Hello, I'm in my 30's and haven't been studying algebra, trig, or physics for around 19 years. Well, i just failed my second physics test and I'm pretty bummed out about it. However, I was thinking of taking the same class again next semester, but I'm not sure if i will do any better the second time around. My self esteem can only take so much to be honest. My question is, has anyone here ever taken an introductory physics class twice? Is there any hope for me in learning Physics at all after failing two tests?!
thanks

Wow! I don't know why, but just that one quote has totally inspired me to keep forging on despite the hardship I am having with this intro physics! Amazing, the power of words! Thank you for sharing that with me, I really appreciate it. :-)
