Hey guys,
I am a freshmen mech engineering student and so far I have been really disappointed in my college performance. I am on an academic scholarship that I need a 3.0+ to keep, which I thought would be no problem at all. However, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just took a math test, calc 1, and am pretty sure I got no more than 50%. I did great in AP calc and got a 5 on the test, but now it is more geometry than calculus. I am 'hoping' to get a B in the class, which is still a stretch, I most likely have a C- now. I study the material, do the homework, attend lectures, but still can't get higher than 70's on any test. What is going on? Furthermore, my programming class is not going well at all either. I have always been great in school and this is quite a wake up call. I do not know what more to do, I am generally intelligent so I would think if I worked hard it wouldn't be a problem. Does anyone else have this experience? I know it is only going to get harder, so what does this mean?
