I handed in 3 things for a regrade but I'm not sure where to go from here. I''ve had a lot of personal problems in the last few months and yes, they've greatly affected my motivation and ability to study and work but I still do it, but I am still not getting the grades.
I never thought I'd say this, but i'm actually scared of failing out of mac.
I can't be too sure how I did on my other courses until our marks come out but at the same time, i'm not completely confident.
Anyone have any suggestions on studying/working in different ways for next semester?......If i'm allowed in lol :(
So scared, worried, and terrified.....:thumbs down:

If you do the scantron wrong, they will usually mark it by hand for you--I know this happens in both 1st year chem and bio, I'm not sure about other courses but they're usually good about that. Did you talk to someone about it?
Also, if you handed in 3 things for regrade and didn't get a better mark, it probably wasn't the TA's fault, and blaming someone else won't help you at all. If you do end up with a better mark, then it won't end up adversely affecting you in the end and you're fine.
Working your ass off isn't the same as being productive and working/learning effectively.
As I wrote previously, you won't get kicked out after first term, you have until April to pull your marks up, so right now just focus on doing well on your remaining exams (if you have any) and learning from what went wrong this term so you can do better next term.
If you're having personal problems, CSD (or whatever it's called now?) can really help you out--it might be good to go talk to them.
