I am taking a really hard science course. The professor has us taking only 4 tests and most of the questions on each test is around 20 to 35 questions. The total points you could get are 100. The last test, the class average and the grades were real bad! This past test the average went up a little to a c-. I missed the class average by 4 points. I don't know what to do anymore, it's a pretty tough class and she's a tough teacher. I studied my butt off for this test, I dont get it! Should I stick with it? Study much more harder? or this teacher and class is a joke, no1 can pass?! I'm so confused and its sorta making me depressed...

I have had really tough classes like that. I would either stick with the class and see what happens, if you think your going to fail it.
Than, I would either audit (you can still keep the hrs. but you won't recieve a grade for the class) by auiditng you have to still go to class and do the assign work.
Positive side it wont effect loans, grants, scholarships, etc. cuz you still keep those hours. Down side: you still have to go to class. If you audit, make sure you do it before the deadline.
Secondly, you could drop the class altogeather, and take a easier teacher.
Thirdly, you could just stick with the class and just push yourself a little harder and see what happens. Maybe you can go to tutoring or email your professor and ask if you could meet him/her in their office to discuss what you could do to get a better grade in class.

Talk to the prof about what you can do to bring your grade up. You are already half way thru the semester so you need to work on it fast. Does he have a TA that would be willing to tutor
