/sci/ - Science & Math

So in school I am doing alright in most areas except for one math. I'm not full tard when it comes to math but on my last math test I scored a D+ even though I found the test wuite easy. Although I suck when it comes to math I am pretty great when it comes to english. Now I'm coming to ask you guys to ask you am I f@cked and will english lead me to a useless degree and am I better off just trying to better my mathematical skills despite having a terrible math teacher.

Please robots help me.

>going to uni for electronic engineering

>dickhead teacher's lectures are glacially slow
>teach myself out of the book and do homework in class instead of listening to him go over last nights homework for half the class
>literally haven't written down anything he's said all term
>test day
>do the test, feel pretty good
>get test back
>he marked 2 problems wrong because it wasn't how he showed it in class
>this is how I learned all this shit 4 years ago
>no teacher since then has had a problem with it

tl;dr he gave me a C on the test for thinking for myself

fuck everything

Basically, my system was based on the fact I work at Pizza Hut. Every day I would try to memorise a new fact about Nuclear Physics, and for each fact I wanted to memorise I would put a piece of food on a customers pizza that wasn't supposed to be there. For example I was trying to memorise if an atom or a molecule is smaller, so for every customer who ordered a cheese pizza that day I snuck in a single mushroom and said 'atoms are smaller' then I could remember from the thrill of messing up a customers order that atoms are smaller than Molecules.

It actually worked very well because before, I did not even know how atoms were made, and did not realise that nuclear radiation was dangerous, and now I understand much more. However, I got in trouble at work for putting ham on a veggie pizza when I was studying Nuclear Fusion so I had to stop learning. However, I feel it worked nicely for me.
