Question regarding Pass/Fail Decision

Hey guys,

I’m taking 4 classes this summer ( the program for school I’m in started freshman year in the spring, and we make up classes in the summer). 3 of my classes I’m doing very well in, all A’s, however my pre-calculus class is really challenging. The professor, online format, balancing my other classes, and super accelerated ( only six weeks long compared to the usual semester length) have made it really challenging. I’m trying my hardest, but I’m afraid I might end up with a B- to B+. I was hoping for a curve, but I’m aware than many of the other students are cheating, so I’m not too hopeful.

I took pre-calculus essentially to warm-up before taking calculus in the fall, as I haven’t taken a challenging math class since junior year of high school, and even if I could test into Calc, I didn’t think it would be the best idea without going through the fundamentals again ( clearly I was right lol, I feel way more prepared now than if I had gone in without this class).

What I’m wondering is if I pass-fail this course will it look bad on my transcript? ( I plan on taking Calculus and Statistics to complete my math requirements).

Yes. especially since you willl have grades recorded for your other courses from this semester. It will stick out like a sore thumb. People looking at a Pass in a sea of letter grades are going to assume that your actual grades was MUCH lower than a B.
