i attempt my hw problems and get about 20% right or go in the right direction when solving but i need the solution manual to solve each problem. i made a 60/100 on the first exam. i have another one coming up in 2 weeks. it will cover equilibrium bc we just started that a few days ago.

in class the professor asks questions and i can usually answer 1-2 questions with accuracy but not all of them. i don’t always know what he is talking about.

i study ahead so the info in class is now new to me when he lectures.

what advice can you give to someone in this situation? i feel like i’m very very slowly improving but still need a lot of help. i’m passing the class right now but who knows what will happen later. is this normal or should i be doing something else to improve?

almost every problem I attempt I have to look up a solution for it because I can’t independently work the problem on my own.

I can spend two hours on a problem and it’s so absolutely incorrect. I’m not going in the right direction with some of them. every once in a while, I’ll land on a good direction but I’ll still need assistance.

The only time I’m able to solve a problem on my own is if it’s a very basic simple problem where there are two clear forces and an angle so I use law of cosine or something simple like that.

I study seven days a week. I’m passing the class right now, but there’s gonna be an exam eventually so I could just as easily fail the class after the exam.

is this common? Am I supposed to be this lost and reliant on the solution manual? I overhear other students discuss how cooked they are and how nervous they are in the class but I don’t know exactly where they stand with their ability to work on the problems independently.

I have a job so I’m open to hiring a tutor, but I’m scared that I’m so lost that the tutor will get frustrated with me. I can’t believe how unbelievably lost I am. I’ve never experienced this before. I don’t even know how to articulate my ideas if I did get a tutor and it’s just me staring at a blank sheet of paper trying to come up with some idea when I’m reading questions/homework so I don’t even have any type of directionality sometimes so discussing ideas with the tutor might not be a valuable use of time.

I literally study every day and work on problems every single day.

how do i study for statics if i had to look up the solution for almost every problem? i was able to get 20%-50% of the problem on my own but still needed the solution manual . unable to solve them on my own.

thanks

Do we have classes on that day?

Thank you fellow Eagles 🦅

The old place I went to closed down.

I take gabapentin and ibuprofen 800 for my arthritis and sciatic nerve pain.

it helps reduce about 40% of the pain. but unfortunately does absolutely nothing for the sciatic pain.

previous nurse practitioner that prescribed me the drugs said that 40% is good enough which i understand her prospective but what could I tell to this new nurse practitioner where she will believe that I need additional resources to help with the pain.

idk what additional resources will look like. I’m not sure if that means increase the drugs I have now or new drugs or something holistic.

thanks

i got the kit. anyone have some tutorial suggestions they think are good? i was able to make an LED blink today.

i’m very new to all this and coding. sophomore in engineering school.

I took my final and for some reason there’s a zero as a placeholder. Just trying to figure out what my grade is.
