babe plz respond

why do you wanna feel better about it?

Embrace what happened and move on, you cant stop for a failure.

Embrace failure, how so?

Some profs grade in shitty ways. I did a course in 3rd year engineering where I got 40 on both of our 25% midterms. I'm an 80% student so I was so fucking pissed off because I did understand the material but he basically marked my whole test wrong because I made a mistake at the beginning of the question. I was the maddest I ever was at uni. The course was comprised of just those midterms and a 50% final.

What you need to do is bite the bullet and start taking the course extremely seriously to make sure you get a passing grade in the end. What I did was I went to every class after I got my second failed midterm, took all the notes, and did all the problem sets early. Even if you feel you understand the basics of this course you need to over-study and become an absolute master of the subject. I got out of the course with a 67%. Pisses me off I get a crappy mark for acing the final but atleast I don't have to repeat a year. Don't let this asshole fuck up your graduation.

Just grow a thicker skin and continue working on on whatever you have to do.

In other words. Deal with it / move on

Well this class is online, so there's no lectures. I read all of the slides, I don't run the example code in the lecture content because it's broken up so it won't magically run as is. I at least make an effort to understand it, but I can't really tell if I actually do.

Then put it together from the pieces and run it.

you realize the marking criteria means that you can submit hello world and get 60% right?

what kind of coruse are you taking that submitting hello world can get you 60% of the marks?

Object oriented Design

well if its c++ all you need to do is use RAII and managed pointers. just google that, and you can easily get 60% of the grade.

We've all been there. A lot of math classes are only a midterm and a final and had a few rough upper divs where I got 50% or slightly below (curve was usually not to far ahead but I'm the asshole who usually gets +90%). Basically this >>17586904

You need to go all out and make sure you know the ins and outs of every concept. It's good you're going to your professor. They like that and understand it; they'll definitely help you out.

Something else to keep in mind: this is what seperates those who care from those who coast. If you're "passionate" about cs you'll get through this. In my cs classes some people had fucking breakdowns and it was just intro C++ (it covered pretty much all the basics but still very light).

So yeah. Don't give up OP
