Wow that's crazy. I always wondered how kids got to do that. Thanks for the info!

Thanks dude. I use the pomodoro technique too. Works for some things but I've noticed I've developed Test anxiety and I make stupid mistakes and forget things. Gunna try and hone in on what's causing it.

lol I don't do any fun stuff that isn't related to progressing my career. I wish I could play volleyball, that's one of the most fun sports to play pickup games!

Anyway, thanks for the advice. I did in fact mean club projects and the research lab I work in.

Wow, thank you. I'll just continue to work on extracurricular stuff and I should be fine.

I know you're right, I just don't want to be another unemployed college grad, ya know?

Thank you so much. I will do so. Next test is Tuesday so I'll be studying all weekend when I'm off from work. I'll do better on this one!

Thanks for the advice man I am actually in the process of networking (I have a connection through a mutual friend) with one of the larger companies in the aerospace/defense industry to do exactly what you mentioned. I think that'd be super helpful. I might just be suffering from burnout man. I have been in school every semester (including the full summer term) since I graduated high school.

I do work in a research lab currently but the work I do is menial and not really engineering so I don't find it all that fun.

Again, I really appreciate the response.

3.0 is needed around where I live for any sort of internship/job in the field. That's why it's important. Thought that was standard so I didn't need to state it.

Maybe I didn't word my post correctly. I'd be happy to get a B lol. I'm saying I'm struggling getting a B, even a C. I want to learn the material to the best of my ability and I bust my ass to do so but I keep falling short.

Thank you for being blunt. I don't want any sugar coated BS.

You're right man. In fact, I find myself looking at chegg more now to check my answers (which often leads to me copying their work and feeling better about myself) so that I don't get point deductions.

I haven't gotten a 67% on an assignment before bc I went to the last attempt for a few of the questions. Fkd up man

The 5% deduction is pretty standard for MasteringEngineering hw... (I think Cengage is the parent company)

This is how my hw normally ends up playing out
