So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes.
Have you ever had to retake a prerequisite in order to better understand a subject?
Kind of.
My alma mater had two calculus tracks. One for engineers and one for everyone else.
I took easy calc 1 during undergrad. I had take easy calc 2 later on, and then take a “bridge” course that takes the easy calc kids up to speed with the engineers so they can take calc III.
That bridge course was a redo of calc 1 and 2 but a little more difficult.
I am very glad I did it that way. I’m really good at math, but calc III is bullshit (crosswind calculations, fuck dude). I had a very thorough understanding of the requisite material and it def helped.
