Bombed a midterm really badly..

[neodyn55]

So I signed up for this class as a part of my Master's degree (CE), and the results came out. I scored below the class average, somewhere along the 25th percentile

My last class went really well (A-) but I simply can't seem to get into the grad student mode for this class. Worse, I missed a lot of classes in the beginning because of work.

Anyone doing the evening-college-while-working thing? Comments? Experiences? I'm feeling pretty down now. Did I make a big mistake with the studying-while-working thing?

I'm now hoping I can at least get a C- in this class and I used to be a A-/B+ student in my undergrad years.

Talk to your professor, maybe you can set up tutoring sessions with the professor or with your fellow students. I'm in a grad program now but I'm not working. I'm sorry I can't offer any more insight.
