<p>I was at SUNY Potsdam before, and I transferred to Stony Brook University for this semester so far everything seems to be going down the gutter for me here. I had a 3.7 gpa at Potsdam and I don't think my gpa here will be anywhere near that. I'll give a breakdown of how I'm doing in each class.</p>
<p>Classical Physics I:
- No curve
- 90+ is an A
- 100s on homeworks so far
- Average lab report score seems to be in the 50s range so I'm expecting around that for my first one.
- Got an 8/10 on my first quiz, probably failed the second one I took today
- I'm not expecting to do well on the exams</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering:
- Curved
- 97 on the first lab, expecting lower on the second one</p>
<p>Philosophy
- I think it's curved
- I missed class both times this week because I overslept and turned my alarm off in my sleep due to me not getting enough sleep
- So far it seems like it should be easy to get a good grade as there are only 3 papers instead of 3 exams.</p>
<p>Linear Algebra
- Curved
- 75 on the first homework even though I had tutors check all my answers
- We have homework due every 2 weeks, so it's longer as a result. I haven't started the homework due next week because I've been busy with other homework.
- Not expecting good grades on the exams</p>
<p>I'm just so stressed and I already feel like giving up. It seems like no matter how much effort I put into anything here I'm just going to fail and waste my money. I feel like I can't ever get ahead with any of my homework. I spend hours upon hours on physics homework so then I figure I can work on my linear algebra homework, but nope! I have a physics lab report due the next day that I will stay up til 4am trying to wrap my head around only to get a failing grade because the TAs don't properly explain anything even when you explicitly ask them and take off an excessive amount of points for something they failed to explain to you. I'll never even have time to actually study or do extra problems on my own just to get more practice. I just don't even know what to do.</p>
<p>Sorry I tried to make this at least somewhat organized. I'm just very stressed and overwhelmed right now. I feel like I should just go back to Potsdam because it's cheaper, I didn't feel so stressed when I was there and actually felt like I was learning, I have a lot of friends I miss, and they have a really great music program of which I was fortunate enough to be a part of.</p>
