![]() ![]() I feel you're fortunate to have failed so early. The most important thing you need to know is that you're not alone. Now that i look back ( a year ago) when i was at grad school, I see those who got good grades were the ones who spent time with their advisers seeking help whenever they felt insecure. Be honest with you're professor about the difficulties you face. But, this time you approach it differently. ![]() You don't know the power of showing up to the same class you failed. I see huge code-base, half of which I haven't seen and understood and the 1% of code base that i'm familiar with, I tend to forget them often. I write code for a living and I face challenges everyday. It shows that you're intimated or you've let yourself get intimidated very soon. This is a pure case of self-doubt of self-worth. I’m planning to work a lot harder on the programming side just worried I don’t have that “programmers brain” You fix that and repeat until you see the best solution. But, this time you see less errors or different errors. It works this way - You write code, you encounter errors and then you write again and see errors again. but thanks man I’ll put more time in □□ Thanks man I really really appreciate that comment seriously ! I thought I was going to get bashed in the comments, and well I’m assuming they will let me retake it I hope they don’t throw me out after failing one class out of the three! This is my first semester of the first year,Īnd perhaps yes ! There’s a lot that do but I imagine the silent ones probably don’t or are lying, but same here most was almost proud to joke that they had no idea what was going on in the maths modules but won’t admit struggling with programming (perhaps they see it as more embarrassing to be struggling in programming on a CS degree)īut I will man ! It’s really upset and shook me up and made me realise the level I need to be at and practice to be up to scratch ! I’m not frightened to admit that 4 hours ago I was sat in library nearly in tears trying different things to get some code to work on a mock exam and not having a clue where to really go with it after the first two things I tried didn’t work. TL:DR failing my intro to programming class at uni but doing well in my other modules, am I cut out for this degree ? Anyone else ever had these struggles at uni ? I appreciate you taking the time to read this. however I’m really down and upset with myself that that is going to be the outcome, question is I guess for someone like me will I really struggle through the degree ? I’m planning to work a lot harder on the programming side just worried I don’t have that “programmers brain” I really want to be able to get through this but also don’t want to put myself in more debt for something I’m not cut out for. ![]() ![]() Point is I’m 80% sure that I’m going to fail this class and have to re sit it. sounds stupid when I type it out I know.īut now I’ve got the very basics of it but of course with the break neck speed of uni the exams are all this week and I’m still struggling along to get past the basics but certainly improving just slowly. my intimidation got the better of me and I just didn’t practice nowhere near the amount I needed to because it’s that fear of not understanding it. When I started 2 or 3 months ago I had literally never programmed and i found it extremely intimidating despite having a huge respect for it and people that could do it. A bit of context I’m studying computer science at a university in England, here first semester we have 3 modules, intro to programming, computer systems, quantitative methods of computing (mathematics) I’ve done well in my other 2 modules but I’m just really struggling with programming ! ![]()
