Yeah, these are the things we did in our first semester, so I wasn't the only one thinking the curriculum is kinda nuts!

Thank you a lot for the explanations and the advices! I'll make sure to follow them. One of these days I might try using Matrix. Thanks again for the detailed response and the patience!!

Thank you very much, some help and tips would be super appreciated! What would you recommend doing?

These are the topics we did:

Thank you, you're too kind 💖

Oh, I see! Having a teacher that makes things click for you is indeed great. It's kinda weird though, my teachers explain certain things with a lot of clarity, yet make a lot of other things needlessly complicated from my point or view.

That's true trauma!

Mmh, I'm 99% positive that there are no remedial classes in here. As for the tutor, I don't think I need one, since even the hard things I studied, with enough time I understood them. I was also a very good student in high school, so I don't think I have any learning disability. The problem was mainly practice and what I didn't study, as well as my disorganizaiton.

I'm not sure of how it works abroad, but here in Italy every exam is done multiple times and you can join that as many times as you want, within some rules.

For example, some people will do the same exams that I have just done in February, and if I wanted to I could take it with them, exchanging my current grade with a new one. I'd rather pick a date that is the furthest away from now though, something like May or June instead of February, so I can focus on these two after I've dealt with all other classes. These two seem to be particularly tricky.

Now that a semester passed we will have new classes, so I won't have these ones anymore (although I will have Analysis 1, which is still math, but Analysis 1 doesn't require much from Linear Algebra or Discrete Math so it's basically another section of math). Luckily because of this I don't have to delay any class, and I don't even know if it's possible to do this in Italy, since they have a very 'you-do-you' approach.

True. I think it also depends on the way it's taught, some really good teachers can make you like a class you would normally dislike. It works vice versa too, haha.

I love philosophy. Although you dropped, do you still read anything about it? I know outright studying can be very difficult with chronic illnesses. Hell, I can barely study with a cold.

Thank you. ❤︎ I will check if an academic advisor is avaible at my faculty, and if I meet any more problems I'll talk to them. These two were the first ones, so I think it's way too soon to consider dropping our or switching majors. Besides, to switch major would mean losing a year, and I wouldn't even know what to study for it to land me a job. Since my university major is just 3 years long, if I can manage, I'd rather to endure it. (With honors possibly... that dream is not yet dead!)

Thank you! But... is math the right subject for anyone, really? /s

Jokes aside, I am studying computer science. I think I'm pretty good at it, it's also what I studied in high school. It's just these classes who are particularly hard (and stressing)

Thank you ❤︎, I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat. It's true what you said about education, it really does feel like that. Solidarity and good luck with you medical licence exam!

Next time it will be different.
