There are, perhaps, methods I could offer to do well within your major. However, I cannot acount for the grading practices by every professor in every department in the college.I don’t know who gives an A maybe twice a year because of high standards (which may be the bane of every other professor who advises students, or it may be the professor whose B students and even C students have come out the other side with increased skills in something vital to the study. The History professor who demands careful sources, logical and well stated arguments, wide research, and proper grammar may turn out a future award winning book writer. Who is proud of the B they got.I don’t know who actually grades on a curve meaning that x number of students fail even if no person scored under 78%. This is quite rare, usually when curves are applied it only is declaring the highest grade (not counting those who were over 100% due to doing the extra credit) as 100% and everyone else’s grade goes up except the person whose 98% is the 100 and had an A+ anyway (in that case no one got a perfect paper even with extra credit questions).I know some colleges have classes aimed at weeding out freshmen and sophomores unable to do the work. Usually these are state schools whose entrance requirements do not guarantee someone can do upper level work. Some of those students will in the process of this class learn how to study, how to write, how to work through a complex gen ed class (I understood that the Humanities 1 and 2 classes at my first college were this type of thing, but as I walked out with a History degree and had taken twice the required English classes in high school (they were more interesting than study hall) this was not out of my wheelhouse. I will assume though that you are entering with the skills from high school firmly in place and such a 100 level course isn’t going to destroy you, but the sciences and nearly every other department are going to see you.Economics is not my favorite memory. Due to a health crisis I left that university during that year. The university I could attend while dealing with my health did not require the class. Only after I graduated (and after I took a minor in Psychology to avoid Statistics during a second time my bad health went up to “crisis”- in both cases I was cleared of the most terrifying things I was being tested for but left with major symptoms to deal with) did I hear about the forms of dyscalculia and be diagnosed.There are unavoidables in your life. I graduated with high honors, after everything. ADHD (which was known and accommodations used for after my first year), my illnesses (which were known by the Disabilities Services office and also got reasonable things, like having less trouble rescheduling tests on days my body wouldn’t leave the bed)I don’t remember using extra time on tests, but I could test in a quiet, CCed room. I wrote my essays on the computer there. So my hand didn’t cramp. I experimented when I began Ritalin, a low dose. I learned that I did some tasks with writing papers better on days I took it (it messed with my physical issues to do it all the time) and others without it.While Ritalin only applies for people who need it, finding out the conditions you pick out facts well in and the conditions in which you are good at making something new out of them was important for me. I also found that going over information in different states, which could be caffeinated or not, tired or rested, coming back from studying math one day and from your Lit reading a different day (I used to roll a die to decide in what order to do anything that was not immediately pressing like review for a test the next day. Hopefully that was only a “need to spend the half hour on” task and not “well, nothing else is happening tonight” one, but it didn’t get knocked off because I rolled other things and ran out of the ability to sit up- I did mention my health).Learn to use the library. It might have the Library of Congress classification system, so if you’re used to Dewey Decimal that is actually a thing. The computer systems bypass a lot of that, but heading over and looking at the books next to the ones you got in your search might offer some neat ideas for future papers sometime when you don’t already have more books on your desk than you thought would fit. That semester I had Humanities and 5 others I took a photo with a yardstick. Many were “read the chapters the index claims will be helpful” books but not all. Some were from professors who lectured the book, some from ones who had a mix of material that was duplicated and things they assumed you read, thank you.Usually only upper classes have either parallel tracks where you are studying a book by a contemporary to the period author on your own and the class never touches on that, just the historical time/place the book is about, or you read the readings because the class is basically student discussion on whatever was in the reading and you are possibly going to end up debating a paragraph’s meaning with 3 other students for 35 minutes. Pulling in basically any other class or current event that is germane. Professors did give 2 minute explanations when someone cited something that either wasn’t in a necessary prerequisite or was something most of us spent 4 minutes on 3 years ago and back in World History Since (I think the Industrial Revolution but I took that in 1999 and since “until whenever” was also required does it really matter enough for me to find the books?) and was probably buried somewhere in our synapses.My dad once advised me never to trade in a book for my major or minor. Which is a financial hit (assuming there wasn’t an edition change anyway). Dad has a PhD in Analytical and Bio-Chemistry (1 dissertation accepted by both programs due to unusual circumstances involving his Master’s, which he hadn’t planned on but unusual circumstances) and was a professor.Today, I can easily pull up whatever I was trying to remember from American History 101. Or 102. Or World History 103 or 104. I don’t even have to listen to a modem. If you know how to verify sources your mileage may vary.I write, today, not on a computer with 6 resources spread in a semicircle around the back of my chair full of bookmarks (Thomas Jefferson’s revolving book stand, a cube that held an open book on each side and a 5th on a stand on top, is a thing of wonder). But with a second tablet (I didn’t intend to be computerless but it has been reality for a while) with a very interesting search history on my browser. And Kindle books.Use your syllabus. That way you can stay closer to where it doesn’t matter which order you study in most of the time. Use office hours and TAs and study groups before you are completely lost.I believe I had an easier time when I needed help because I participated when my health allowed. I debated. I asked questions. I wasn’t the kid Doctor G had never heard from wanting a break, which maybe meant his impression was only that I couldn’t make the test. Questions of why (assuming the school doesn’t tell the professor you submitted the plane ticket proof and obituary or whatever to the office that handles that and yeah, there was probably an actual family crisis… policies there will probably vary and be in the student handbook). Yeah, I had gone in on lecture days sick, at a place where classes were small enough he could see I was off. I was probably actually sick. Subconscious bias in grading essays (even if some try to have names covered by Post-It’s or something before grading for this reason. Still, I was there 7 years, my voice was familiar by then) is hopefully minor, but impressions may help.Driving yourself into the ground before midterms will not leave you mentally, physically, or emotionally ready for the second half of the term. Similarly, Dad was an advisor for 30 years and cannot remember a time he told someone their schedule was too much that they did great. A few had true issues such as only being able to afford 1 more semester and they did pass, but not with grades up to their usual standards and with high costs in their personal life and often health. Advisors do know (assuming you don’t end up with a random administrator, if you do ask if a professor in your department to check the advice in office hours or by e-mail to ask if it makes sense) how other majors have managed the requirements, including often combined minors’ requirements. They know a back-breaking schedule.Do not let yourself be derailed by the first B. Or a C on a draft. Or an above average anything from a class (especially outside your area) designed to get the folks there to party to stop getting registered for classes before the people who want them and are in the second registration group can find out they are full. Or one (probably in your area) designed to ensure you will be able to write a graduate thesis if you move on, or can help prepare a State of the Union address (History degree’s are fairly common on political staffs), or write a newspaper article about how the current trend is informed by previous generations’ lessons and get action.Keep going.
