Advice on how to handle a difficult math class

<p>My S, a freshman Engineering major at Cal, said his Multivariable Calculus class is the “most demoralizing class that he’s ever taken”. For him it’s not the proofs, but the applications. I’ve nagged him to find a tutor and even gone as far as to provide names of 3 individuals, but so far he hasn’t contacted any of them. You can lead your kid to water, but you cannot make him drink… He IS attending the help sessions at the Learning Center but says they are of minimal help at this point.</p>
