<p>I just finished up my first year at a CCC & am planning to transfer to UCSB by this winter to major in Global Studies: Culture & Ideology. I already have 42 units including most of my major prep classes & only need one english class + one physical science with lab to complete IGETC.</p>
<p>this summer, I am studying abroad in paris where I was planning on taking art history & french 2. BUT, my horrible french 1 professor made a mistake of giving me an F for the spring semester. it was an ridiculously awful class really, all we did was watch movies & have potlucks but I thought I deserved a C at least! he didn't even show up to class the day of the final & we later found out he flew to france the previous night. I e-mailed him about it but he won't reply! I've already taken 3 years of spanish in high school which waives the foreign language requirement but I really wanted to take french 2 in paris since I'll gain a better experience which I am planning to write about in my personal statement.</p>
<p>the french 2 professor actually knows my french 1 professor, so should I ask him to e-mail him about my grade? what I'm afraid of is my french 1 professor explaining to him how 1 really did deserve that F somehow then the french 2 professor holding it against me. I'm already enrolled in this french 2 class which starts next month on campus & continues in paris. should I tell the french II professor at all? if I end up taking the french 2 class without the french 1 credit, what will happen?</p>
<p>my GPA right now is a 3.3, major GPA a 3.5, but with this F I have a 2.7 since french is a 5 unit class. I've read on previous posts that with a 2.8 & IGETC completed transfer is guaranteed? I can already see myself staying at my CCC for the spring just to raise my GPA. <em>sigh</em> what should i do? help!</p>
