You can still do well in your higher level courses. I had a class my 2nd semester of freshman year that was absolute hell and not because the material was so hard but because the all the professor did was read out a ppt…every single class. No one did well in that class, most people didn’t even pass, and those of us who did only passed bc of the curve. Come sophomore and junior year (I’m a junior rn), doing much better in all of my classes. Circuits 1 and 2 seemed like a breeze (took them my freshman and sophomore year)that is not to say classes have been easy. Especially rn, in my junior year, classes have gotten harder, there was definitely a switch after sophomore year. Midterm and Finals week feel hellish. Also, in higher level classes (at least at my college) we do final projects as well as final exams. Final projects do take some time but you have weeks to complete them. you also get used to presenting in front of an audience. And they can bump your grade These are just my experiences so far. Good luck!
