There’s no such course. It’s impossible to teach or learn how to fail without going through failure. Failure is inevitable and constant but so is success. The question isn’t how do we avoid failure but rather how do we measure failure/success and what does that constitute.

One thing I learned as a failing student to a A plus student is that intelligence isnt based on your test scores. Intelligence is the way you combat your internal emotions and the way you challenge thos challenges into making better outcomes with critical problem solving skills. The way I went from failing to passing is practice, recall, analyse, and just told my self to do it. If others can do it you probably can to. Dont let your gaurd down. And dont beat your self up.

if its any consolation, people tend to associate 'intelligence' with letter grades- when really they have almost nothing to do with one another. The only relation they have, is that higher intelligence allows someone to learn, retain and apply information my quickly than others. (think of it like having more RAM on a computer. A 16gb RAM would have less lag when opening multiple tabs on a browser than an 8gb computer, but thats about it) "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid" @@hayab9453

Yeah school isn't for everybody. I dropped out of college because I hate being taught something by someone especially something I don't want to learn. Instead I learned how to start my own business and do something I love which is art. What I learned from self teaching myself was learning how to get better at something and how to improve, rather in school it's learn how to memorize. It's a nice feeling fail at something compared to school. When you fail you know you can improve and your going the right direction. But in school failure isn't so good. Your parents and teachers scold you asking you "you have no future". School can teach you a lot stuff too like how to manage time, how to memorize things more effectively and drama.

If you convince yourself that it is a special circumstance, you may be inclined to "make an exception" for yourself. Recognizing that everyone goes through the same conflict may just help you push ahead of it rather than throwing in the towel preemptively.

That's what happened when Colleges decided to monopolize acedamia into having everyone attend Colleges just to be able to do jobs that didn't previously require any degrees. As it turns out, the average person who's in College just because they want to work a job rather than them being genuinely passionate about academics just want to sing and party.

I had to repeat a year of college. The entire experience was horrific. At that stage in life I was still low on meaning, drive and purpose in life. I was still bouncing walls. What I can tell you is that I managed to remount myself and finish my studies and what I learned on the way is more important to me than the knowledge taught in the classes. I learned about things in life that straight A students maybe will never know because they will never be in a situation like that. Not saying you should flunk your exams, I'M saying that being in such a low point in life and managing to climb your way out of that makes a person stronger. Beware that the saying "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" is wrong or better say incomplete. I might've as well raise my arms and quit and who knows where I might've end up. Just by getting out alive from a bad experience is not enough. There are people who can't recover from something bad that happened to them and God, family, friends or doctors can't do anything for them.

The thing is bad things now could prepare you for a larger better success that you then need to be able to handle. So connecting to your final sentence, when no one can help you. That's when you as a person needs stand up and fight for yourself.

But then my next exam I got at 69% and with some extra credit I got a 5% boost. Third exam I got a 90, and the second around an 80. I always dropped the course and fell into a pit over that first 50, but then I ended up getting a B. Now I’m in calculus and I just got my first exam, 50%.

I think educator's should teach kids not to be Afraid to make mistakes, to fail. Because that's how we learn, from making mistakes and learning​ from them. To be more resilient against adversity, so they can overcome the challenges they face.

Well the dumb thing is, I study a lot everyday and most of my time in my day were spent trying to understand physic's concepts, practice doing mathematics and memorizing biology facts. But I failed those class! I used to fail a lot in high school. Because most of my time were spent doing anything other than studying. It seems to me now that, studying and not studying doesnt make a difference. I ask for consultation from my lecturers and ask for extra exercises. They expected me to do very well in my examinations because I always send my work in time, I ask a lot, I practice a lot. Well, the look of disappointment in their faces when they found out about marks really hurt me. Im just dumb and below the average.

At school and later in my college, I used to be a high scorer but things took a 180 degree turn when I got into the university life. I have failed in 16 subjects and failed again in many of them while repeating and failed thrice in a couple of them but the good thing is, I never gave up or even think of quitting. Sometimes, we understand a subject more than anyone in the class but perform terribly in exam. One simple solution to tackle this situation is to waste lesser time in just understanding and put more time into the exam perspective. Check for the past/previous papers from the previous sessions prepared by the same teacher for the same course. You'll get an idea what is required in the exam for the most of time. Give extra attention and solve the previous papers. Talk with your seniors and learn the psychology of the teacher. You'll get better grades and much more easily. Secondly, practice the problems by hand as much as possible. Best of luck

I feel like it's a good idea right now lol

I once, through some bad choices such as initially choosing the wrong major (ended up hating it) and going on an academic exchange on the 2nd year of my third choice major (but which I was loving and still love), ended up losing 2 years of my life, just wandering desperately and desolately. Those 2 years taught me more about myself and the world and life than I would've ever learn at university. I wouldn't change it. University is good for some kind of training (I study engineering), but most kids there wouldn't know how to react in the best way possible given the circumstance if faced by the failures of life that we all go through as stepping steps. Today, I know I've grown, seeing how I would act different, maybe better, when faced with uncertainty, than before. All can be a lesson if you're determined to overcome the obstacle.

I've read a couple of books on behavior and psychology but watching these videos just distills the information in a much better way. Brilliant.

Literally going through all this right now, just failed an exam and everything. Only difference is I can't replace this class, have to take a series of them to advance my career. Or find another career, and at 38 I am not seeing many options. And all the things I imagined, it was exactly that, amazing how spot on he is. I just have to get through it and try harder, really I have no other option. Goddamnit.

This guy is incredibly well-spoken. Explained a complex idea with concise reasoning.

There's something profoundly captivating about Mr. Peterson's method of teaching that compels me to give him my undivided attention without any instance of interruption. I can only surmise that it may be a combination of his speech-form, the way he presents himself in an aesthetic sense I suppose, and my acknowledgment that he is a well-cultured (if the word were to mean anything at all) and well-read man, which is the type of persona I look up to. I can only wish to one day be able to even partially emulate that type of influence and put my own personal spin on it, for I love the notion of being able to teach others the knowledge I've accumulated, and in turn being able to positively affect the lives of the people around me through that avenue.

This is what the world needs. Everyone experiences these feelings, very little know how to properly deal with them. That calls for someone to explain how to deal with such events! Why is there such a lack of content in this category?! Imagine if JP hadn't blown up because of politics! We would have missed out on such profound wisdom as this, which for me personally has come many years too late. Everybody in school, especially everyone who fails a class, should watch this video and learn about what they are feeling and how to deal with it.

Been following Peterson for about a couple of weeks from now cuz I just felt that he had something to say about school. Now that im in the verge of dropping my course, i hadn't entered a single zoom meeting of any of my subjects since the semester started. And its like every word he says is piercing through my soul right now. Damn it hit me alot.😔

Be real with yourself. You came after you failed an exam/quiz which you have studied for it at the last minute, or the day before. Now, you’ve failed. You didn’t fail because you’re dumb. You failed because you didn’t put in work. Can’t cut corners and expect to be perfect!

Thanks I needed this today after a terrible exam

I love this man's way of speaking. I could listen to him speak for hours about anything.

Thank you sir, you helped to get over this chaos.

This actually helped me reframe my situation and break out of the negative spiral I was going down during this entire term. After taking a step back and looking at my new required courses needed to complete my major as I had changed it at the beginning of the term (but unsurprisingly the school only updated their systems to reflect said change near the end of term) and am now able to do things I wasn't able to before and more importantly, drop a course that was no longer mandatory to take. Now I have freed up so much time to actually finish the rest of the courses I have for this term and will take a different make up course for the summer. Fortunately, I have put myself in the financial position to take these kinds of hits, so all that negative spiraling was all for naught. I'm really glad youtube put this video into my feed when searching for advice on failing classes because sometimes having someone to remind you that all you need to do is lay out all your options and go through them one by one is all the push you need to realize that you're not doomed, you just need to try a new approach.

I was on the verge of keeping books to the side because I prepared so much and the proffessor ended asking questions unrelated to the topic. I searched through videos and Jordan Peterson's lecture is most convincing.. so! We're maintaining a frame and never give up.

I was in CRNA & was failing my classes. Only 2 C's are allowed during the entire program so instead of taking failing grades i just withdrew. Life happens, and I couldn't recoup. No matter how much I studied and how hard i tried i couldn't pull it together. This really made me question whether I'm good enough to go back.

Aside from the philosophy advice we receive from watching these lectures I very much appreciate the sociological perspective. Why we do the things we do and how our minds work. To paraphrase if there is an issue we can't deal with for whatever reason, perhaps it is destructive to our own identity, we move up the chain of importance and try to obliterate the higher reasoning so we don't have to deal with it. So the people who are lazy and can't deal with the fact that they are lazy will move up the chain because they can't accept that they are lazy and that THEY need to change and obliterate that reasoning. "Well it's not my fault; it is 'X's' fault" It seems like this is the reasoning people who believe in the patriarchy use. It isn't my fault I can't do 'X' or 'Y' it is the patriarchy's fault. Next is the idea of why I hate swimming in lakes. I'm pretty sure there are no carnivorous fish in there, but I can't see everything and I'm not in a domain where I am ABSOLUTELY in control. I'm out of my element and as the controlling person I am it feeds into my discomfort. So I dislike it when my ordered world is thrown into disarray, because I seek structure and order. It is this rigidity of habit that keeps my habits, good or bad, very strong.

This has been really helpful. Thank you!

Sticking to your framework because you've already invested in it is a sunken cost fallacy though. So he's right that you should be careful about blowing up the framework but the amount of effort invested in it should not be an argument.

If the endeavor is pointless, harmful or otherwise unnecessary or incorrect, adding more investment of time and effort just because you started is a sunk cost problem. Throwing good time after bad is not useful. But again, it depends on the initial rationale and if it was incorrect or if something regarding that rationale has changed. I might discover that my choice of underwater basket weaving over engineering is a poor one. Reversing course/quitting/changing majors is a good choice. Following underwater basket weaving through to the bitter end just because you started is not.

@hold_my_ribcage

Yes, that's correct. What he said does not limit the reasons of no effort. In fact he already did cover that right after. Amount of effort is merely a scale that ranges from 0 to infinite. You can be a 0 out of laziness, or 0 because you are a capable person who decided to input no effort without the small tinkling feeling of doubt.

@zanebrant

There is a danger of that fallacy in such situations, but the analysis is not as simple as, "is there a better option?". If you've already sunken time, energy and resources into one course of action, you may not have those resources available to use on another, and hence it's better to stay with your current course than fail at another.

I recently failed Composition 1 for the second time. This is only my second semester and I'm in community college so I get this feeling like something is wrong. My first semester was a 16 week and about half way through I stopped going because I lost all motivation for that class. I retook it this semester for the 8 week session to see if that works. I'm gonna sign up again for after spring break for another 8 week class so I can finally move on to Comp 2. I like college, at least I don't struggle so hard in my other classes like I do in this one, and it's not really that I suck at writing (even though, that is true too) I just can't motivate myself to write, even when I sit down with zero distractions and focus souly on that work. I hate this class, but I know I have to get past it so I can do the ones I actually want to do.

Either way it goes, it does not make me a failure and I am capable of getting up and pushing through as much as I can.

This is a big dilemma for me. How do you know when you're being lazy or you've actually lost passion and shouldn't be compromising your time for something you don't enjoy? I guess it depends on how much value you place on the desired outcome. But does anyone really want to do anything difficult? I want to drop my calculus class because I'm failing and have forgotten most of the prerequisite material. It's tough whenever you don't know whether failure should be a point of redirection or motivation to work harder. I thought about being an engineer, but now I'm reconsidering, and I don't know if this is a sign that I should do something else I actually enjoy, or if feeling uninterested and detached is just part of it.

I was in the last class I needed to have a minor in math. It was very difficult and thought I’d have to drop it but decided I’d through some good effort into it anyways since if I pass it I’ll have that math minor. Managed to pass the second exam and stayed in the course. Wasn’t that interested in the material but I’m glad I made myself get through it. Later on in grad school I signed up for this chemistry class which I did end up dropping even before the first exam. In this case I already was having a pretty loaded semester and felt even if I were to put the effort into it it would leave me with pretty much no time left in the day. Also I was not interested in the material and did not see it helping me get anywhere, so I dropped the course. Just my experiences with class dropping.

Hey I'm experiencing the same thing I'd love for you to update us on your situation

One thing i really understood very well watching the lectures of Prof. Peterson is That i could listen to his lectures all day long.... I wish i was his student

i started studying engineering last year and I'm stuck in the second stage even when i study hard it doesn't work and started questioning life instead of answering questions

When I was in college you needed 15 credit hours per semester (4 semesters per year) for 4 years to graduate with a Bachelor's degree. I always took 18 credit hours with the knowledge I will drop the worst class. The other classes I would buckle down on. There is no issue dropping a class. Heck, I dropped classes several times (sometimes more than once) and still graduated in 4 years because I always kept 15 credit hours.

Heh, I've dropped so many classes while attending junior college. I did eventually get a degree, but it's worth saying that some teachers just aren't great at presenting information. I had a calculus teacher that would repeat the same thing when you didn't understand a concept, without any variation, utterly useless for teaching me. I found more help at khan academy online than that particular professor.

Failing a class for the first time in my life right now, i studied hard as hell for the midterm. I had the midterm today, worth 40%, and there was 4 questions. Got the first two easily , but the third a fourth were a weird system moment couple problem I’ve never seen, and 4 was balance the third part in equilibrium. Failed the test and now I can’t pass the class with anything more than a C , would be the lowest grade of my academic career, I don’t know what to do

Was in a terribly bad place at university after the 2nd year...went to about 20 percent of the classes I had and in my disorientation I managed to scrape through the dirt and landed at the feat of my final two senior courses. GPA was too low so they understandably guillitined me. I'm not sure if I was clinging to a severely compromised frame, abandoning ship, or dancing between their murky waters. Dont do that. It sucks.

its not just that I failed my first math quiz, its that I barely made it into this school, I barely made it into this class, I need this class for my desired major, my parents are breathing fire down my back to succeed, I just got an email from the school wanting to talk about that quiz with me, I just want to be like the other smart kids, Theres nothing wrong with me, Im loosing sleep over this, Im procrastinating more and more, all my other classes are starting to intensify, I keep digging the hole for myself, if watching as I destroy my future and more than half of me wants to say fuck it and jump of the cliff into a mad descent into desperation and poverty, a small portion of me is telling me to ignore the piercing attention of my elders and teachers and study harder, keep going, but this is one of the worst experiences of my life, and its all because I was too lazy to put in the time and effort to study. Like this is only the third week of my next 4 years... I already want to quit

Thank you Jordan. Thank you Bite sized.

Everything he said corresponds with what happened and how I feel about it.

Here's me in my college experience; whenever it seemed like I wasn't doing good in a class by the time we took our first exam, and I failed that exam - I dropped it...and I'm glad for it, because that saved my grade point average. AND it cleared up the time that I would've had to spend in that class, which allowed me to both focus on my other classes more or have more leisure time to handle the work-load better. The only semester where I COULDN'T do that, because the bookstore screwed me over, I ended up failing a class. But that was years ago, and I've long since gotten past it. And I've continued to drop classes that I didn't like and didn't care about almost every semester, and always felt better for having done it. Now here's the conundrum I'm in...I'm in my final semester and my family is expecting me to graduate, and because it's kind of a complicated process, I've had to get help from them to figure everything out. And worse, my father who lives in Mexico is taking a plan THAT weekend to be there for my graduation. And the senior seminar I'm in is taught by a leftist professor that I hate, because she keeps inserting her politics into the class and she LIES about a whole lot of things - Lies I've caught her in and called her out for - so much so, that I tend to tune her out, if I bother showing up to class at all... The thing is, I know that ignoring her and not showing up to class is not good for my ability to pass the class, but I honestly can't stand her as a professor. Plus the topic that we have for our final paper feels mind-numbingly mundane that I can't believe it's for - not just a college-level course - but for what should amount to be my FINAL college-level course. And yet, she's treating it like it's somehow going to be a difficult thing, and keeps assigning tertiary assignments, just to force students to actually do research on this topic before the final paper is even assigned yet. I can't stand it. At present, with me ignoring this woman and being psychologically drained by the sight of her and sound of her voice, I think I might have to accept that I won't be graduating this semester, so sorry dad, but god forbid you get on a plane to spend time with your son for Christmas without him having to graduate, huh?

Why can’t all college professors be this engaging and not solely using E-Learning

I failed a class from hydromechanics yesteraday by the set of mistakes in study plan and underestimating the role of mental stamina. Evening before exam I had absolute mental breakdown. Now just trying to recover before next semestr through few days off and paying emotional debt from these 5 months

Remembering your purpose of what you are doing is important

I’m watching this as I’m waiting for the class I’m failing in to start😅

I was so focused on passing that I forgot to enjoy learning what I was studying. I'm at the acceptance stage where failing only means I get to understand the subject better next time.

applicable to so much more than just failing a class

The thing is i didnt even study hard in the beginning, i cant bring myself to open the book, how do i solve that problem?

So is it that every last student is bad or is it that the professor is bad.

Thing is, students now HAVE a way to see if their teacher is good enough or not. For example, most of the Westerners have a median income that allows their children to check for after-school education, in order to fix the issues they have in some subjects. This, most of the time, allows a child to see what is a good teacher and what isn't: - A good teacher may be strict, but it lets you understand everything as the lesson goes along, with plenty of examples and looks for input from the students to see if they're getting it. At the end, the questions from the student will surely be either on sub-cases or particularities on the subject, or on deeper understanding on what might happen with that argument. - A bad teacher is almost always strict, never questions itself, never looks for input from the class save from the classic "If you have any questions/Are you getting it?" half-hearted acted line, and can't actually answer the questions when those arise, since it will either lead the teacher to a self-fellating rant about the class not listening or a half-hour exposition on things that don't actually matter in the case at hand. There's another way to check if a teacher is bad or not: if the school teacher gets irritated because your son/daughter is getting better at its own subject (because of some extra help from a private one) after a string of failures... that's the sign of a bad teacher right there. It's quite easy, really.
