One year later, still struggling with calc

<p>So...poor D is still struggling with calc. She attempted it as summer school at a local 4-year college last summer but didn't get a grade that Tulane will accept.</p>

<p>Now this summer she's staying at Tulane to do it...and is struggling dreadfully. She is truly trying, she's engaged a tutor for several hours, and has met with the professor a couple of times. He acknowledges that she's trying, but has no magic bullet to help her succeed. D is meeting with academic advisor tomorrow in advance of the final on Friday but is not sure what to ask or say. She feels she just doesn't understand calc.</p>

<p>At this stage, she's quite worked up. It's a prereq for her PH major, and she can't see a path forward. </p>

<p>Any practical advice anyone could share?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance?</p>

<p>No real advice, just offering my condolences. Long calc II is the worst grade on my transcript and I’m a pre-med cell & molec major. Calc kills me.</p>

<p>How about taking it at a local junior college (assuming the hours can be accepted by Tulane)? It may be less rigorous</p>

<p>Junior colleges aren’t acceptable to Tulane.</p>

<p>Thx Schmls -bad grade but you passed? What happens if a student can’t pass a required class. is that $150K down the drain? </p>

<p>Smart kid, good GPA, but can’t do calc. </p>

<p>Not sure what her next move is.</p>
