Failing a Class for the First Time Ever!

hi sacredcow... there is always a first time for everything...dont lose your confidence and give up your studies.. because everybody can give up but only those who toil with the hunger to win will only wins... and once you taste the sweetness of the victrory..winning will beccomes a habit..

Actually everyman should have all kind of experience,,, its call the success of life. i never have any kinds of fail in the exam paper but after reading this i was really willing to fail in one of my exam paper. Actually there is a lesson to learn from your this experience also. dnt neglect any thing what ever it is. even one ant can make you suffer when he bite you in the ear. this is actually happens in our life. most of the time we neglect.

While I don't think you should feel badly about failing your class, I hope you don't give up and are able to try again. I would hate it if I had to take Calculus. And I doubt you will ever need it unless you are going into a field directly connected to it. But you can do it. I am sorry the teacher was rude as well. But I'm glad you aren't letting it get you down. Things like this happen despite our best efforts.

if we are well studying student, once our grade will fallen then we feel like shame. Don't worry, that is common in schooling. read well.

The first time I failed a class was in 8th grade with Algebra. You will either get use to failing or doing something to avoid it from happening. I lost my interest in studying and I started settling for just a passing grade. I chose the first option and I was not happy. Now I am 25 and have regained this interest and I am glad it is back. As for you do not wait years. Act now and you will see the best results. Give your 150%. Do not be like me. Good luck sacredcrow.

when something is going in another way that i dont expected,absolutely i will disappointed with this. luckily in entire my life i never fail a class. but i ve ever feel something that you fel. when i was participating on a contest design. i submit my design and get a good feedback from the contest holder. i ve been rated in the highest ranking, but in the last time, the contest holder didnt choose my design, it really make me down and disppointed. but i can get up from this bad experience and trying harder. maybe you should do better than what you have donbe.

I usually get pretty good grades, but I have failed a couple of classes. I failed science at high school. At that time the Danish high schools were divided into two lines, there was a language line and a science line. I chose the language line, but I still had to take a science class. Our assignments were much easier than the ones they had on the science line, but we still had to pass a science exam to graduate from high school. I have never been good at science. I did study for my science exam, but I must admit that I spent far more time studying for my language exams which I found more interesting and as a result I got good grades in my language classes and failed my science class.

If everything in the life was just happiness and victories you won't know the value of the life..Life like our heart is a mixture of diverse emotions and experiences..Anyway failing class is not that much bad..You know Einstein failed, Edison failed ,Bill Gates was a dropout ... May be you are good the exams are not upto your mark..Just see the bright side of life and enjoy it now..Because you are never gonna get out of it alive...

I haven't really failed a class yet..fortunately.. But I did fail some tests before.. The first time I experienced it I became so down, but then again, I wasn't alone.. SO we just laugh about it now and try harder later.

I have failed two classes. I failed Algebra 2 and History. The reason, well, I was young and it was stupid to cut class and think that I can live like a teenager the rest of life, so I put myself together for the next term, and ended up with a B+ in History and a B- in Algebra.

When I was in the school I never failed but I was always worried about math,(I hated it and I hate it now too),When I was in the university I was even more afraid of math I selected it two times and I retired two because I was scared to fail,then because it was request in my career I took it again and this time I stayed and failed with 57, I took it again and failed again,this was my nightmare in the university. But don't worry keep going everybody have his or her weakness,there different intelligence I am sure that mine is not mathematical intelligence, I love history, and grammar too. Here you have some tips to be better in math. Develop an effective and time-efficient homework/study strategy for, not only your calculus class, but other classes as well. This will help you become a more confident, successful, and well-rounded student. It will lead to a healthier balance between work time and leisure time. Spend at least two to four hours on each homework assignment. This affords you extra time to work on challenging homework problems and helps you organize your thoughts, questions, and ideas. The more time you spend on homework, the more likely you are to articulate clear, concise questions to your classmates and teachers. The more time you spend on homework, the less time you will spend on frantic, last-minute preparation for exams. Definitions, formulas, and theorems that are introduced in class or needed to complete homework assignments should be memorized immediately . Postponing this until it's needed for the exam will impede your work speed on homework assignments and interfere with clearer and deeper understanding of calculus. Spend time working on calculus every day . Doing some calculus every day makes you more familiar with concepts, definitions, and theorems. This familiarity will make calculus get easier and easier one day at a time. Find at least one or two other students from your calculus class with whom you can regularly do homework and prepare for exams. Your classmates are perhaps the least used and arguably your best resource. An efficient and effective study group will streamline homework and study time, reduce the need for attendance at office hours, and greatly improve your written and spoken communication. The best time to use your classmates as study/homework partners is after you have made an honest effort on your own to solve the problems using your own wits, knowledge, and experience. When you encounter an unsolvable problem, don't give up too soon on it. Being stumped is an opportunity for mathematical growth and insight, even if you never solve the problem on your own. If you seek help prematurely, you will never know if you could have solved a tough problem without outside assistance. I wish the best my friend! "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will." Vincent T. Lombardi

i've failed in class a lot ... form 7th grade onwards to 12th grade in math... You have to create the interest,thats my advice
