Your GPA would be the same if you failed it now or in the summer.
But the point of taking it in the summer is that you won’t fail it because it will be the only class you are taking and you can take it with a different instructor.
If you do take it in the summer at a CC, make 100% sure that it will transfer and cover the course you need. A local CC, or even a CC in the same state, will most likely have courses that are noted as transferrable for certain equivalent courses at your college. Just triple check with your school’s transfer office.
Thank you. I did tried to take chemistry last semester but I ended up not doing signing up for it but I do know that at my local CC they do have it. What do you think about Physics’s at the same school but they offer it online over the summer? Is with the same professor
See if you can find a couple people who have taken it online in the summer with that professor. You want to know if he covers the same material in the same way, if the requirements are the same, if you can get a sense of whether it’s easier or harder online in the summer. If it’s a notoriously tough class, there will be opinions about it among your fellow students. Get your hands on a summer syllabus and check out the requirements and pacing.
If you’re having trouble understanding the material, itself, it might not be the professor that is the problem. Although you could benefit from how a different person presents it or the expectations of the course.
It would be very good idea to find some other resources to help you as you go through the course whenever or wherever you end up taking it. There is a lot of information online or maybe consider getting a tutor. If it’s the only course you are taking, you will be able to devote more time.
In my opinion online courses(summer)are tough to master if the material is not familiar. Especially math/science courses where the option of office hours is not as consistent. Online courses also tend to be more “self-taught.” Given your current understanding of physics… might not be the best mode.
I don’t want to sound discouraging, but my honest advice is that you need to reexamine the path you’re on. It’s always better to make adjustments sooner rather than later.
A rule is that premeds can only get As in basic pre-reqs. Sure, you can have a couple Bs, but organic chemistry is way harder than any freshman weedout class and since your gpa needs to be A- and a B in organic is pretty good, calculate yourself!
If you get a C you’re no longer premed. If you get an F your gpa will be in such a hole that it may impact getting internships etc. So, take the W.
Take physics at a CC, NOT online and NOT with the same instructor. Get an A. Take physics 2 at your college wirh a good instructor. (You need level 2 for any class taken at a CC to be at your college). Your other math class should be biostatistics or elementary statistics.
