So I am currently taking 19 units…it sucks so bad, but I have to do like this so I will be okay for the Fall 2014 semester. Being that I am an out of state transfer I pretty much have all of my general education requirements out of the way and now its mostly my core classes left. Anyways, after Monday I will be done with this Statistics class that is the bane of my existence right now. Its an online math (don't ever do it!) class and the book does a really horrible job at explaining HOW to do the work. So when I go to do the classwork or quizzes I am clueless at what is going on. The other night it took me 6 hours to do ONE assignment and my goal for that day was to complete four. So I pretty much resorted to googling all the help because I am in a save-myself-I-need-to-pass-this-class mode. I cannot afford to fail this math class because its a prerequisite for ALL the classes I have to take this coming fall. Ugh. I am only taking it because it is 8 weeks versus 16 weeks if I took it in California. I rather life suck for 8 weeks than the whole semester.This sunday I am driving down to Camp Pendleton so that I can take the two proctored exams for this class and then the worst is OVER. I have to do decent on the midterm and then the final is cumulative so I think I will be okay. I have been copying down in my textbook how to do all the problems and it helped me so much when I took the first test so I am going to do the same thing for these last two. Anyways I just wanted to update you guys because I know I have been MIA. Too much going on right now, but after next week I will be good because the other classes that I am taking are not too hard and I am not spending hours trying to get the work done for them like I am with this math class.
Thats is all until next week!!!
I would NEVER be able to take an online math class. I definitely needed a professor holding my hand and even then I struggled. Ugh...numbers! Hang in there...you got this!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually the 3rd time I have attempted to take a math class, because I really need my hand held too!!! However I was kind of forced to take it because of time/financial constraints…worked out in the end this time though because I passed! Woo hoo!!!
