[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] this is not yet a fail based on the math you posted and assuming he does 85 or above on that 3rd essay, does all the rest. YOU do not need to look at the math, HE needs to talk to the professor immediately. If he indeed is going to fail (which means he is not telling you the whole truth), many professors will allow a late withdrawal and it goes on transcript as WNP , withdraw not passing. Then they retake it. No job or grad school will care about one of these so early on in college. It is a learning moment that is all. [/quote] Lol, the other poster calculated that it would be a fail. I know they have a website to calculate it, and I think thats what dc used to determineit was indeed a fail, but I will double chceck.[/quote]
