Find a copy of the solutions manual and sit through and work out every single problem. I have to do that myself, because I SUCK at dynamics.

FAQ: Advice for Dealing with a Difficult Teacher
What should I do if my teacher is consistently rude or mean?
If your teacher is consistently rude or mean, it is important to first try to understand the reasons behind their behavior. Are they experiencing personal issues? Are they stressed or overwhelmed? Once you have a better understanding, try talking to them calmly and respectfully about your concerns. If that does not work, consider talking to a school counselor or administrator for further assistance.
How can I cope with a teacher who has unrealistic expectations?
If your teacher has unrealistic expectations, it is important to communicate with them and let them know that you are struggling. Ask for specific examples of what they expect and try to negotiate a more reasonable workload. If that doesn't work, consider talking to a school counselor or administrator for support and guidance.
What if my teacher doesn't seem to like me?
If your teacher doesn't seem to like you, it is important to first reflect on your own behavior and actions. Are you actively participating in class and showing respect to your teacher? If so, try talking to them and asking for feedback on how you can improve. If the issue persists, seek support from a trusted adult or school counselor.
How do I handle a teacher who plays favorites?
If you feel like your teacher is playing favorites, it is important to remember that this is not your fault and it is not personal. Focus on your own work and try not to compare yourself to others. If you feel comfortable, you can also try talking to your teacher about your concerns and asking for equal opportunities in the classroom.
What should I do if my teacher is unapproachable?
If your teacher is unapproachable, it can be difficult to seek their guidance or assistance. In this case, try talking to a school counselor or another teacher who you feel comfortable talking to. They may be able to offer advice or help mediate any issues between you and your difficult teacher.
