Civil engineering.

Chose civil engineer as my subject course at uni. I only have a C maths grade at GCSE and did not follow it up at A Level. Nor did I choose any subject that would really help me. Went in today and didn’t have a ****ing clue what the lecturer was going on about as he was showing all these advanced equations on the board. If I stick it out will I start to understand it or will the learning curve be to vast as I have till the end of the week to change subject.

Does the course run optional catch up maths sessions ? Without this I think you are really going to struggle. The equations going up on day one will be very much the basic stuff. Look at the course spec and if (as I expect it does) you need calculus and differential equations you really need to re-think this ASAP. I strongly suggest you have a sit down with your personal tutor / course organiser to work through this and get some candid advice, I am pretty surprized they let you onto an engineering course without A level maths, what Uni is this ?

I am willing to put the work in but I need to know I have a chance to do well as I haven’t gone to university to come out with a 3rd. Yeah will definitely contact my personal tutor tomorrow.
