Dropping a Course...

<p>Warbler, what if you will pass the class with a C?</p>

<p>Eh, that's where you have to make a judgment call, I think. An advisor can answer this kind of question much better than I can, but I'll summarize what my advisor told me. If the class is important, and it provides a foundation for future courses, withdrawing and rethinking your approach might be a good idea. On the other hand, several W's aren't good either. It might be a good idea to consider why you're not doing so well, which might help you decide. Is it a course overload that cuts down on your studying for the course, or is the course material itself challenging? If the course material itself is difficult, trying to find better ways to improve (tutors, study buddies/groups, etc.) might be the way to go. If the course overload is the problem, withdrawing is a viable option.</p>

<p>Warbler, I feel overloaded. I have so much on me. However, I'm able to do well in my other courses (As) because I have a natural affinity for reading and writing. The class I'm doing poorly in is quantitative, and it's taking me a longer time to grasp the concepts even though I do well on the homework.</p>
