Am I doing bad in my math and science courses?

Here are my math and science grades after two semesters in college:
Calc 1: A
Calc 2: B
Physics 1: C
Physics 2: B
Intro to Programming: B

I feel like I have bad grades, any feedback on how I am doing?

You are doing fine. More important than grades is whether or not you feel like you are learning the material. It makes no difference if you get an A but don’t actually learn from the class.

What’s your major? What are your goals for after college?

As mentioned above, how well you are doing depends where you see yourself in a couple of years. For freshmen, those grades are kind of acceptable because of the big adjustment from high school to college. Blindly, your grades are pretty good and nothing too scary. Just keep on working hard and try your best.

Based on your other [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/1778183-feel-like-i-did-bad-for-my-freshman-year-of-college.html#latest%5Dthread%5B/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/1778183-feel-like-i-did-bad-for-my-freshman-year-of-college.html#latest]thread[/url], my concern is that you chose your major without considering your aptitude for the subjects involved. It’s not the end of the world to get sub-optimal grades in your freshman year, but your classes will only get harder in the future.
