Hello!
I've visted these forums many times-some provided to be more than helpful.
So i got around and decided to make an account and start posting.
I have a HUGE question, I've been aiming for a 4.0 this semester sadly-one of my courses Physics 102 [General Physics II] is just being not only tough but very depressing.
I got a 20/50 in my midterm-a 40% ie it's a failing grade.
It isn't my last midterm-yet I still feel like I'm going to fail this course.
Which is a nightmare and cannot happen.
Has anyone finished this course-or very good in it?
My weakest has always been in anything related in 'electricity'.
D: I never seem to get over that issue.
I really need help and I know that there are others who have either been in my situation or can help a tiny bit.
I'm very close to giving up.
This midterm is 24% of my grade.
My quizes are 24%My other midterm is 24%Final is 28%I just feel like I aim and never reach my actual goal.
Any suggestions-or are any further efforts useles..
Thank You.
