I am currently taking Electrical Engineering at a local college outside of the United States. I will be direct and explicit about my issue here: I am getting terrible grades, possibly failing three classes this semester and I don't see myself adjusting properly in my current college. I am...

My college has a strict attendance policy that basically forces students to attend a certain percentage of total classes per course; they fail the course if they miss a large percentage of the classes. I particularly mentioned attendance because of an interesting read from an MIT blog, where a...

There are numerous topics that I want to discuss regarding workload, grading outlines..etc, but the number and frequency of quizzes is bugging me the most. College students are supposed to expect to be put under constant pressure, and study on regular (daily) basis; revising notes and doing...

Here is a question that might be relevant: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=707553&highlight=akaisora Edit: That topic has technical explanations. TC, I suggest reading physics books and taking official physics classes if you're interested.

If it is affecting your overall performance, then yes drop it. If you can put more effort and deal with it, since you will have to deal with it later on, then talk to your adviser or instructor and pass this annoying class. If you decided to drop it, you have a chance to prepare well for it...

I used to cram before finals and it worked for sometime. In the long run, however, I had superficial understanding of the subject and I started getting headaches whenever I study for 2 hours straight. That aside, I think that students should organize their life and develop better studying...

I think that IT pros, scientists, engineers...etc. should stick to doing something productive, as I don't see any value in helping third world countries; unless it is a long-term investment to turn the said countries into productive first world countries. Digging ditches seems trivial, and I...
