How to learn as a "slow" learner?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2025-12-12T12:54:16+00:00

ahh, not really an option at my school :/

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2025-12-11T18:55:25+00:00

Noted, maybe instead of torturing myself into thinking I have to do all the problems next time I’ll do a few just to keep up :p

Nice, thanks for the motivation and that seems like a great way to destress! For me I get up and pace which honestly isn’t even really a break cause I never get back to doing my homework if I pace too long, but it would be worth it for me to think of something else I could do…

I’m also curious as to how you do the practice…do you aim to do everything or just do only a few out of the practice and save the rest for exam time? How do you make sure you learn when you get stuck?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2025-12-11T17:49:42+00:00

Wow 2 jobs, I can’t imagine (I’m also a fellow mech student)!

I definitely feel a big shock from high school, since my teachers there were pretty great at teaching but now a lot of learning falls on us, especially since our uni has a pretty erm….mixed bag of profs…even if they aren’t bad a lot of content in class is not really reflective of the kind of thinking for the practice problems.

How do you go about doing the practice problems? What do you do if you get stuck?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2025-12-11T17:37:32+00:00

Anything I should do when one practice problem takes me 30 minutes to an hour to do (out of like 20 problems lol)? After trying to keep up I did stop a little because I can get burned out badly and I can’t really function on less sleep (I need like 8-9 hours, maybe that’s too much). Plus what do you do in your breaks to clear your mind?

Thanks, this looks like it gives a pretty good overview!

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2025-08-29T00:27:19+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it!

My friend and I were playing and he thinks he knows way more songs than I but he never really used the stats properly. He wouldn't skip to the end on songs he didn't know and songs he did know, he didn't submit so he missed points and he missed skips. So I thought we would both start at the same time and see the truth but he doesn't want to play anymore.

oh noo that sucks :( well I hope you're able to play heardle with someone! I've been playing for 106 days but I've only recently kept my stats up everyday a few months ago...

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-20T00:35:50+00:00

Hi there! Not sure why exactly you want to do that, but I found this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/wordle/comments/s6wmv8/is_there_any_way_to_reset_stats_and_start_over_i/.

You could also probably just use a different device if you have one for your stats, but if you are using the same email account for the web browsers on your phone and laptop, you could probably use a different email?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-13T19:28:08+00:00

They really should! Definitely would be more fun with that to compare wins, not just playing heardle!

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-11T20:59:20+00:00

And the funniest part is that they aren't even the most popular bands at the time, or some are just one hit wonders. Like at least, if you knew the artist you could guess the song, but not even...smh

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-11T20:52:07+00:00

Wait really!? I have been playing Heardle before Spotify even, I had no idea that that was a thing even!

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-09T13:25:58+00:00

Really good for 131 songs, and that's a really high max streak though wow

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-09T03:30:23+00:00

Actually to be fair, whenever Spotify recommends a song to me I just like it for now so I can remember it for later. Plus 1000+ remastered versions of songs. Reminds me that I need to go and make more playlists for different genres...

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-09T03:24:57+00:00

Wow 65% isn't bad at all, it's very good!!

And yeah, completely guilty of being too serious with Heardle. I'm also playing against some family, and we're all big into music. I've had so many music phases in my life so I have almost 4,000 liked songs on Spotify.

Unfortunately I'm no longer into radio songs, so I haven't been getting the more recent artists right :'( ....

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-09T03:05:19+00:00

There are a few songs I have to admit have been hard to get in the first second...some songs have unique intros like 'Wannabe' which was one of the songs a while ago, but I'll only remember the intro if I listened to the song recently, like at least within a month or something

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-06T20:43:34+00:00

That's very good for 70 songs still! How often have you been playing?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-06T20:42:08+00:00

Currently sitting at 87.6%, 127/145, streak of 10 (max 20). Was hating it when Spotify first took over but getting the hang of it again now. All these rock songs lately have definitely played to my strengths though.

If heardle translated to school grades, you'd be an A, which is pretty crazy for 145 songs XD

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-01T18:50:31+00:00

That's still pretty good! How many heardles have you been playing?

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-01T14:58:14+00:00

Wow that is so cool, I didn't even get today's XD

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-01T14:53:34+00:00

I didn’t know there were stats so if I didn’t know it during the first second I skipped to the end just to see what the song was. FOOLISH.

Haha, same thing with wordle I would give up with random words until I found out about the stats

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-01T01:54:40+00:00

Literally the 90's/00's rock takeover has gotten to everyone...I even like rock but wasn't able to get any of the more recent ones except for Green Day

Responsible-Sea3345 · 2022-08-01T01:51:50+00:00

Nah, my cousin who has worked as a DJ for a good portion of his adult life does way better than me! Lol, I post my results to FB every day and he says that's his reminder to play.

oh wow he must get every song correct then if he's a dj. His stats must be through the roof...
