Does your school have a science learning center where they can help you? Or people who have taken the class before and are paid by the school to do free group tutoring?kind of minor/irrelevent rant but:
Even taking chem 2 for the second time, I'm still struggling with it.... I think i'll have no trouble passing, but a B at this point will be kind of a long shot... ugh. Wish I was better at this stuff. Also I have to move AGAIN in a couple weeks and it's regularly been 97 degrees here lately..ugh
bright side: summer semester is almost over (thank god) and while I still struggle with chemistry, I think I've made some progress on improving my study habits a lot this summer if nothing else, and I might have an interview at an emergency hospital for a vet assistant position
I assume you're going to your professors office hours and asking for help? If not, definitely suggest going. Try the homework first and then go in and they can help you with where you're getting stuck or going wrong. That goes for both office hours and peer tutoring things. If you are going to all of these that you can, is it possible to see if the professor will meet with you for extra time outside their office hours for extra help? I promise the professor doesn't want to see you fail and wants you to succeed and understand the material and pass the class. If you're going to office hours but the stuff still isn't making sense how they're explaining it, make sure you tell them because they might be able to explain it differently or break it down more. Hell, I had to explain some things in terms of shoes to one of my friends in high school Chem because she wasn't understanding the bus seat analogy that the teacher was using, but shoes, that was something she could understand.
Yay for improved study habits and a possible interview though!!!
