Just failed my physics and calc 2 class in the same summer, where do I go from here? Or is it just due to the fact that i the classes were just 5 weeks?

WannabeNewton said:I know quite a few people who have taken introductory physics and math classes simultaneously over the summer and have done very well in both of them. I only say this because blaming the failing grades on the summer courses is just going to distract the OP from improving his/her grades by studying; it will just encourage blame on the circumstance rather than the lack of proper study that's required to do well in such classes, summer or not.
If you fail both Physics and Calc II in the same summer, it may delay your progression in your academic program and may negatively impact your overall GPA. You may also have to retake the courses, which can be time-consuming and costly.
While it is not uncommon for students to struggle with these courses, it is not typical for students to fail both Physics and Calc II in the same summer. It is important to seek help and resources to improve your understanding of the material and increase your chances of success.
To prevent failing these courses, it is crucial to attend class regularly, actively participate in class discussions, complete all assignments and practice problems, and seek help from professors or tutors when needed. It is also important to manage your time effectively and not fall behind in your coursework.
Failing these courses may be discouraging, but it does not necessarily mean that you cannot pursue a career in science. Many successful scientists have experienced academic setbacks and have overcome them. It is important to learn from your mistakes and use them to improve in the future.
Yes, there are many resources available to help you improve in these courses. Your university may offer tutoring services, study groups, or workshops. You can also reach out to your professors for extra help or find online resources such as practice problems and videos. It is important to take advantage of these resources and put in the effort to improve your understanding of the material.
