$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('killJOY', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')'m in college and taking a Survey of Physics course and I tried my hardest but it will be a miracle if I can get an A. I think I might but it depends on the final which is tomorrow. I salute anyone in hard sciences and I guess that's why they're called hard.....
Good for you! If you try hard, you can settle for less than an "A". To aspire for one in the first place is a good sign. I tried to be a science major for two years, and given the difficulty I encountered, I admire anyone who can pass a course load in science.
It's your choice to be there. Use your time well.
Thanks killJOY, actually I am studying to be a paralegal or possibly a lawyer if I find this greed in me grow too large but there are Areas of Inquiry required for my four year college and I have to complete them. Physics is the hardest course I have taken in college so far. There was a time when I thought I wanted to be a nurse until the nursing tests messed me up so anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, etc. don't measure up to physics. I hate significant figures. I am getting better just in time for the end of the course. Our instructor knows it is hard so he will let us drop our lowest quiz and test and if you attend every class, as I have, then your grade is increased by 5 percentage points so an 85 becomes a 90 and so forth. Dropping my lowest test which was an 80% I have 87.5, 90 and 96 which average out to 91% so if I get an A this semester it will be just squeaking by. That being said I have done well on the labs but physics is HARD!!!! Again, I salute everyone taking it. Thanks again for the comments killJOY.
