<p>So I'm a freshman here at UF and I'm an accounting major. I'm pretty much failing Microeconomics. I have no idea what to do. Should I drop or withdrawl from the class? If I do that, I wouldn't be on track anymore. =( Therefore, should I change my major to exploratory until I'm back on track for the accounting major?</p>
<p>This is completely off topic but what was your unweighted GPA and ACT/SAT score that got you into UF?</p>
<p>No, don’t drop it. I’m really off track due to me failing a course and not having a full schedule my second semester. If it’s not too late, get extra help from your professor and start going to the tutoring center at your school. If it is too late for you to at least get a C, then I’d say withdraw from the course, and just retake the course during the intersession or over the summer.</p>
<p>Have you tried smoking notes for that class? I found those to be really helpful.</p>
<p>@snormy: that is competely off topic; and I think I know why you’re asking the question but I’m just going to go ahead and say this: Even the best of the best can struggle horrifically. It happens.</p>

<p>Regarding OP, yeah, try smoking notes. If you have the Rush professor, I believe he has various practice exams for students to use. Master them. Don’t forget to read! I loved the class; the key is truly understanding the lectures 100%.</p>
<p>Now if the grading system works the same and you got past Midterm 2…and you’re failing AFTER doing Midterm 2 (like you got Fs on both the Midterms, or a D and F or something), go ahead and withdraw. It’s either you fail the class and are off track or you withdraw and you are off track, at that point. Schedule a meeting with the adviser assigned to you (or any adviser), withdraw from the class, and ask about the next steps.</p>
<p>If you’re off track, I believe you have one last chance the next term of getting back on track. Microeconomics is tricky, but it’s all about applying it. You need to make sure for each concept, you can apply to the real world, both in your, a consumer’s, a producer’s, and even political shoes.</p>
