Getting Your First Bad Grade
Did you get your first bad grade? Don't stress about
it. One grade is not going to ruin your GPA or mark
you as a bad student. Things you might want to think
about are why you got the bad grade. Did you allow
yourself enough time to study? Did you prepare the
right material? Was the subject matter too difficult? There
are a variety of reasons that students sometimes don't
get the grades they were hoping for. Use the links
below to find resources to help you avoid other bad grades
in the future.
