ok so i am 19 years old, 20 in october, and i am in college. i have around 30 credits so i guess iam a sophomore. anyway i chose to be a science major because i want to be a doctor. the thing is i am horrible at math. i couldn't pass algebra in highschool, and graduated by taking remedial courses. upon entering college ihad to take a refresher of algebra last semester called elementary algebra. it was like slopes quadratics, rational equations etc. so anyway i barely got an A in that class. ii just started my intermediate algebra class today, and it was the first day. we reviewed a lot of the REAL easy stuff, that was even pre req for elemntary alg. like slopes and functions etc. well i keep getting my homework qurestions wrong and iam so confused on this stuff.
i need to pass this math in order to get any degree this is basic highschool math, and if i choose to keep my science degree i need to go up to calc 2. without this math course i cant take my science courses.
should i drop out of school? id go to the math center for help, but idiot understand a whole list of problems and l;ast time i went back in elementary algebra they got upset with me for asking so many questions.
i have a 4.0 GPA right now but that is only because i took biology courses, English courses, sociology courses and history and Spanish courses which are more memorization than logic.
i have a photographic memory, but im to stupid for alg at 20 years old!
don't know if i was clear or not but last semester i passed elementary algebra with an A. elementary algebra is basically algebra 1. the stuff we are learning now that ifor some reason am having difficulty with was material that was even review for the last course in which i received my A. i guess i never really mastered it.
