Do you have a tutoring center at your school?

Stay on top of this and get creative with your options. Can you find a PhD student who will tutor you on the “cheap”? Can you offer to mow their grass or walk their dog or do light cleaning in trade? It is a relatively small investment which can pay big dividends if you find the right person.

I’m glad you’re thinking about this very early in the semester. That’s a good sign. Hang in there and I will pray a creative solution comes through for you!

Another idea - find someone who teaches upper level courses in your desired major and ask their opinion about the importance of Calc 2? Is it vital to the field? Can you squeak through and still be OK since your career will focus on other skill sets? These are answers I would want to have before I give up the major.
