Your Dam Opinion: What struggles did you experience as an undergraduate?

by Michael Troutt

“I always had trouble getting started on a test. I would be too keyed up … I realized I had a lot of real nervous energy … every once in awhile, right before a test, I would run around the building three times.”

Dr. Karl Luth

Chair of Chemistry and
Physics Professor


I always had a problem with math and English … before or after every single math class, I would have an hour’s worth of tutor session … I did the same for English … and I did very well because of that.

Christopher Day

Adjunct Art Professor


Probably the biggest challenge for me was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life … I started in a different major and then switched to psychology. But I still didn’t know what I wanted to do.

Dr. Pamela Danker

Chair of Psychology


I remember it as a time of … an extraordinary expansion of my mind … I don’t think I ever necessarily struggled with that … I struggled much more in high school, with who I was and what I wanted.”

 

Dr. Naomi Crummey

Chair of English and
Communications


I failed chemistry – not even close! That was shocking; I had never been bad at anything … When I finally got over my pride and went to the tutor, the tutor was amazingly helpful. But at that point in the course it was too late.

Dr. Laura Wiedlocher

Political Science Professor
