I was recently put on academic probation and I need your help. The following was what was asked of me: Please write a statement that explains the main circumstances that impacted your academic performance in the Spring 2023 semester. Make sure to include how I was a Freshman and I was adjusting to the rigor of Berkeley. Mention that the classes I took over the summer before my first year started were only samples of the difficulty of classes I would take. Also explain that most of the classes that I went to, especially during my first semester, such as Calculus which made it really difficult for me to learn. The courses were manageable to keep up with but I found the tests very difficult. They accounted for so much of the grade that they tanked it. That was the case for a lot of my classes.
