Hey everyone, so I am having a real tough time with my calc 1 class. I have been struggling ever since day one. I have a very high B at the moment, but I have to overwork myself just to teach myself the material. The professor sucks. I've never had such a terrible instructor. He doesn't explain anything at all and I have to teach myself the material all the time. I am currently taking 15 credit hours, but if I drop the class, I'll have 12, which means I'll still be a full-time student, but I'd be behind...plus I get a W on my transcript...which I'm not too sure how much that would affect me..I'm not sure how med schools take W's. I feel like my grade is just going to go down the drain by the time the final comes.

If you guys could please help me and give advice or suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

A high B is pretty good. Why not work your ass off and get an A?

If you stay in the B range, you should be fine. It's not the end of the world if you don't get an A in a class.

it's not that I am aiming for an a, its just that lately the material hasn't been understandable. I try to get help, and learn on my own, but it doesn't help. I want to get out now before it's too late. I'm at about an 80 atm. 85-100 is an A. 75-84 is a B. 65-74 is a C. I feel that on this last test, since I am not understanding the material, I will do bad on the test. It's extremely hard when the professor doesn't explain at all.

85 is an "a"?!? Can I go to your school?

Try using Khan Academy or Pauls Online Math Notes. That should help you for Calc 1
