Hvorfor faen snakker vi ikke om det?
At lære at studere og gå til eksamen
In the first video Anders shares how it was difficult at first to figure out how to prepare for exams and demonstrates the point that it is a process to learn how to study and do exams. He experienced some classes and exams as difficult, for example finding motivation to start preparing for exams. Anders explains that he realized that new students comes from very different backgrounds, everyone has different skills, strengths and challenges, and therefore also different prerequisites to how well they manage a given class. Anders experienced getting grades that were better and worse than expected, and discusses with Pernille how to manage less good grades and classes where one cannot perform so well. They address how to manage expectations to oneself and to be realistic about one’s skills, which also is an important asset in the work life. In the end, Anders reflects about how fellow students best can support each other – which includes to be open and dare to share also when things are difficult.
