Never give up
Whenever a student is struggling in a course there should be a better system to help the student do better. A lot of students aren't mature enough to recognize that hard work at anything will produce positive results. So it may be up to the teacher to help a student recognize that. If a student is struggling in a course the teacher should take the first step in setting up private help sessions and what not.
