I’m tired boss. I’ve had a really rough semester and I can’t look at my calculus without my eyes glazing over. Now that it’s time for the final I’m looking back at all the concepts I had “breakthrough” moments with… And I got nothing. Can’t remember a lick. I don’t have any gusto in me still, I’m already planning to retake the course but fuck me ive never experienced burnout like this.
Is this normal?
Can you link me some? I’d honestly really appreciate it. I’ve used Khan academy but it was too sparse on exercises
Edit: spelling
It looks like they did away with the mastery system for the banner thing?
It’s quite possible you’re missing something from more fundamental maths. When i went back for an engineering degree i found through Khan academy that i needed to relearn 4th grade fractions. I just worked from there through every lessen from 4th grade up through calc 1 in one go. Took like 3 months but college level calc and above was a breeze with that strengthened foundation of knowledge.
Then when other students asked me for help i saw them having the same issues. It’s really hard to tell an adult they need to work on 4th grade maths when they’re studying for a calc exam. It’s not their fault the classic education method gives you Swiss cheese knowledge.
