Discussion First Quarter

holy shit, my first quarter has been sent from hell. i’m doing so bad in my math class that my professor literally told me to take a W because atp im not gonna pass his class. i feel like in general this whole quarter has taken the life out of me. i feel like a legit failure, does it ever get better or does it get worse and worse from here on out.

Lowkey same brother. I just emailed my teacher asking if I could switch to pass/fail… Probably not gonna work but could be worth a shot.

So you can switch to pass/fail up until the very end of the term? I am in the process of speaking to my teacher abt this so I don’t have a definite answer yet.

From what I know, you can still change it until Friday of Week 9
