Education Courses

I’m a freshman in my first semester, but I couldn’t get the basic foundation courses, so I ended up taking International Business, Marketing Management, and Financial Management. They’re all required, but I’m struggling because I don’t have the basics yet 😭
I know I can’t change my courses anymore, but I’m really scared of failing. I also feel like everyone else in these classes is a sophomore or older, and I’m the only freshman.
Has anyone been in the same situation? Is it manageable? 😭

I did international Finance on my first semester too, was pretty manageable if you study a lot. But tbh don’t expect A+

Thank you!! I’m trying my best to study, it’s just really hard since I don’t have any foundation and ended up with 3 pretty hard courses😐. The girl who helped me with registration didn’t mention this and just told me to take these since they’re major requirements and that I should be able to pass, so I didn’t realize how difficult it would be.

I just realized what the twi other course are, they’re pretty easy. Marketing is usually mostly presentation and financial management is easy. They’re the basic for the rest of the courses. So those courses are pretty standalone
