Okay, so today I had my first test for College Physics 2(without Calc). I feel like I did absolutely terrible on the test. I struggled a lot in Physics 1, but had managed to get a B, but am feeling worse about the direction Physics is going in this semester. I would like to know if I should drop the class or not, and if not, was wondering if anyone had any resources that helped them pass this class.
Thanks!
I found college physics to be very challenging, even though I was an engineering major! I got a B first semester, barely, and a C, second semester. To do even that, I had to get a tutor. That’s probably how I passed the class! It seemed like every time we had an exam, I would look at the problems and wonder if I was in the wrong room! I couldn’t see the connection between the tests and the material we had covered. Ack. If it helps any, I did fine after surviving physics and even graduated with high honors. Hang in there!
Thanks, I did better on my second test fortunately. Not great, but better. I’m just trying to put the most effort in possible to possibly get a B, C at minimum. Thanks for the encouragement!
You’re welcome! Things do get better!
Academic support, study groups, see the professor during office hours, hang in there, don’t drop.
Got a C in the class, but honestly I’m just relieved I’m done with it. Thankfully my major doesn’t require any more physics.
Congratulations! You survived, learned, passed, and can move on. Happy New Year.
