Okay, kind of new at this but here goes, I am currently taking a hiatus year. I left off my first year of chemical Engineering. I finished everything except for Vector Calculus. I retook differential and integral calculus, passed all of my gen chem stuff, took Newtonian physics, passed, and did material balances and stoichiometry (chemical Engineering 211), and didn't make it. I didn't fail, I got a D. I'm taking this year to recharge and figure out how I can improve. I have an inkling of what's to come, but not a true grasp of it. I don't know how the hell I got pass some of the classes I have done. I need to know how to do better. I seem to just keep throwing out effort here and there, but get little in return. I want to know how to study science, math, physics, and engineering courses, and do good in them. How do I assimilate information to do good on exams? How do people who are successful tackle these classes?
Obviously, my methodology isn't working. I use to attend class, take notes(never really did use them tried to get my information from the book), do what example problems I thought were constructive, take the exam, and get a not so pretty grade. is there anything more I can do? is there a specific methodology to tackling these classes? is there anything I can do better? I don't mind putting in the effort, I would more than love to. I would love to see the end result with good grades! I don't want to have to give up Engineering. I find it satisfying in a way. I love the aha! moments. I think I've hit a bump, maybe crashed, but I think what needs to happen is a bit of rewiring, and I'll be on my way.
