Failing a course can be quite painful as a student, especially if you put in your best efforts to read for the examination, write tests and attend classes. However,
it is very important to know what is next after failing a course. Below are steps successful students take if they fail a course.
1. Determine the problem
The saying that once you know the root of a problem, you can solve it is quite true. So find out why you failed the course. Wast is inadequate preparation? Wrong
reading methods? Lack of proper Revision? Sickness? or even wrong marking? After identifying the problem,
the next step is making sure it does not happen again.
2. Preparation
Once bitten, twice shy is the motto of a successful student who has failed a course. The next time you are taking the course plug all loopholes that have been identified in 1 above.
3. Ask Questions
You can ask older students who have taken the course previously, ask lecturers
and friends for advice on the next step to take and follow the advice they give.
4. Be Positive
It is important to remain positive, developing a hatred for the course and lecturer might lead to failure once again. Successful students remain positive and do their best always.
5. Determine the best time to rewrite
Also, you might need to approach your course adviser to determine the best time to retake the course, to avoid complications with course units. So be rest assured that failing a course is not the end. You can rise above it and do better.
