This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I had an engineering professor in freshman year give exams expecting the class average to be 50% of the available points, and just graded on a curve based on how many standard deviations we were from the mean. So a 50 was generally good enough for a B. It was not a statistics class, but I think I learned more about statistics from that class than any other.
I'm just tired of constantly struggling. I wish there was some way to tell if I'm capable of doing engineering, you know? Let me know if I'm wasting my time or not.
Maybe talk to your professor then?
Oh, I meant, like, on the whole. This class might just be a speed bump on the path, but I don't know if there won't be something insurmountable next time around.
Sure, and the professor should know that. They can figure out what you're struggling with and help you decide if you just need TA time or something else.
