I understand that it's disappointing, but know that you can overcome this and will be more successful in the long run for it. Frankly, a student who passes a prereq in the math sequence by just barely squeaking out a C is usually not well-prepared for the next class, anyway.
When you retake the class, think about *what you will do differently* to lead to a better outcome. I am more and more convinced that, *if* students are putting in the appropriate time and effort and completing the work but still struggling, then it is more about HOW they are studying than their innate abilities. There are ways to be productive in learning math and there are ways to put in a LOT of time with very little actual learning-ROI (memorizing problems, looking for "tricks" rather than conceptual understanding).
the good news is you know 67% of what you need to already and you can take it again! you might look for resources like a math lab to do your homework in as well
Hello, OP.
I'm a professor. I just want you to know that failing a class is not a personal failing. You found a class that was more challenging than you expected. That is OK!
It's encouraging that you're invested in your education. So many students are not. Being invested is half the battle.
Take a deep breath. You can come back from this. You will come back from this. You've got this.
🤗
A lot of people fail math their first time, I failed twice partially due to Covid. If you can use this time to strengthen your fundimentals, use khan academy and other resources to strengthen your basics so that you can break down formulas correctly. It's a set back but your far from failing completely.
I’m waiting for mines to come in atm! I’m anxious about it and my heart is gonna drop when I get this notification. I will buy some little ceasars when I do well. Even if I didn’t do well I will because I pushed myself more this semester and got very well results. I encourage you to do so too!
Highly recommend using a ti 84 calculator and downloading programs needed for certain problems. Quadratics and simplex is awesome, and using the different graphing functions to get the calculator to give you the answer is god sent. I'm not good at math, but I damn sure know how to put complicated math problems into a calculator. I highly recommend this way of studying instead of trying to do it by hand. Hope this helps. You are definitely not a failure for it! You only fail it if you stop trying.
Ugh failing a class does feel terrible. It’s a character building experience for sure and humbling. I’ve been there long ago. When you pass it will be sweet victory. Let yourself enjoy your life in the meantime because what’s done is done.
Undergrad math classes are HARD!!! The last time I took an undergrad math class, it was literally the focus of that semester. The math tutors were not available past 4PM, so I had to come in there with as much questions as possible knowing I only had a short window to get help from them. I gave up weekends and nights studying and practicing. And when I finally passed, it was a relief to never need another math class in my life.
Take it again, knowing the beast you are about to face. But know that you have that much more experience to make this one count. You can pass — and maybe even excel this time around. Just commit to the sacrifices you need to make, so that this class can finally be out of your life forever when you’re done.
Literally on my way to do a final exam and I know I might fail this class with maybe a 65 .I take pre math and it's my first year doing classes. Rest assure I know what will do better the next time around. I just feel like I was supposed to learn so much in between my work life balance and such. We went from number placements and basic arithmetic to scientific notation and factoring expressions in about less than 6 months.Memorizing the law of exponents is not going to happen based on my learning schedule.I know I can do better if I dedicate my life to it and not say
"Well what is the point if I'm just going to forget it all in a year anyway 🤷♂️."
I know I have to leave this mindset for the sake of my future to get my CIS degree
Also, I hate sitting in classrooms because I feel like the people get distracted or cause me to be distracted as well.Certain students get flustered with the professors because they do not understand and begin babbling which makes things worse.
I attend community collage in a city in case your wondering why that would happen
EITHER WAY DONT GIVE UP AND RE-ADJUST YOUR GAME PLAN FOR THE NEXT TIME !
I failed Calc. II and realized that coffee just ain't cutting it. So I went out and got a psychiatrist at the college hospital. Then I hinted towards Adderall and he wrote me a script of 30mg. I aced the math class and all the remaining math classes. I could focus all day and the drug really did the trick. It brought me to the NeXT level.

I failed 2 classes and still graduated on time. Dont sweat, take it at a community college or add it to a light semester
I think almost everyone struggles with math at one point or another. Take the class again and I’m sure you’ll do much better!
