Will the professor allow me to pass this course?

<p>So here is my situation: </p>

<p>I am an undergraduate doing computer science. I took discrete math, which is a major requirement, over the summer and didn't pass so I had to retake it again this semester in the fall. Of course, as you all know, finals have just finished and I will be knowing my final grade in the class. This time, I did not do much better than before. In the summer I got a high D close to a C. And this time I might be right below the cut. </p>

<p>This is my second time attempting the course and the University policy is that you can attempt a course NO MORE than 2 times. Thus, if I did not pass discrete math this time, they will kick me out of my major since it is a major requirement. </p>

<p>When I find out my final grade in the course, if I get below a C, like maybe around 67% - 68% which is possible, should I go talk to my professor and ask him to allow me to pass the course with a C? (or C-)</p>

<p>I will give him my case and let him understand it. </p>

<p>I believe the professor should be merciful enough to let me pass, at least.</p>

<p>I have nothing to lose by asking him.</p>

<p>Opinions folks?</p>

<p>You’re right, you have nothing to lose by asking him. So, you might was well do it.</p>

<p>Why do you keep doing so poorly in this class? How are you doing in other classes?</p>

<p>I am not sure, this is the only class I am doing poorly in. The other computer science classes like programming and what not I am doing well in. I think it is a combination of work ethic and course material that is difficult to grasp.</p>

<p>Well good luck man, hopefully you get a pass on this one and can keep going.</p>
