gotta drop a class

yep, I have to drop my online trig class mainly due to the fact that I can't do the class work by teaching it to myself, I am not very good at that. the professor reccomended that if I am not comfortable with the online class to drop it while I can. But, dropping a class may effect my renewal for FL Bright Futures which has been covering my CC for the last 1.5 years, sure its not expensive but its stuff I dont have to pay for.

So, I'll go talk to financial aid and see whats the what, hopefully I dont loose my scholarship because after I switch to just a liberal arts AA I only have 10 more credits and I am done( two sciences, if I dont pass chem, literature, and some extracurriculars)

See if you can transfer into a classroom Trig class. Or, barring that, transfer into another class. Look for a late start class or a self-paced class or a compressed class so you won't be far behind.

Don’t drop the class - get a tutor

The hardest concept to learn about higher education is that the educators are not the enemy. Turn to them for assistance and guidance and you’ll go far.

It is the one part of a university that differs from most other authority driven institutions. At a U the authority is there to offer guidance to the willing, where in most other institutions they are often there to hinder.

So get a tutor and hang in there – what is the risk?

well, I cant transfer into a in person class since my schedule will not allow it... I don't have much time to sit down with a tutor every single day. Frankly, it was stupid to take chem, precalc and trig at the same time.. everyone told me not to... wish I did.
I'm not behind in the class either.. I'm on track and have like a 70 C after the last test.....

See if there is a math lab at your school. If so, print out your homework and take it in with you.

You wouldn't have to do it every day, and it is probably free. I used to work in such a lab when I was a graduate student, and the situation works much better than private tutoring.
