[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for your responses. Her narrative/intended major is not STEM necessarily; she's really undecided but has considered Econ or Biology.

I feel like a C is attainable, but there's likely no way she's able to get a B-. If admissions does inquire, there's no excuse othere than "it's hard!". Maybe they'll appreciate her honesty lol.[/quote]

Awww. I feel for you both - super stressful!

Encourage her to talk with her teacher and work with him or her do everything possible to prepare better to get that C. Sometimes that degree of laser focus on a short-term goal can make all the difference!!!

If it helps, I was in the same situation with Calc 2 during spring semester of my freshman year of college. Just completely in over my head and embarrassingly late slow to recognize it. I finally started going to office hours (ALL of them) and got a tutor to help prepare for the final.

Going in, there was a real possibility I could fail the class (and have to take it over at CC during the summer?) but I worked my butt off and pulled a B- on the final and a C in the class overall. To this day, I’m more proud of that C and any of my A’s in college. Calc was REALLY hard for me in a way that other classes just were not. Encourage your DD to finish strong - she can do it! 👍[/quote]
