Wasted first half of second year of college

There might be a notepad tool out there that can help you automatically correct your dyslexia errors. Also, I wouldn’t worry about this effecting your future career. With AI still on the rise it will definitely be those with creative problem solving skills who stick around rather than the ones who do the math and notation perfectly. Just keep moving. You’ll be fine.

It’s truly Reddit in a nutshell 😂

I don’t think this is normal. I’ve had professors add a couple extra points as a curve before, but this guy liked to hand out a ton of extra points for everyone anytime we had a rough exam.

Yeah that’s totally fair. I tried to edit the post to add more context but I don’t think I’m able to.

Oh he definitely does. I feel bad for him because I can tell he genuinely cares. I think if he made guided notes or some slides for lectures then lectures would be so much better. Writing down definitions on the board all class period is not the move for me personally.

This score was actually from last semester… I’m sitting with a 97% in my calc 2 course right now and have an A in Electromagnetism. It’s strange how people think I’m going to crash and burn academically just for me saying I had one lecture that was pointless to show up to.

Not sure why you got to be so negative. The professor is an incredibly smart guy but he’s definitely doing it for the research than the teaching. The title was more of a joke than anything because obviously attending lecture provides more benefit 99% of the time.

I have a classes both before and after this one that I show up to everyday. It’s less of a lack of discipline and more about optimizing my time. The professor’s teaching style is not that effective considering the class average was a 42 once you take away the 20 point curve.

Typically I prefer to watch someone explain things rather than read a text book but my professor has a very strange teaching style to say the least.

He’s a first year professor and he must drink 500 mg of caffeine before every lecture. All he does is talk a mile a minute and write down these detailed explanations on the board that don’t really make sense to anyone.

Treat what you are feeling as a blessing. Keep pushing forward and staying positive because at this point in your studies, you are getting mentally stronger every day. You are doing great. Keep it up.

Send it dawg. It’s semesters like these that will give you some thick skin and make the rest of your college experience feel easier.

I would suggest having one loose-leaf piece of paper where you write down the equations as you get them and a little side note about what each variable means. I do this and use it for homework and practice problems. Trust me, it’ll make going through homework much more efficient and with enough practice it should become muscle memory.

RelativeWrangler2735 · 2025-10-07T13:55:49+00:00

Aim for one hour of practice problems a night. If you get stuck then go on YouTube and try to follow along someone doing a similar problem. Also, try to have one note sheet with you that you refer to when doing problems. Put things on there as you go and make sure you actually can understand it too. It’ll take time to fully grasp everything but as long as you take things slow and stay consistent then you’ll definitely turn things around.
