<p>So, I'm doing really poorly in math 1b. My past 2 midterms are waaaay below the average (for the first one I got a 27 and the prof told us anything below a 37 was a F) and on the 2nd midterm and I got a 29 ( I don't know what the average was but I'm assuming this is an F). I feel like no matter what I do, I'll end up failing the course. If I retake this later on and get a better grade, will the better grade change replace my current Math 1B grade? thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, if you retake it later on and get a better grade, the better grade will be recalculated to your GPA. However, your previous grade will still be on your transcript.</p>
<p>Only 12 units of repeated D or F grades will be replaced by the later grades, and repeating a course more than once requires special approval.</p>

<p>Recommend you check out the services at the Student Learning Center. Here’s the link for Math 1B tutoring: [SLC</a> | Math 1B](<a href=“http://slc.berkeley.edu/math_stat/math1b.htm]SLC”>Math 1B | Student Learning Center). You can also make an appointment to speak with a Study Strategies Adviser. Go to the Math 1B Tutoring Open Drop-in Hours; go to any of the Math 1B Study Groups you can make it to. There’s lots of resources there; don’t give up. Good luck!</p>
<p>Retake in summer school; you’ll be able to concentrate on the class. The classes are also taught by more lenient GSIs during the summer.</p>
<p>Retake the class. The summer class is much more interactive and you shouldn’t have as serious of a problem. If I were you, I would just get an incomplete and choose to freeze the incomplete.</p>
