Trust me.  You have said a mouthful.   I have been going to college since 2009 and I get sidetracked by an instructor because there are too many similarities in my final paper.   I am down to two courses and both courses are required.  I have 114 credit hours and need 6 hours to go.  I don't have extra money and ran out of funds earlier in the year.  My suggestion to you is to study harder.  Good luck. :o :o :o :wave:

That's normal. Just study harder if you can.

Yeah I've had some hard *bleep* professors myself. I've dropped classes before and took the same class with a different professor before. It worked most of the time.

Anything new will take getting used to.  If you need help or don't understand something don't be afraid to ask.  That's what they are there for.

Don't beat yourself up too much. You MUST focus now, put other things aside and put 100% into school.

Make sure you discuss this with your professor or their helper in the class.  See if you can join a study group or ask someone who can help you.  Do not give up.  I think it is wonderful that you have the oppertunity to go to college and get a great education.    :wave:

Honestly, I would kind of zone out in school but I always did very well. I was often sick and out a lot so teachers were never my primary source of learning. I'd just take note of the topics and study on my own. You may want to just figure out what the topics are and read up on them yourself. Use the internet as a resource and just use your professors to answer questions when you have them.

Also, take your midterm and study every question you got wrong. Find practice tests and keep taking them until you can consistently score high on them. Never wait for someone to implant some sort of knowledge in your brain. Always take an active approach.
