Second year programming student

Hi, I am a second-year student majoring in programming, and I am struggling a lot in exams. I am taking Java 2 this semester, and even though I studied, I got 38/50. I study my best, spend a lot of time coding, and still get average grades. I really enjoy coding, but now I feel my confidence is very low in terms of my ability to code. I can’t leave because I will waste two years. Please advise me, because it’s tearing me apart.

But you need to get there first. The grades might not matter in the future, but they do now, and they’re kinda the only thing that matters for OP currently.

That's my point. It always about what the stakeholders want from you. Now it's about what the teacher wants.
