What do I do here??

Anonymous 5w

C’s get degrees babyyy not to mention there are a ton of studies that show students who maintained a C average through school actually outperformed A/B students in the workplace

I think you show them the grades but strongly emphasize how you’ve learned a lot that’ll set you up for more success in the future. Also if the classes you got cs in were just core classes or mostly unrelated to your major, emphasize that as well.

I think they key here is going to be to make them see that you’re not happy about your grades but have a plan/ideas on what to do to do better the next semester. Tell them what I just said and that you would really appreciate it if they gave you another semester to 1) show that you’re serious 2) implement what you’ve learned from experiencing this first semester to change your grades for the upcoming one. While what #2 said about Cs getting degrees is true, don’t say it in this exact way as it

I’ll try to heavily emphasize that because 2/4 classes I took were irrelevant for my majors/minors and were js credits for graduation and then 1/4 was a prerequisite that was set for many majors and the other 1/4 was my highest grade (like a 79%)

Implied you’re content with getting Cs as long as you get the degree. What you can use this “Cs get degrees” idea is to tell them that even though you didn’t do as great as you would’ve wanted to this semester, your performance for this semester wouldn’t hold you back from eventually graduating, especially with your intentions of improving from here on out, so to please not let this mean to them that this semester was a failure for you. It wasn’t great, but not a complete failure.

Then like others have suggested if you can give them concrete examples of what you’re going to do to improve such as “I realized I learn better if I write it down or that I’m a visual learner” or that “I really need to work on my organization so I plan on making myself schedules to make sure I complete all my assignments and study whenever I need to and use a planner” or if your issue is more with the subjects being hard maybe you can tell them you plan on attending your professor’s study hours

Yeah, a huge issue for me was definitely js a matter of forgetting to do assignments/lack of a planner, but I also did start taking advantage of study hours closer to the end of the semester if something was giving me a hard time. I plan on giving a concrete explanation of all this in my PowerPoint

And that you’re even open to getting tutors. Hopefully you have understanding parents and you can convince them that your intentions to improve are true ✊🏼 good luck!! Update us!

You have no way to say this without knowing their parents. Even then op should still try even if they assume their parents would not agree.

Ok that’s good that you had already started making changes despite the semester coming to a close, that’s certainly something you need to mention as proof that you care about your grades and are serious about bettering them! That’s a big vantage point for you!
