I just got home from school and I feel very tired and stressed, especially that my professor told that only 30% of the class in going to pass and we are 45 all in all. Urgh what can I say, it's gonna be a tough competition! Wish me good things to happen. It's good I have mylot where I can share anything I want.

Thank you! I really wanna stay calm but the situation is getting more tough. Makes my confidence go away. I really wish I can do great in this.

Still tough. Even tougher. I just hope I will survive this. Well, let's just see at the end of the semester this coming March.

Yes, you can share anything you want as long as it doesn't violate the mylot discussion guidelines. Anyways, I also had that time in school where I will go home totally stressed out. All you have to do is to be in that 30%. Well if you really wanna pass that subject.

Yeah, I already became more aware in the myLot guidelines so I hope my discussions will not be deleted. It is not like facebook where you can say whatever nonsense you want. I really hope to be in that 30% because I really don't want to fail.

Maybe he said that in hopes that you will prove him wrong! Sometimes teachers have a way of encouraging you, so everyone is going to think, hey, I want to be one of the 30%. Sometimes messages have hidden meanings and if you read between the lines, and I would interpret that as giving you something to aim for, a goal.

Thank you. Very encouraging and I'm wishing that my professor will not continue doing this. I really want to pass this subject so badly.

That is bad news, my friend! Your professor is not helping much by saying that, he is making passing a difficult course much more stressful now. He is trying to hint that only less than one third of you all is going to pass in his class in this semester, may be you want to consider changing to a different class with a easy going professor if possible, seem like this professor is taking his lecture too serious and having very high expectation from you all. You are really in deep trouble now, the competition is getting tough and unless you have tough luck, chances are you have to study extra hard and burn more mid night oil from now on, Mylotting can't do much to help if the passing rate is so low. It sure is no fun at all for you in this semester.

Hi! Thank you for your kind words. All of his students feel bad about his personal super strict rules. He is the only one available to handle this particular subject so I really can't go anywhere, unless I will transfer to another school but that will be more difficult in my case. I just really hope he will change his mind and at least go for 50%.

Those are some scary statistics, but I am sure you will do well. Just do the best you can and remember what you learned all semester long. Good luck and of course I wish the very best outcome for you passing this class.

Thank you, atleast I have someone who believes in me. I really hope I will pass this subject. I know this is one of the most difficult subjects in my major but my professor is making it more difficult for his students. May God bless us. Thank you for responding and may you have a prosperous 2013!

I think you can encounter the fierce competition in university may be is a good thing because it can let you learn how to handle the competition and overcome the obstacle,and it also is the warming up for you to join the real society because when I step into the society you will find out that the competition is more severe than university. Good luck my friend,I really believe that you can overcome everything hinder you.

Thank you for the response my friend. Also thank you for believing that I can overcome this, these kinds of words really means a lot to me. I pray that I will be in the 30% at the end of the semester. This will be the biggest accomplishment for me if I will pass.

Sharing things on mylot is one of the best benefits this site offers. We learn that we are not alone. Look at that 30% as a goal and work for it. I'm sue you can do it. I do something a little off when I am facing a challenge. I look at the worse that could happen and figure out a plan for that, then I just try my best. Most of the time the worse never happens, but if it does I am prepared. All my life I have done this and it works for me.

You'll be fine. Teachers and professors always say those things because they want you to do your best. Good luck in School.

Oh, that's only a threat. LOL. Your teacher just warned all of you so that you'll do everything to study hard. Goodluck. I hope you'll get good grades and pass in all your subjects. Yes, myLot helps us in voicing out our feelings. Keep on posting.

Unfortunately my professor does not threat. He is very capable of doing whatever comes out from his mouth. Pride maybe.

Just do your best and everything will be fine. As long as you know that you give your best, whether you pass or not you will never feel sorry. In many cases where we fail to pass or achieve something it is because we neglect to give our best- therefore we ended up saying..."if only I did my best".

Yes. I will try to do what I can do, and if it's not enough then atleast I could still be proud of myself, though it feels bad knowing that your best is not enough.

I wish that you'd be one of the lucky students to pass that course. I am sure that you'd be rewarded with the hard work you have shown.

Don't stress out too much I am sure the 30 percent pass is just a scare tactic.

hi devonavis oh my do take heart as way bakd wh I went back to the University of Ca Irvine and I was 45 mind you the prof said hte sam thing in several of my classes and I think almost the whole class passed as I saw most of the same faces when we all graduated. that was forty odd years ago and I passed with a 'B average in spite of flunking a Latin grammar final.so if I could do that I will be t you will pass. I wish you ,um lets see,I wish you good really great grades, I wish you self confidence galore and I wish you smooth sailing all the way through the U until you graduate.
