horrible wam (law)
hey everyone,
i know it sounds stupid but i do need some advice.
I had a horrible first sem due to mental health. I got one D, and the rest of my subjects a scraped credits. For reference, i do double degree law and business.
For my law subjects specifically, i never participated and didn't put in the work, so I obviously did not do well. I got 68 for foundations and 67 for ethics.
This semester I really wanted to work harder, so I participated a lot more. This torts assignment I had a case note, so I tried as hard as I could because I did terrible in the last case note in foundations. I worked on the feedback, read the case thoroughly, studied a lot and put many hours towards it. Today I got my mark back and its the worst mark I have ever received. I'm so shocked that I took previous feedback and implemented changes only for my mark to get worse. Half the feedback I got was critiquing stuff I changed based on previous feedback, and its worth 30% of my grade and the final exam is 20 days away.
I really wanted a comeback because I want a paralegal job in my third year. I have browsed the jobs and most of them ask for a distinction wam and a transcript. I'm just really upset because I have tried so hard all sem, and the progress has shown in my business subjects because im averaging D to HD in all of them this sem. But for law, the degree that matters to me the most, I have just gone completely backwards.
Does anyone have any advice on how to improve or how much my wam matters. I am really disheartened by this because this will now be the third law subject I have done terrible in
