I am the type who will stick with something until I get it. But I had to withdraw from my math class at Mesa College. It wasn't that I couldn't keep up, it was that I couldn't understand. 2 of the 3 test I had taken were failures. But I know that doesn't excuse me from having to take the math course for my pre-requisites for having the units needed before I can transfer to say SDSU. If I can, the GPA has to be at least a 4.0. I will have to see about that later.
At Mesa college they do have a time slotted for math tutoring, but at San Diego City College has a room for math tutoring and hours. So, the one at Mesa, I guess due to not having enough tutors, or can't spare a room and a whole day for that. I am just thinking that way from comparing the two schools. I did pay for a math tutor but that math tutor, who was patient still had trouble with getting me to understand the subject. And I have a feeling he thought I didn't study.
Should I continue with my grade going down and risk failing? But then again the W doesn't come off my record, it stays on there forever! I had a W from a class back in 1996 20 years ago. What the heck? I was told I could have the W coded out, but the class where the W was for will still be on my record. It was a black and white photography class. And was told if I wanted to change my major to Fine arts in photography, there would be an issue with the W coded out on the subject I had taken.
I also spoke with two different counselors one before school was to start and he recommend that I take Math 92 at Mesa college, it should cover the Math 96 (which I failed that class, thanks to me not being about to understand the intermediate Algebra and trigonometry). Which was one of the classes needed in my educational plan. Then this second counselor I spoke with just last week, told me I still had to re-take that Math 96 class, since it was a D. She seem to get insulted when I said that San Diego City College was setting me up to fail. She basically told me it was my fault not the schools. Considering San Diego City College's success rate is only 12% So, I disagree with her. They get their money from the State/Federal and the workers there keep their jobs until the day they die. City/State/Federal government workers keep their jobs until they die. I should get one of those jobs where I don't have to do anything and still sit there and get paid for "that job"
I am also not good with test taking, and no matter how many classes on "how to take a test" doesn't work for me.
That is all for today, sorry about ranting but better than crying about this stupid thing.
