I found out my results for my midterm and found out I made a 50 on it. This brought my grade down from an A to a D. How should I go about preparing for my final which is in four weeks? The other issue is that this is an online class and I feel like i’m not understanding the material. I have taken other online classes before but I did well in them.
- If there is a professor involved with teaching the course, ask them for tips on getting a better grasp of the material.
- Identify which areas on the exam you struggled with. Get the correct answers and work to understand why they are correct. Go back and review older material if you have a weak foundation in the subject.
- Study HARD for the final. No topic is too small to be on the exam -- I've been burned by "there's no way they'll test on this" before. Use outside resources. There might be YouTube videos or websites with info, tutorials, or problem solutions.
- Remember that one bad grade will have a very small impact on your life in the long run.
