Hello, I am a freshman who is majoring in chemistry.
I, however, am 100% sure I will fail chem101. Not because I failed every test and quiz, but because I missed three discovery classes. I am signed up for the 8AM discovery class. Since I missed 3 discovery classes, I will be penalized with 8 percent off my entire grade. Without the penalty, I will be earning a C which is fine for me, however I cannot afford to fail a class especially if I am applying to medical school. Should I withdraw before November 10th which is the last day to drop a course with a “W” or should I just fail the class…
If I do withdraw, I would be retaking chem 101 next semester (Spring 2016)
Thank you!
What is a discovery class?
A “W” is always better than an “F”. Neither are good, but I’d recommend withdrawing.
