<p>So it's my second year doing EE, and I just found out that I'm going to fail a Physics class for the second time. It's the only class I've ever failed.</p>
<p>The first time I failed it was my first term at my university. I got put on 'academic warning' status and petitioned to keep receiving financial aid, which was successful.</p>
<p>A few terms have gone by and I've been doing well, especially in my Engineering classes. I don't know what it is about this Physics class, but unfortunately I don't have any good excuses for why I failed it. I'm worried that my college career/life is now over (I know it's not, that's just how it feels) and I feel like a failure because I couldn't get my act together.</p>
<p>I talked to the professor just to make sure there's nothing I can do, and there isn't. Grades haven't been officially submitted yet and small part of me still hopes that he'll change his mind and take pity on me--I only need 2% more to pass--but I doubt he will.</p>
<p>I'm not really looking for advice, because at this point there's nothing left to be done but pray this isn't too damaging and do better next time.</p>
<p>Has anyone else here had a similar experience? What sort of trouble did you get in with your university, and how have you recovered from it?</p>
<p>I would find out the policy on re-takes for your school. My school will actually not let you take a class the third time, so one would have to change their major. Which physics is this, if it is just the normal 1 & 2 (classical & em) then just take that class at the CC and get it over with.</p>
<p>DD had a geology major friend that failed Physics twice. She passed on the 3rd try and went on to graduate and get and job I hope you find a way solution here - good luck!</p>
<p>I agree with chuck I’m guessing it is calc base physics one! Take it at a CC which in theory should be easier! Look around there are CCs that offer it online! ( which is a breeze from what I hear)</p>
<p>Congrats! Try to start earlier with your classes and stay on top of them so you don’t get so close to passing/failing in the future.</p>
<p>For my D’s school, she found out that you have to have at least a C+ to “pass” courses in your major. A plain “C” won’t do it, so she had to retake a course in her major because of this and we got to pay another year of tuition. Stuff happens!</p>
