I didn’t know I would need tutoring for this one class I’m taking this semester (considering I’m only taking 2 this semester, as opposed to 4, and also since it seemed fairly easy when the semester started)…and I even tried signing up for that - it was too late to do that for this semester. At least, there wasn’t a convenient time or even day for tutoring for that class. Plus, personally I doubt any amount of tutoring would’ve helped for it. It’s not that its concepts are hard - just that the teacher’s grading method is utter garbage. I can learn the material fully by myself, but make one mistake in the math problem and you lose the majority of its worth even when you have 95% of the work correct (seriously?). Of course I didn’t find out about said grading method until, again, it was too late. I use RateMyProfessor beforehand all the time but this semester was just my first at UMBC (I transferred from Howard CC) so I had to be registered late, and with not a whole lot of class sections to choose from.

You mean how likely I am to get a job after graduation, correct?
