kinda worried about college..
 

ok i pretty much bombed my math mid term and i get a call from some lady from my college who asks me why im fucking up and that i should goto remedial and then asks me how im doing and shit..wtf..has this ever happen to anyone? is this a normal college thing? im kinda worried heh

I have never heard of that....is it a local community college? big university?


strange...

comm college

do you go to a private uni? I attend a private college thats got just a few thousand students at my campus and our professors are all kinds of nosey and we have a student success center and such that offers free tutoring so its possible. Larger universities dont have the resources or time but if your administration/faculty to student ratio is pretty low then they have time to be nosey... Ive never really done bad so I cant say Ive had the same thing happen but I know my school keeps on top of grades and your records really well.

maybe, i know a guy who never went to class or did anything for math but i dont think anyone called him heh

Ya, we have a lady like that at my college too. Believe it or not, she's actually there to help you. If you have any problems in school courses, you should go see this lady. She can work stuff out that will let you actually stay in school.

Yeah, I agree with Church. Some colleges/universities are better about things like that than others. Obviously you feel like it's very intrusive, but (as Church said) they really just want to help you out. I know I've been completely overwhelmed in a few classes I've taken, and it helped to have someone to talk to that knows how things work, so I knew I wasn't screwing myself over.

Those types of departments can usually help you out, hook you up to tutors, things like that. So, if you need any kind of help, I'd definitely talk to her or someone else there, it can't hurt.

Yeah my college has something like that. Our advisors are notified if our grades drop below a certain limit and then they call and try to help out the students with studying or whatever the issue may be.

I was on "academic probation" for my first semester of college. I got a phone call and a letter. It was a smaller private school. Take it as a wake up call and get your stuff together. It's not too late...yet.

Back when I was at a community college I ended up on academic probation. It made me feel pretty crappy so I turned it around. Since then I average about a 3.6 out of 4.

I just bombed my math midterm today.

Definately gonna hit those books a little harder now.

I go to a private college, i think there are 250 girls (all girls school) in my class, but yeah, when ever i slack on school work i get emails and letters in my school and home mail box saying i need to go speak with the dean....i appreciate it, but it can get annoying. As of right now im actually on academic probation :(

Never heard of someone calling you after blowing one midterm. Usually if you bomb a semester at my college they like to ring you up. Was it the professor or just some random lady from the college? I don't see why they'd call you if you can still get a passing grade in the course for the semester.
