind of an opportunity to get to know your lectures really well and like the module leaders. So I think that that's really nice. I found it super helpful to kind of give myself some time like at the beginning when we started and I was like, whoa, this is definitely different than undergrad to kind of figure out what's gonna work for me in terms of studying and like making my own schedule because sometimes holding yourself accountable when you're really independent with school, it can be hard. So be gentle with yourself and like kind of takes a little while to figure it out. But once you do whatever works, definitely try and stick to that as best you can also like everyone else in my masters had also done a degree before. So we were all sort of noticing this change. So definitely like you're all in the same boat and because we didn't have as much class time, maybe we were used to when we were in our undergrad degrees because most of the work is done independently outside of class, we would get together, collab, make group chats, stuff like that to kind of hold each other accountable.
