     Get over the block.  And that is what he ought to do.

     I have seen many a student try to bull his way through.  Such
will bash his head into a wall.  Ask him if he needs help, and chances
are, you will be told no, even though it is obvious he is foundering.

     Scared of being thought to be ignorant?  That seems to be a big
one.  However, if you enrolled in a course, the general case if that
you effectively said, "I am ignorant, at least somewhat, in the
material of this course."  We already know that you are ignorant.  The
idea of taking the course was to relieve this ignorance, no?  So quit
sabotaging yourself.

     An exceptional case being taken as a norm.

     Not hardwired.  People can change.
