How long is it since you did any study? It can be very difficult to 'break the ice' again. I would stick with it if I were you; its only an intro as you said, so not as important as what comes later. just put it down to,the pains of academic re-entry!

There should still be an instructor you could turn to for help or even alumni. Most schools have an alumni section, advisors and tutors. Maybe drop the class but not drop out?

Nope

Two thoughts...one is--is it too late to get a tutor? Second, is this class REALLY necessary for the degree? I dropped Chemistry and, although it was embarrassing, it turned out that I didn't really ''need'' it. Wishing you well!

I don't know if this will help, but I hope it does... I find YouTube tutorials to be a great resource at times like these. Don't give up.

It's possibly something silly like you used a colon instead of a semicolon. You need to find help. Get someone to look at what you are doing and find the mistake. Can you send screen shots to your instructor? I took computer science 101 a year ago after having taken Javascript with Khan Academy. I learned Java in CSC 101. It was challenging, but I didn't give up, I worked harder and got some help and did well in the end. At the beginning, being bright has nothing to do with it. Maybe try Code Academy's free stuff if they have any C#. I just did their Java to review since I'm taking Advanced Java starting today and it's been 5 months. I used codingbat to help me learn too, but I don't know if they have C#.

Get an online copy of "C# in a nutshell" they explain all the concepts my dude. Good luck because C# is not a beginner's programming language.

Never give up. Any programming is just a series of logical steps. The syntax is merely the means of expressing the steps. Wrap your head around this. Every object has properties methods and events. Look at the whole as individual problems that lead to an end result. My discipline in our science is database so I don’t get to write as much front end stuff as I used to. Don’t be discouraged. It is my observation that it takes at least 3 years before most can program their way out of a wet paper bag. Hang in there. The light bulb will come on.

Is it anything you can email across to people? I've never learnt C but I'm pretty experienced with VBA and have three days off from Tuesday, so I could possibly help you get your head around it.

Lemme know.

Is this your first attempt at an on-line course?

Ask! As an ex-professor I was always happy (well, maybe not happy, but willing) to clarify assignments for students -- especially early in a course. Waiting is not a good idea because you can fall too far behind to catch up. If you word the issue as your inexperience, you'll get farther. I would say most instructors want students to be successful.

Is there not a professor that you can call for help? I would email to whoever is giving the class and find out when they might be available for a chat. Asking questions makes you smart, not dumb ok?
