[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most required prerequisite classes cannot be taken pass/fail.

If his grade was so close to failing that one missed assignment brought him to an F, he doesn’t have a good grasp of intro material for his intended major, which is a significant issue even if the school does allow prerequisites to be pass/fail.

I’d suggest retaking the class or rethinking the major. [/quote]

He got an 85 on the first essay. This is the second, which will now be a 0. Then there;s a 3rd. Thats 75% of the grade, There are weekly quizzes, for a total of 10% of the grade, which he's gotten b/w 75-90% on. Then participation points on an online forum, which I assume he's been doing. I'm trying to figure out the math on this, maybe he's confused about the calculation, he's never been a math person. And frankly I'm not sure how to calculate it either. I'll recheck tomorrow. I think he needs 70% in the class for a fail. This isn't his declared major, but he was planning a minor, if not double major in this class. he always does things on a whim without thinking it through, i didn't know he was taking this pass/fail. He's smart, but does these crazy things which make a mess of things and I can't reel him in.[/quote]
