Hey, so I'm a sophomore at UNCG and I did horrid my first year getting myself a 2.3 GPA. I got a D in both Gen Chem I and II. I've already retaken Gen Chem I and received an A- but for the life of me I still can't grasp on to Gen Chem II. I just had my first exam and received a 48 on it. Now, I'm basically screwed because I'd have to get near a 100 on everything else to get an A- in the course overall. Is there anything I can do to help with this?

I'm in Genetics right now and I feel like that is easier than Gen Chem tbh. Maybe it's just math overall, my first year I got a C in PreCalc I and II.

Help 🙁

I got a C in Gen I and II. I finally got it together in Org I with a B. I plan on getting an A this semester. Try exposing yourself to different teachers (i.e. Khan Academy, iTunes U). Then try studying in a group.

Consider this:
My class did a study. We were split up into three groups. One group studied as a group, another studied individually, the other didn't study at all. The group that studied in a large group did better every single time. It helped me when I studied in a big group.

Thanks for the very helpful response. I'll look into group studies and alternative methods of lecture.

At my university we had a tutoring service provided by nearly every department in their respective offices. For Chemistry and Organic Chemistry we were in the same floor and room. The tutoring services had numerous amounts of undergraduates teacher assistants (TA) who did well (Atleast B+), graduate TA's, and even professors (rare times need to memorize them) who would sit you down and try to explain it in many different ways. I would expose your self to the same environment if possible. Try to find out if you have any tutoring services, and if you dont get it ask MULTIPLE people for different perspectives until you get it.
