Purdue’s average GPA is a 2.8. A good third of my summer thermo class dropped the class, I’d bet more failed out. However most of the students were sophomore ME students, with a few upper classmen from other majors taking it as well. I took it as a sophomore Civ E and got an A. It was hard work, but definitely not impossible.

This isn’t elementary school anymore. Professors are there to teach (and do research), not to be your personal cheerleaders.

That being said, I love my professors and they do try really hard to help the students (that try and listen). I’ve spent a lot of time in office hours and talked with a lot of my professors. They’ve been encouraging to me during those periods.
