<p>I'm a student in his tentative final year of college finishing up his final GE requirements - a foreign language class. The school has kept it very vague as to what the requirements are (system-wide with transfer waivers, which I have, is one class but the school-wide is two) but I've taken the class and struggled through all semester. I've done bad on all the tests and most quizzes (one quiz I got a 100 on and got a 91 on a take-home quiz) but have done OK on most of the homeworks, have perfect attendance for the class, participate when called on and went to a seminar to get extra credit points on my final grade. All I'm looking to get is the lowest possible passing grade to gain credit and/or move on to the next class. Before anyone calls me out on a lack of ambition or something, I am doing fine in all my other [major-based] classes. I've taken other classes where I failed most tests and still walked away with decent grades. It's just foreign languages are far from my best skill, in fact they are one of my worst and I'm really worried about the grade. The professor himself seems like an okay guy, he's an international grad student teaching courses in his language field for credit, but I don't know, this class has just caused me so much stress.</p>
<p>It seems a little late to be asking about your grade now - when does the semester end? How many assignments do you have left? Do you know a ballpark estimate of your current grade? Talk to your professor about how realistic the prospect of you passing is – and see if there’s another opportunity in the near future for you to improve these prospects. </p>
<p>Go talk to your professor ASAP. Find out your grade. Find out if there is anything you can do. Don’t you have some kind of online grade system?</p>
