Sharing
As a double degree student, it is better to be diligent. Learning in the first year is relatively easy, although some knowledge concept takes time to master. Teachers are willing to answer any academic questions as long as I am not afraid to ask. Remember, don’t be afraid to ask your teacher questions!
