Calculus 1 and only got a D in Biology 1? The issue isn%26#039;t motivation, and tutoring doesn%26#039;t seem to help. However, Math and Science were always their strongest subjects in High School and they always had straight As in math and science back then. It seems they might not have the potential for it, they did better in classes outside of their major.|||Tough decision if it%26#039;s what they really want to do. Doubt calculus matters much (in my experience biology majors need stats) and you generally only need one or two chem papers (although biochemistry afterwards is more challenging in some ways). If they%26#039;re actually putting the effort into tutoring and it isn%26#039;t helping then continuing in the major might just be prolonging torture.
I have a friend who is sitting chem 101 for the third time next year for her biology major (stratching her degree out for an extra year at the very least). It%26#039;s kind of painful to watch.
