So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes.
Have you ever had to retake a prerequisite in order to better understand a subject?
I asked for a D in algebra so I could repeat it (I’d have gotten a C+, but you can’t repeat courses if you get a c or better at that school) because I’m bad at math and needed to take some more advanced math for some of my science/stats courses.
Hurt my overall gpa for that semester, but the B+ I ended up with replaced the D entirely so it was fine.
I went back to school for engineering in my late 20s. I took physics and calculus again because I needed it to be confident in pursuing the rest of the courses.
i passed linear algebra, calculus I and II, when i was 20 y.o., left college for 17 years, and then i came back to take differential equations, vector cal, etc. it was a challenge, but i was ready to get slapped
