Why am I so stupid? I'm taking Intro to Computer Science

lmao just study more
or stop being so stupid

actually get friends and get a sutdy group going
that might work

just breathe, relax, write a list of everything that you don't understand and slowly make your way down the list

you should know that in Uni everyone feels stupid, it's just about hardwork, you have to double your efforts

Even Descartes had trouble with math at some point.
Gotta believe that if you keep working you'll get there.

What's your why?

Finally a thread I'm an expert in! Being a failure!

My credientials: Doing EE (yes, engineering! not even math or physics!) for 5 years, and still not getting a 3 year BSc, got at least one more year to go, probably two!

Anyhow, long story short, if you're serious about wanting to give up and you've only just started - give up, you don't have what it takes.

If you want to graduate, study more. Every day! 5 to 8 hours, until you are comfortable with the matter. When that happens, you'll want to continue studying 5 to 8 hours every day, or it's gonna become easy to you so you'll do it even if you don't want to.

Discipline, discipline and discipline. I had none for first two years, I've only woken up after two and a half. Now I'm paying the price, and it's horrible. Don't make the same mistake I did. Give up on time, or wake up on time, but choose today and act accordingly.

A college degree is a signal to employers that you can do difficult mental work under pressure.

People who cannot do this work, either because of laziness or stupidity, are SUPPOSED to be filtered out by universities.

You are simply a casualty of that filtering process. There's nothing unusual about people failing at a hard task they were overconfident about to begin with. Take heart. There are plenty of other jobs for people of your modest abilities.

What exactly is troubling you from those courses? Is it the amount of work you need to do or are the concepts running past you? I recommend watching youtube lectures so you can see a potentially different/better approach from another professor. If you are struggling, practice. Compsci intro is mainly just applying logic to rules you learn. If you seriously cannot structure your programs off the top of your head then make flowcharts. What language is the class teaching?

Not wanting to snatch OP's thread, but just one question. What do you figure an employer will think when he reads in my CV that I started EE back in 2012, and got BSc after 6 or 7 years? Will I ever make it to the face to face interview where I can make up some bullshit for not doing it in 3 years?

>trouble with math
What does this even mean?
You get introduced to a new topic.
You spend hours learning it, sometimes days, weeks.
You move on to something else.

That's not having "trouble", that's learning.

Takes hours and hours to master a video game or instrument, only contrast is math doesnt award you every 10 minutes with explosions, "new high scores" or groovy bass lines.

study calculus for like 4 hours a week and you should do fine. I'm a brainlet and managed.

Btw if I want to self teach myself math, does anyone have a stepping stone of topics I need to follow?

The wiki says single variable calculus > linear algebra and multivariable calculus > differential equations but what about after that?

Anyone here have non meme adhd and doing engineering? Skimming by in integral calculus and could go for some success stories

No one really cares about that. If you get your degree you get it. If they ask say you wanted to take more elective courses or something.

Thanks mate, hope you're right.
