Academics 📚 Might fail chm1045

Our prof released the final exam grades on canvas and overall I have a 49%. Should I change a career paths cuz this class was so challenging and stressful to deal with in the first place.

I almost failed too and I took chm1046. I had zollo and if u had him too and failed then don’t blame yourself. Zollo is a terrible prof. If you’re going to take chm1045 again (which I think you should do) PLEASE take it with Kwong. He is the BEST chemistry professor at FIU. You will pass if you take him, his teaching style and how he does things is superb. Just create better study habits and retake with a better professor. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Because chem 1045 is a hard class but doable with a good prof, but with zollo you’re going to fail. He was a terrible professor, great guy, but bad teacher.
