or your prof is cheeks...

In my experience: calc 1 is easy since it is review, but calc 2 isn't the same. Paired with a prof that just started teaching calc, can't write clear (has that doctor like writing), and explains in the most confusing way= can fail. Even the textbook can't help when you multiple labs, commute, have a test every week, have to read for other courses for participation marks (15%), etc.

Don't drop it dude lmfao. Whether its AB or BC, the minimum score to get a 5 is relatively low, so its not that hard to pass it. Many of the concepts taught in AB and BC can be self taught in like a week, provided you spend that week in the books completely.

No, 2 is not the same as 1. If anything, multivariable is more similar to calc 1 whereas calc 2 is more of its own thing. Unless you're an engineer, math major, or even a cs algorithms major, you probably won't see the applications of series (beyond just calculations) until an ordinary or partial differential equations class with fourier transforms.

While it's natural to feel pressure about academic performance, it's important to remember that everyone struggles with different subjects and not everyone excels at the same things. If you think you've failed your calculus class, it's best to be honest with your parents about your struggles and let them know how you plan to improve. Here's a potential way you could approach the conversation:

  1. Prepare Yourself: Make sure you are calm and ready for the conversation. Think about your reasons for struggling in the class and how you might explain them. Did you find the material too hard? Did you have a lot on your plate that affected your study time? These are valid reasons and explaining them will help your parents understand your situation better.

  2. Choose the Right Time and Place: Look for a calm, comfortable environment where your parents are also relaxed. Avoid times when they might be stressed or distracted.

  3. Be Honest and Open: Begin the conversation by explaining that you have something important to share. Then, clearly express that you are struggling with calculus and that your recent exam or grade may reflect that.

  4. Explain Your Struggles: Detail why you believe you didn't do well. This could include trouble understanding the material, not enough study time, or any other issues you faced.

  5. Show Responsibility and a Plan to Improve: This is probably the most important part. Show your parents that you understand the importance of doing well and that you've thought about how to improve. You could talk about getting a tutor, dedicating more time to study, or asking your teacher for extra help.

Example: "Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you about something. I think I might have failed my calculus class this semester. I know how important my education is and I really tried my best, but I struggled a lot with the material. I'm considering getting a tutor to help me better understand it, and I will put more effort into managing my time so I can study more effectively. I wanted to be honest with you about this, and I hope we can discuss ways to improve my performance in this class."

Remember, it's okay to make mistakes and fail. It's an opportunity to learn and grow. The fact that you're taking responsibility for your actions and showing maturity in dealing with the situation is something that will likely be respected, no matter your cultural background.
