" I have an average of 95% on my homework assignments, how do I raise up my D?" <---- Hmm, you should think before you type!! Honestly, I think you should retake the course. Wait, how can you sign up for the next course if you're barely passing. It's going to be pretty hard because at my school if you don't pass they'll block from signing up for the next course.

<p>Making up what I said?</p>
<p>I agree with a previous poster: You need to stop being lazy and arrogant. I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but </p>
<p>1) Your either lazy or stupid. In 99.99% of cases its one or the other when Ds are involved. I'll go with lazy...</p>
<p>2) You refuse to admit that you're lazy, and you insist that the exams are not hard for you. Arrogance...</p>
<p>Look, you're in a bad situation. There's no two ways about it. Its not the exam format, its not the professor, its not the weather....etc. It's you.</p>
<p>You wanted advice for your low GPA. I don't know what you except to hear- I mean its obvious you need to pick it up next semester. You might try to get extra tutoring, start studying for exams an extra day earlier, etc. There's no magical secrets.</p>
<p>what is a weed out class?</p>
<p>Organic Chemistry is a good weeder</p>
<p>A "weed out" class is typically defined as a lower division course that is relatively difficult compared to other courses, largely due to challenging content, testing, or both. These courses are used to cull or weed out students from a particular program, and are very common in the hard sciences and engineering.</p>
<p>If anyone has anything else to add to my somewhat limited definition, feel free to share it.</p>
<p>i heard that my chem class is a weed out class...in fact my professor even said it was. so does that mean this class is harder then the chem classes after it? compared to high school its pretty hard...</p>
<p>^^ It just means that they make the class more difficult than it needs to be to "weed out" the weaker students. Engineering and hard science departments do not want many students in their program, so they have the lower division course departments do the dirty work for them.</p>
