Hello all, I'm currently a first year Engineering student. While I wasn't really sure what I wanted to be, I knew that I can be pretty good at math and such if I have a firm foundation, and love seeing how things work. So, I chose Civil Engineering as my major.
However, I haven't had good luck with Physics at all. I'd love to blame it on my instructors, but I always seem to be the dumbest kid (I'm actually serious) in my classes. I passed AP Physics 1 with a D, and in the general physics course I'm currently taking, I've been scoring no higher than high F's on my tests, and am in jeopardy of getting a D for the semester overall (need C to pass). I'm just not understanding the concepts, and no matter how many Khan Academy videos I watch, I just don't get it.
Also, while I did fine in Calculus 1, I totally bombed my previous test in Calc 2, am in jeopardy of also getting a D in the class. I'm really losing my motivation, and am seriously doubting if I'm cut out for this. I'm planning on getting a tutor asap, but if I can't grasp the concepts then, I'm not really sure what to do. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
