Sooner or later, you will bomb. Let’s just hope it’s only a pop quiz.
It might seem like the end of the world, but it’s not. Take a deep breath and relax. Acting like a drama queen won’t help you improve your grade, even if you are a theatre major.
Ask your professor how much the big F will damage your grade. Then ask how you can do better. If the professor gives you extra credit assignments, do them.
Most people who earn F’s aren’t stupid—they just don’t try very hard. If you are assigned a chapter, read it. If you are assigned a paper, don’t start writing it the night before it’s due.
Visit the academic resource center in your residence hall complex or stop by the Academic Assistance Center to let the staff know which class you need help in.
