<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I am in a predicament. I am currently enrolled in Hald's Math 1A class. We just took our 2nd midterm yesterday, and I came out feeling not so good. Why? Because I believe I am in danger of failing.</p>
<p>Here is how grades will be computed:</p>
<ul>
<li>First midterm 15%</li>
<li>Second midterm 15%</li>
<li>Quizzes 15%</li>
<li>Homework 10%</li>
<li>Final 45%</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is what I believe I have so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>First midterm -- B/B-</li>
<li>Second midterm -- B/B-</li>
<li>Quizzes -- F*</li>
<li>Homework -- F*</li>
<li>Final -- not yet</li>
</ul>
<p>*I have F's for quizzes and hw because I never make it to my discussion times to take the quizzes or to turn the hw in. (I have a VERY early discussion time...It has been a good lesson for me to manage my sleeping time better)</p>
<p>My concern is whether or not I am in danger of failing this course (i.e. lower than a C), and whether or not I have any options available at this point. Some factors and questions I am dealing with:</p>
<ul>
<li>This is a prerequisite for my major (L&S CS)</li>
<li><p>Since I received a 4 on the AP Calc AB test, I was tested out of this class anyway...does that lead to any further options? (Perhaps I don't need the grade for this class after all? Or something?)</p></li>
<li><p>More importantly: is it possible for me to even consider changing this course to P/NP since I need it as a major prerequisite?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Any help or guidance is very much appreciated. Thanks.</p>
