Fuck off OP, my situation is worse. I got a 5 on the AP calc, but had to drop calc 2 because I was gonna get a C or D. I might as well print out that "W" in red and staple it to the back of my shirt because it's never fucking going away.

This is literally me right now, deathly worried about my discrete mathematics class, I have an A in the class now, but the final is worth so much that depending on what I get my final grade can vary as wildly as D (if I got like 20%) to A (if I got 100)

Why the fuck do they do this? Why let everything ride so fucking hard on one stupid test. Fuck. If I get a D in this classs I'm not going to change my major but fucking hell.

Yes, I know that now. I learned that the hard way. Fuck AP courses. I trusted those highschool teachers. They said we'd all do great. Now I have to ACTUALLY study, I wish they'd have told me that earlier. You guys don't even have to make fun of me, I will make fun of myself for you. I am a dumb-dumb. Fuck.

Nope. Same experience. Nothing clicked for me till calc II. Pumping out integrals, rotations, volumes, sequences and series was far easier. Only 2 or 3 people in my class though the same as me.

I have no idea where this Calc II meme started. The difficulty of classes are professor dependent rather than material dependent anyway so it could be we lucked out somehow.

Jesus, my linear algebra class was entirely proof based. I legitimately feel like I was tricked when I got a perfect score on the first midterm (all computations) then the final had proofs for 8/10 questions. I've never taken a proof or logic class. I got smashed.

And organic chemistry... well, it was just really hard.

This is legitimately stupid. And it won't work once your in upper division work. The homework is to practice and reinforce your learning, and professors don't think that you're some kind of lazy genius, they think you're an idiot for needlessly letting your grades suffer.

Homework is almost free points. Just turn it in dude

Getting a B means you didnt apply yourself.

>>8540215
Im a junior and ive picked mostly professors with homework assignments that arent ever graded.

Just because the homework isnt for a grade doesnt mean its not necessary, but i dont believe you should be graded on work you are supposed to fail at doing in order to learn where your weaknesses are.

All of my upper division classes last semester and spring is assigned hw worth 10% of the grade or not graded at all.

I think that it has to do with proofs. For a lot of people it is their first introduction to proofs. If you had proofs already it puts you way ahead of others.
