It ain't easy!

So, I had to take an 8wk DEV math class. We could work at our own pace and most of the work was online, unfortunately I wasn't aware that we're able to work on this at home until 2 weeks (two classes per wk) in. Needless to say I found myself behind. Good news is that I passed, barely. As far as math goes, I'm now in the 2nd 8wk course and its 100x more work. I mean, I e been doing math math and more math, then more math. My first exam in this class is in two days. I will be prepared. But I gotta be honest, I can't remember any formulas to save my life. Anyone know of any memory tricks?

This goes for my other courses, Intro to fluid controls and Electric Circuits. The EC course is just more math. Ohms law yada yada yada. We get to play with some toys ( LAP's) but we partner up and my partner is a young go getter. Needless to say I end up observing him more than I get to play with these toys, mostly because I'm not very confident in what I've learned and how to apply it. I e learned more via YouTube than in class. 

In fluid controls, We do all of the work online and it isn't accessed at home. Yep, I got behind in that too and haven't been able to go to the lab for LAP's. I should be caught up here in the next two weeks so I'm hoping to hit the LAP's for the final two or three classes. 

So, overall I'm passing, but I'm not making the Dean's List. 

If there anything I've learned, it's that I'm not as smart as I thought and I'm having reservations about the major I chose which is Automation and Robotics. But I'm not sure if switching would be a good idea and I really wanna see this through. I'm interested in this line of work but I don't know if I have what it takes. 

Well.....IF you are reconsidering your choice, the old "find something you love, and you'll never 'work' another day in your life" is never as easy as said. Worth a thorough soul-search IMHO. Try your best to not leave yourself with regret down the road.

IF you're making a decision based on financial return, or a combination of passion and reward, only you will find what's best for you. My experience does hold true to nothing good comes easy, so please try not to be discouraged with the math stuff for now IF it will lead to the comfort level you currently seek. If you want this, you got this. I have faith in ya!
