Ok I am in this class that is part of my major, and (I'm a fresshmen) I was having a very hard time in the class. I have a learning dissability, and thought I was not putting enough effort to overcome it in the class. As I continued on (spending 2 to 3 hrs a day just on reading and rereading the sections), and trying my hardest and coming up with nothing. I was afraid to go to my teacher because I thought he thought I was just stupid. I finaly reached the point where I didn't care anymore, and just went in to get help on understanding the material and not the actual work. He helped me a lot and now I am able to understand the material so much better. In fact it seams easy now. I do not think I got enough out of the class though. I want to retake it, but I do not want to overload myself with it next term and with everything else I am taking. Do you think I should take it again or not?

I am in a Services for Students with Dissablities program at my college. It was my fault that I didn't ask for help when I should have. I didn't have any problem getting accomidations. I am just wondering if you think it would be a good idea for me to take the class again.

Certainly, if money or time are of no consequence to you. Get all you can out of your education, and congratulations for not letting your disability hold you back.

First of all your college has to have supportive services for students with learning disabilities. They offer services such as tutors and note takers for free. There is no stigma attached to it and you should find yours ASAP. They will also work with you and the prof.
Second of all, you are still a frosh, you may change your major. Explore what is out there, unless it's absolutely necessary don't make a major decision now. Do what you love and what is easy for you... honestly your majors don't matter much.

If it's just a general requirement, is there any way you can take the course over the summer at a local college? This way, you can retake the course, but you won't have to take it during the next full semester.

If you really feel like you did not get enough out of the class...then you should take it again. You really are the best judge of this...no one else
