Just bombed a 35% midterm so badly :facepalm:

I knew the answers the second I looked at my notes after class but I tried cramming everything too late when I was studying, then got confused and answered questions completely incorrectly. This is the type of test I should have got an A+ on and I'm going to fail.

I'm actually having to figure out right now whether I want to drop the course and get a VW on my degree or if I want to stay in it and lose the scholarship money, because there's maybe a 10% chance my average will be high enough now :facepalm:

Which is the better option, lads: 1) $1,000 and having to retake the course with a VW being put on my record, or 2) $0 and getting it over with now?

by Forza Tue Jun 24, 2014 2:17 am

What's a VW?

by Kick Tue Jun 24, 2014 3:01 am

That sucks, Eman.

Neither of those options sound particularly good.

by beatrixasdfghjk. Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:24 am

What's the average you need for your scholarship?

by fatman123 Tue Jun 24, 2014 10:30 am

I dont know who VW is

by beatrixasdfghjk. Tue Jun 24, 2014 11:40 am

On second thoughts .. I think I'd drop it and get the Volkswagon, could probably sell it for more than my scholarship if it was a good one.

by fatman123 Tue Jun 24, 2014 11:54 am

Just to rub a bit more salt in your wound Eman, i just got back the mark for the major assesment for one of my subjects for this sem and got 62%, but still managed to get a distinction for the subject Cool

by beatrixasdfghjk. Tue Jun 24, 2014 12:40 pm

You have results already?

by Eman Tue Jun 24, 2014 3:42 pm

Sadly I do not receive a free Volkswagon for dropping a course Sad

VW means 'Voluntary Withdrawal.' They just put it on your degree transcript so if in the future anyone looks at my grades throughout university, it will show that I chose to drop the course, which is easily explainable of course but I'd rather avoid the question of why I dropped it.

beatrixasdfghjk. wrote:What's the average you need for your scholarship?

I need an 84% average and I only have 4 classes this semester, so less than an A in any one class could drag me down since I don't think I'll be getting 90's in any course (lots of group work). I've always managed to reach this average before and I'm in my last year of school, so as minor as I suppose this is being the one midterm I've bombed for my whole degree, it would ruin the flawless record.

Still, unless I actually do fail the midterm, I won't drop the course I've decided. I've just let myself get selfish about good grades - it's not the end of the world to do badly once in a while.

by beatrixasdfghjk. Tue Jun 24, 2014 7:05 pm

Seeing as it's your last year, what would happen if you repeated?

by Eman Wed Jun 25, 2014 5:01 am

I could still pull it off in my last semester in the Winter, after my final co-op term this Fall, so it wouldn't really mess me up. I only need to take 2 classes technically in the winter so there is space for it, although I was planning on taking an elective or two. Either way, it will be an easy semester.

by fatman123 Sat Jun 28, 2014 12:08 am

Tfw exam should've started 5 minutes ago.....

by beatrixasdfghjk. Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:52 am
