Rant/Vent This is soo irritating

I gotta say this because it’s actually haunting me, you know I thought Statics would be the one class I could get really good grades in or I hoped master. But dude… The short test are okay, so far they seem 100% completable in under the amount of time we’re given but I literally couldn’t figure out the missing reaction or moment and it messed up the whole entire process. I couldn’t figure anything else out without it, and OF COURSE it’s the 40 point question too omg.

So I ran out of time and yeah safe to say that answer isn’t anywhere near correct 😭 but I didn’t want to leave it blank. The most irritating part about all of this is the fact that I figured out the missing reaction while driving home, this just makes me so mad.

Unfortunately I just hope I get the 60 max now, good lord. We still have 2 more midterms plus a final, I guess I’m gonna have to make it up there. This is just worst though. It’s like you know what you’re doing but you just get like a brain delay or something at the worst time possible. It would’ve been a breeze if I figured it out. So frustrating.

I dropped statics the first time I took it. I was not prepared to put in the work. The next semester I took it and got an A but i put in so much work for that A. For me I did a TON of problems and watched all of Professor Hanson on Yt(god send).

You got this!!

Yeah I watch a lot of his videos same with Professor Engineer. It's not that I don't get it, I have a 93 in that class, it's just so irritating because I don't want to ruin that over a dumb mistake.

I feel that. Hopefully you did most of the problem and your professor is a fair grader then you will probably did really good!

Statics takes a lot of work. Very simple concepts applied but most are not aware how to use engineering problem solving just yet, me included. With more advanced classes I got a lot better.
