My HST class

I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail my HST 101 this semester. The professor that I have is really tough for some reason. His tests are quite the doozy too. I failed my first 2 tests in his class so I'm not very confident about passing his class. I also didn't do very well on my papers. I am planning on re-taking the class either in the summer or in the fall. This isn't the first time taking history here either. I took history last year, it was black history. I ended up dropping that class because of how hard it was. I'm starting to think that I'm just really bad at history. I'm not very good at remembering dates and such. I also don't really study that much and it seems like you need to study a crap ton for history in order to just pass the exams. I'm going to keep all of his tests and take his class again. Hopefully, if he keeps his tests questions the same then I will be able to do much better. I'm still no good at writing papers though.
