First Discrete Math and now Linear Algebra… I hate this especially because I studied pretty hard (although in a somewhat disorganized way).

I can refuse to keep the grade and take these exams again in like three weeks, but seeing the kind of questions that were asked, I’m not sure I can master these topics in such little time. Also, in Februrary I have two other exams for which I didn’t even began to prepare for, so I would have to study a lot… And to throw more fuel, I want to graduate with honors… But something now tells me that it’s something that is very unlikely to happen.

I hate university, there is literally nothing I like about it.

    I wasn’t implying a disability, I’m saying teaching style sometimes clashes with learning style. I had an issue with geometry, but I had a break between that and another class. I was fortunate that a different professor for a different class shared the break room at the same time and took me under his wing and tutored me on the lesson just prior, so I was able to pull a great grade from the class (and introduced me to Camus)! A couple of decades later I had a teacher for geometry and no option for a remedial class or tutor, so I dropped the class and wasn’t able to complete the course of study.

      Oh, I see! Having a teacher that makes things click for you is indeed great. It’s kinda weird though, my teachers explain certain things with a lot of clarity, yet make a lot of other things needlessly complicated from my point or view.

        That seems pretty universal, even in conversations with close friends, in my experience. Maybe part of it is how we relate to how certain words are put together in certain ways because of different upbringings and real world personal experiences. Kind of like the small confusion just prior among you and I.

        Anyway, apologies for the confusion, and thanks for affording me the benefit of receiving my explanation! Best to you. 🫡
