My DS2 is in the first year of an engineering degree; WWhen DH or I have spoken to him about his course he has made a point of mentioning that his first year doesn't count towards his final year. We in response have kept highlighting how important getting a good grade is as this is the base knowledge he will need for his next two years. If he does poorly in his first year, he is putting himself at a huge disadvantage for the rest of his time at university.
He has now finished most of his exams, and he has begun making noises about how difficult the exams are, and I am worried that he is going to have to resit some exams in summer. I really don't know what to do with him; I'm hoping this has been a wake-up call for him. Has anyone had experience with similar situations? What did you do?
