A positive, friendly atmosphere and a lot of fun.

Not to give up. Honestly, it wasn’t  easy for me. I would even say … all subjects were difficult. For instance, once it took me six hours to solve the task but  I did it!

…I would be teaching solfeggio at the music school.

– What was your most stupid mistake during your studies?

Enter a remote virtual machine. Put DHCP and restart the network.

When we first learned how to connect to remote machines. We googled how to redirect the output to the remote console and displayed a message “Bash barabash error!” on our colleague’s phone.

Once I was used to watch the lectures in an  accelerated mode.  This simple technique saved me a lot of time. Highly Recommended! And in general, don’t worry about anything. As they say, keep one foot in front of the other!
