To drop or not to drop?

Transfer Students

<p>I'm taking a 5-credit language class that has a strict attendance policy. All (more or less) of my test/homework scores have been A's, but my professor's subtracting 7 percentage points from my grade due to absences, which should leave me with a B. Should I take a B in that 5-credit class or should I take a W, repeat the class next semester, and get a grade that reflects my knowledge of the material...and not how many times I went to class?</p>

<p>(I'll be applying to other schools next year. Would taking a W make it seem like I had a C or D and dropped to avoid failing?)</p>

<p>Is a B all that bad? If it is, take a W and briefly explain the situation to your schools in written form. Or simply say you realized the class had a nasty dynamic you didn't like. If your transcript otherwise isn't full of W:s, nobody'll care that much.</p>

<p>Take the B... I went through a similar dilemma when I took a Statistics course. If you fall any lower than a B, I recommend the W.</p>

<p>take it pass fail</p>

<p>just take the b...dont drop cuz then you will probably have to wait another full year to re-take it, and you dont want to waste your time. i am in a 5 credit language course too with a strict attendance policy...</p>

<p>Youre lame for correcting me for not using an apostrophe.</p>

<p>Im sick of people on CC trying to detract from a statement if you dont use apostrophes or capitalization while youre typing. </p>

<p>Im not an idiot. Dont make me look like one. This is the internet. Be thankful I capitalized...lamo.</p>
