At the beginning of this semester these two classes were the easiest classes. I even tested out Calc 1 after the first week, then I started to Calc2 which also seemed not difficult. I was thinking to get “A” in these courses. Even both these classes were time consuming because of homework (less time than engr131 though), I handled them with ease. I got almost 100% in the first midterm exams. But it was just the beginning… Topics started to get more difficult. Second exams were worse, third ones … I don’t know their results yet.
In physics I am trying not to lose points in homework, recitations, labs, lecture iclickers, because each point counts. I felt disappointed once I was late to a lecture and missed one iclicker question. Then I was more upset when I and my teammate cannot get all the checkpoints in a recitation. In Calc 2 things are even worse. I completely failed my last midterm (expecting about 50). But I still have two finals, in which I will do my best. Will try.
Hang in there. I was also feeling overconfident at the beginning of the semester. Just keep on studying and you'll do fine. I did that and got a really good grade in physics.
