<p>Thx for the good tips. The call from my s surprised me. Maybe it is a perfectionism thing that he needs to let go of realizing D isn’t like highschool and he needs to learn new study habits. The prof definitely made him question his decision not to take econ 10 and calc 3 when she said 30% would drop her econ twenty-something class. (I was wrong when I thought it was econ 10) The prof also had a really strong accent and spoke fast - my s couldn’t understand the prof at all. I think this contributed to his concern about doing well in the class - but he’s going to have to get used to thick accents. Reading reviews on sa.dartmouth - it looks like a common issue- but not a big deal.</p>
