SLP graduate school kicked out?

[R104]

I’m currently a first semester graduate student at my dream school. I’m having serious trouble in two of my classes. The ultimate person to blame is myself...but how the two classes run is part of my problem. For these two classes, I have the same professor. She’s a tough grader and her exams are hard. Her midterm and final for both classs laid out like this: the questions are all multiple choice, the questions have multiple answers, and if you miss one part of the questions it’s completely wrong. I don’t do well with that kind of exam. I am grasping the material for sure, but being graded harshly on two papers and having trouble with the layout of the exam is an apparent reflection of whether or not I understand the material. I’ve met with her a few times but she cannot give me any feed back on papers. I expressed my concerns to her about the exams and she is testing our knowledge so that is why the exams are formatted that way. She said she appreciated that I came to her but at the same time I don’t think she did. I’m so afraid that I’m going to be removed from the program. From the second I wake up to the second I fall asleep, it’s on my mind. I start to wonder whether I’m a fit for the field or not because of how I’m struggling. I’ve wanted to be an SLP since I was 16 years old; I can’t imagine doing anything else but this. I’m hoping I can get some advice and insight on this issue. Thanks everyone.

You've skipped a few bits of information here.

• What do your program's rules say about such cases? Do students who struggle/fail/get Cs or whatever get expelled immediately? Do they get put on probation? Who is in charge of making these decisions? 
• Have you talked to anyone other than this professor about your concerns? Do you have an academic advisor who can help you here? 
• How are other students doing in this class? Are you the only one struggling with these exams? How about students in previous years? I'm also confused about the papers -- that is an entirely different mode of evaluation, so why are there problems there, too? Why can't you get any feedback -- that's not okay.

Sorry that I was unclear about some things. Hope this clarifies :). My program works like this: the passing grade for a class is a B. If you get a B- you have to remediate. If you get one C, you have to repeat the course. If you get two C's you are removed from the program. I am not sure of whether it is on an individual basis or the same across the board, I am not sure. There are a handful of students that are struggling as well. The students in the past have done well, but the department chair informed the Fall 2017 students that we are being held to a higher standard so they made the program harder. We received papers back with grades on them. If we went to see her, she would give us feedback, but she would not help with anything before it was handed in.
