I really don’t know if I am just not use to the amount of work college requires or if I it is something else. I feel I stay pretty organized. I plan out the work I do, don’t put work off, but none of that seems to help.
Right now I am taking 4 classes and it takes up 90% of my time. Which is hard to believe when other people are taking more classes than me. I am in a community college right now which I guess is nice because it is smaller classes.
I have to say though that one class is really making my college experience bad. Pre-Calculus. I have never been good at math and I am not even majoring in a math, science, or engineering. So right now I suppose in my mind it’s one of those classes they make me take “just because”. I am majoring in History so I am not sure how useful a pre-calc class will be in the long run. The teacher in my Pre-Calc class is horrible and I think that would be the main reason it’s going bad. She dumps a ton of work on us without teaching us anything. Google has become my teacher and it’s not going well. It is also an online class and the campus she teaches at is over an hour away. My father is an engineer and knows a great deal about math so I have been getting help from him but things still don’t go well. Recently I got two F’s on quizzes and am about to take a math test today on campus and I honestly think I will fail it. I took math online in High School and I got better grades in math than I ever did before so I assumed that it would be the same here.
I spend so much time on this class just to fail horribly so far. My college experience has been quite a disappointment so far.
I know this is kind of a long post but I need advice on this. I really do care about getting my degree and it is what I have wanted ever since I started High School.
If this is the wrong place to post please let me know.
