Taking University Physics in college without ever taking a single Physics course in my life time.

@RandyErika Well, to be honest and not to come up with excuses for myself or anything, one of the reasons why I didn’t get high of a grade for Calc 1 as I should is because in all the exams of my Calc 1 professor often have some word problems that barely makes any sense either because of the professors wordings/choice of words for the problems or because he’ll throw in one problem involving a method that he never taught in class yet expects his class to figure it out on their own, which often brought my grade down. It isn’t just me that had this problem but it’s also many of my other former Calc 1 classmates that had this issue as well.

As for everything else in calculus 1, I had very little to no problems with derivatives(power rule, product rule, chain rule, etc.), limits, average rate of change, Riemann Sum and integrals. It’s only Optimization, Mean Value Theorem, and remembering 100% of all my past Geometry and Algebra formulas(Didn’t have too much trouble remembering Algebra, just forgot a few formulas that I rarely ever used) that took a toll on my academic performance of Calc 1.

Whatever upcoming obstacles I’ll face in University Physics class, the first thing I’ll do is immediately let my professor know on the first day of class, all of my disadvantages I’ll have so he give me some blueprints or plans on how to survive and succeed the course, hoping that they will work out for me because I’m already almost finished with my Associate’s with this and my CSC120 course this Summer semester being my last two courses needed before transferring to a University.
