I find that a lot of people in the engineering and technical-specialized-stuff disciplines–you know, the kids who pride themselves on being the “supersmart geniuses”–are really averse to the topic of “not doing so well,” having to retake a class, not being “ahead,” or having to get tutoring, or the like. It’s a simple fact of moving up the academic ladder. With that said, some of us are going to have to retake classes.
Classes are hard–a lot harder than high school–and there’s a lot more work and responsibility to handle.
