So I got my test back from calculus two and I didn't do as well as I thought I did. From how difficult the test was, I thought I would get a low B but instead I ended up with a low C. That test was on chapter six and this new test we will be taking in our class will be at the end of March. Already just beginning this chapter, I find myself lost with how to even start the problem. The issue I have with this chapter is that there could be multiple ways of doing a problem but the challenge is deciphering which way can actually work and lead you to the answer. Chapter 7 is mostly all about integrals which we learned a little bit of the basics in calculus one but in calculus two they are very difficult because we are not able to always use u-substitution. I asked my professor how can I get help because the tutoring center does not provide any calculus two tutors. My professor said that I can come into his office hours. However, I told him I wouldn't be able to ask him help since I have class during all of those times. Luckily, I have an amazing professor that would make time throughout his day and that we can schedule a time and day so he can help me out with any problems I ever had. Over this new week coming up ahead, I plan to work on some extra problems from the book. Hopefully, by studying and getting help from my professor, I will be ready for this next exam.

I can relate to this blog because I also struggle in math. I mean it’s no calculus 2 lol but math isn’t my strongest subject and it’s hard for me.
