I know, I'm having mine right now. All I can say is do your best in the class and don't give up. Maybe you're just having a bad six weeks? Also, set a goal for yourself. I had like a 76 in the class and raised it 7 points to an 83. I was pretty proud of myself considering that is a significant raise in grade. All of my other grades are A's by the way and I'm in all advanced. Don't let the computer take over your life, it's nice to have every once in a while. And maybe consult friends that are on the internet about assignments you have in that class. I know that if everyone is confused, and everyone is making a bad grade, I feel a lot better because I'm not the dumb bunny in the class.

Hope I helped!

Tell him that you work your ass off, and its not getting you anywhere. Just tell him that as long as you have classes like that.. then those are the grades that he should get use to! then see what happens [ MCalways's advice column | Ask MCalways A Question ]
zapreth answered Monday January 10 2005, 1:55 pm: Does he have a point? If you are struggling, could part of it be your social life IS getting in the way, or have you spent more time on your social life because you've given up on your school work? Think about that before your dad starts talking to you about it. I was in high level classes and had to drop out, but mine was due to depression not social life. I was able to pick some of them back up later. Is there some kind of tutoring/mentoring program you can get into to help you understand the course work? Sometimes getting someone else's perspective helps alot. Good luck! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
