Double majoring in Finance and Accounting. The Philosophy professor wanted god tier writing over human sexuality. I didn't do well(I didn't care to do it) on the homework for Economics. I would have gotten a B if I did. Statistics was pretty hard for me, but I didn't study because I don't care at this point. I'm at the level where it's pass and go mode. I can't afford graduate school and it's pretty obvious I'm not the school type of person.

Well I don't see how that's surprising since there are tons of shitty state schools in any top 50 graduate program ranking. Since only the top ~10 (sometimes as low as 4) programs get a disproportionate amount of attention it isn't even worth going to, say, the 7th ranked once since nobody gives a fuck.

Honestly it will be a bit of an awkward thing to talk about because he'll probably expect you're asking how to improve your grade. I know you feel it's disrespectful, but I find it unlikely the prof would dislike you as a person just because you dropped the ball on the final. If you want to maintain a relationship with the guy, though, you could wait a few weeks and then bring it up when you first talk to him again.

Something that helps me is studying at the school library. If I study alone, I tend to get distracted and goof off. If I'm at the library, the social environment forces me to study, because what else am I going to do at the library? Also, studying won't work unless you study correctly.

A lot of people think that by just skimming the pages everything will eventually click. What really happens, is that they only get a fragmented picture of the material because they aren't analyzing in a critical manner. Textbooks should really be read in the same way a regular book is read.

Another area is time management. You need to set a course schedule that works for you. I've seen many people that load up their semester with difficult classes because they are "smart enough" to handle it, ironically they end up doing shit overall. Be smart and take it easy. Studying time is crucial too. You must set a schedule and abide by it, other wise you'll constantly be stressed trying to meet a deadline. It might feel that you won't have time for anything else, but if you manage your time well, you can definitely have some free time.

If you are already doing this, then just accept your C's, you'll feel much better if you do.

Actually enjoying the material you are learning is paramount. For my study habits:

I tend to do my homework a few days before it's due, and I will review it the night before I turn it in. This helps in a couple of ways. It gives me time to ask the professor if something seems wrong or weird, and I am essentially studying the material while at the same time making sure all my answers are correct.

Knowing the type of questions professors ask on exams helps tremendously too. This is something I think that most people overlook, but is something that has been extremely helpful for me. For example, do they like to ask two or three long-form questions on their tests, do they have true and false, is the material only stuff covered in class or on the homework, etc. If you can 'read' your professor, you can hone in on what's significant and cut out the crap.

This is really all I've done to succeed in college. The only 'sit down with my textbook and notes' studying I do is the day before the test for maybe 3 hours or so. At that point, I'm just reinforcing the material or filling in the gaps for things that I may have not learned fully. The major I'm in requires essentially no memorization, so if you're doing something like biology this is probably a terrible studying strategy for you.

And no, I don't pop addies (I don't even really drink coffee), my school is good, and I'm not a genius.

Cs indicate that you put in effort and succeeded to the minimum degree. Cs are a hell of a lot better than Ds or Fs. its hard for a professor to give you a D or F because they care about their career and most likely you.

Got A (technical writing for engineering course), C (optics, as an elective), A- (system hardware), A (web programming) last semester. I always tend to fuck up at least one class, but do well on others. Oh well, I'm satisfied with my GPA.

Yeah, it was enough to get me into a PhD program for chemistry although it is at a low ranked school.

My cumulative GPA was 2.96 but if you don't count the first 3 semesters it's about 3.3, which I mentioned in my statement of purpose essay in my application to the PhD program.

I do think its easier to get good grades in 300 level/400 level courses, though, because there is much less pressure on the department to weed people out, especially at my uni (stony brook)'s chem major because there are TONS Of people trying to get into its medical school, and they all take those low level chem courses.

Eat well and regularly. Drink lots of water. Have some coffee if you need it, but not before you've eaten. Stay hydrated, get sleep, don't go out and see friends when you have assignments or reading to do.

I also don't overload myself with credits, because I know I have limitations. I also try to plan things out ahead of time, because I can get randomly taken out of commission at the drop of a hat.

From there, I just remember to be excited about what I'm doing. I'm making real progress on something that means a lot to me. I try not to give in to feelings of despair. I let myself believe it's possible, and I work as hard as I can to get there.

I'm not 4.0 btw, but I'm pretty close. Smarter people could follow the above and get there, though. And, there are probably plenty of people here smarter than me.

Getting a 90%+ average is possible literally anywhere (in the US). Obviously it varies, some schools you barely need to show up, others will be difficult.
By far the biggest reason people struggle academically is because they're shit at studying. If you study enough (this isn't an obscene amount, a couple hours a day will do it for anybody) and properly you have to be an extremely unlucky turbobrainlet to not succeed.

I'm at a state school for EE, I'm an older student as I decided to be a dumbass and join the army out of college (though I used my bonus to take advantage of the stock market recovery and made about $600,000 so it kind of works out). Anyways it's so fucking easy to get straight A's and I can't believe all these kids struggle, all you have to do is go to class and do the homework and read the books.

If you're not getting straight A's you need to reevaluate what you want in life because you obviously don't give a shit about your education.

Not really sure why I do so poorly, I think its mostly due to only being a part time student and depression/anxiety.

Main reason I haven't offed myself yet is because I'm my family's bloodlines last chance, My brother keeps dating niggers and wont stop smoking weed, and my sister is some SJW full feminist dyke that thinks multiple genders is a thing, I just wanted to be the good kid of the bunch, the only things that keep me living really is NASA on the small hope that mars might actually happen.

I probably should and will Kill myself if I keep on this path, I have 0 freinds so the only ones who would really miss me are family

Problem is that OP doesn't know what the professor wants him to write. Humanities is such that you must know what the teachers want to see, which they will not explicitly tell you, so you have to read between the lines to unearth their personal opinions. It's just a matter of psychoanalysis. This makes me sound like I hate the arts, but I actually like it because it is easy to score well in it once you understand some golden rules.

Because universities started as places where rich people go and learn in general about the world and whatever they like. Nowadays, people treat it strictly as a financial investment, in which everything they learn must be geared towards helping them get a specific job. But lots of colleges still retain some of their roots and believe in making their students worldly critical thinking "renaissance men" who have social skills, don't have black-and-white radical stances on every social issue, and things like that. Of course, that is the goal, but whether they are successful in reaching that goal depends on the quality of the university.

>How fucked am I, /sci/?
Not at all, or completely.

I had a friend that went to DeVry and got an amazing job at a prestigious company before he even graduated. No work experience, no internships, while at DeVry, a school that isn't even accredited.

I went to a decent state university, the best in my state, but still a public school, so nothing fancy. I graduated with a 3.5 and I haven't been able to find a job, or even an internship after 8 months and 500 job and internship applications.

The difference between us? My friend is very social, and someone he met somewhere got him that job. He failed all of the screening tests, but he's a really likable guy, so they hired him over probably hundreds of candidates (since it was an entry level programming job). I'm a not a social person on the other hand.

So to answer your question, it really doesn't matter whether you get Cs or As, unless you want to get into a prestigious graduate school, it's all about who you know, or meet. So don't be like me and socialize while you still can, and if you already do, don't sweat this off semester and try to do better in the future. 10 years from now it will all be meaningless. You can always lie about your gpa anyway, almost no one checks, and if they do, who cares?

I actually think some companies do this for the novelty factor. "Oh look, we got some guy from X random university, or with no degree at all! We're so diverse, quirky and unique!". It's quite similar to how universities try to aim for a well balanced class - there's room for some smart people, but you can't fill the entire class with them since you still need the athletes and whatnot.

The only problem is that you really have to be at one of those universities or backgrounds to count as a diversity hire. So basically your friend got the drop on you the whole time and you don't even realize it.

If the thing that stands out the most on your resume is a state school GPA of 3.5, you'll just get beat out by the boatloads of people with 4.0 GPAs, and at better schools. It counts for nothing. It's better to polish your brown nosing skills instead. Recruiters and executives love getting their asses kissed more than, say, a guy who can potentially be smarter than them and threatens their sense of accomplishment.
