frustrating professors

[bubblegum2]

so i did well for my first semester got a 3.8 >.< speech class. second semester got to some science classes, general chem and physics with labs and some math class + G.E. class. To my shock I got the most frustrating professors I could have ever dreamt up. one teacher I swear im not making this up no one understands what he's saying 75% of the time( older man, language barrier), another teacher is really, really shy and its difficult to follow his thought process, and the Chem teacher just can't teach at a level which most of the students can keep up, he treats new information as if its a breeze and glances over it. it's the first 2 weeks of the semester but I feel already stressed out by these professors, I doubt I can find classes on a diff. schedule. any advice?

Sounds like a regular semester to me. The university needs funding, so they hire the best researchers. Profs don't have to be the best at teaching. If there is no way to switch, stick with it and ask the TA's for help. You did well last time, I'm sure you can do it again. Next time, maybe ask around about good profs or look them up on ratemyprofs.

You should've used ratemyprofessor.com prior to taking classes with these professors. With that being said, suck it up, you're not always going to have the "ideal" professor.

Just stay on top of your game and everything will work out in the end. If everyone's struggling, you'll be fine if you're struggling less than most students are.
