MATHEMATICS CONFESSION
I flunked a math course at Howard University my second semester, Sophomore year.
The course was "Elementary Functions." I took it over in summer school with another guy who had also flunked. We met each other outside class, looking warily at the grade sheet. We did not know each other until then. Misery bonded us, united us, fired us up!
So, we studied together each day that summer after work. We both got "B's" this time from the same professor, who never gave out "A's!" We had so much fun, studying, preparing, to win, we hated that the class had to end!
Morale: Rigorous paired study rocks! Do it with someone, anyone as motivated as you!
