Members TheGirlfriend Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'm really nervous. Last term was hard. One of my classes was a 4.5 hour round trip commute from my house, and I ended up withdrawing. I failed math. If I don't don't get all A's this term I might explode.

Members MX DRUMMER Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Try not to over think it. For myself when I get worked up over something and over think it I end up introducing factors that simply wouldn't have been there had I just gone with it and taken it as it came. You will do fine. Try not to worry so much. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manoeuver Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Good luck kiddo. Wish I could help with the math. It's been easier for me when I think of it as a tool instead of something difficult I have to do. Finding applications for the math I had to learn was most helpful. Answer the 'when am I gonna use this' question for yourself so it's not an excuse to do poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lsits Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 The thing I've discovered about math is that it's like the drums. It's all about repetition. The more you do it the better you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnbe Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Lost my job at 54 and went back to school. Studied land surveying. 4 hours of homework every night for 7 quarters. All math. The only ones who had real problems were the ones who didn't, or claimed they didn't have time, to do the work. We started with basic arithmetic and ended with calculus. The key was: do the work regardless of how long it takes. Never accept that you "just don't get it". Ask questions until it's clear. Good luck!

Members manoeuver Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've gone up to surveyors on the job and asked them about the work. It looks fascinating. Outside work, but problem solving rather than ditch digging. Maybe I'll do that when I grow up. Mostly geometry I would think. I wish I had to know calc to do my work, I'd be a bright lad then.

Members FitchFY Posted September 25, 2012 Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 Good luck! My girlfriend has been in her industry since she was 18 (now 31) and is still planning on taking classes this fall to finish her degree. I'm a huge supporter of ANY education - both my parents were teachers! Get on it, good luck, and (I hate to quote Nike, but) just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Merlin Coryell Posted September 25, 2012 Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 I can try to hook you up with all the best stimulants from work. I am jealous of the stuff these kids get, while I have to chug horrid energy drinks to stay awake! All the best stimulants and neuroleptics money can buy! Few decent pain killers though...

Hell, its Portland, ratio of Microbrews to people is 14:1. There likely is a FemmeAle, but it would be hard to say if its favored by the feminists or the CD/TV crowd more.
