Hi, friend! My name is Han, and I am an engineering graduate from Columbia University. In this video, I discuss the negative effects of boredom as an academic emotion on our school and learning experience. I share two research papers that explore ways to reduce boredom while studying, aiming to improve the studying experience and achieve better grades. I understand the challenges that come with boredom in a school setting, so I hope this video can be motivating and helpful if you are currently struggling:)
