[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely if he got an F he just didn't attend and/or didn't submit. If he's otherwise doing OK, my guess is he blew it off and misjudged the reprecussions. For example my program states that 4 absences for a course that meets weekly is automatic fauilure - some students test this. Have a heart to heart with him about how serious he is about school. [/quote] Again, this is not always the case. I'm the poster above. My kid probably could have recovered from the failed tests if he had advocated and met with the professor and maybe wound up with a C- (as he did when he retook it), but for him it was indeed the content (a professor created-macro that broke down Excel every time you made a mistake, in the middle of in-class tests--nobody got As in the class and test averages were around 60%). Those of you whose kids haven't experienced professors like this have no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]
