<p>Definitely time to let others on a higher level deal with this. I say, delay signing the paper, retake the class and move on. The US school should definitely warn their students to avoid this class in future.</p>
<p>And thanks for the hint about taking semester abroad classes pass/fail. My D is thinking about going to a semester abroad and studying something that is not part of her major, so taking classes pass/fail on this semester abroad would make great sense. I wouldn’t have thought of it.</p>
