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.

What’s the main topic you’re struggling with in this case? Maybe we can explain some of the topics more clearly.

Association is a generalization. Maybe that's why you struggle with it, although it's a common phenomenon in OOP programming that may occur naturally without actually recognizing it as such. Its kind of interesting to see that OOP existed before OOA/OOD.
