Re: Failed my first class ever
in 10 years, you won't even remember taking the class...
Not that it would have mattered anyways. Employers don't really give a crap, just pick up the slack and bump up that GPA. Get the diploma and move on. |

Re: Failed my first class ever
I failed one my first semester. A) GPA is meaningless unless you want to go to grad school, or join certain organizations B) It probably is a good indication you should not be in the class, cuz either u cant do it or dont want to C) Nobody really cares, and lots of peeps fail classes. I had 1.4 gpa after my first semester, and im above a 3 now, and i do no work. School doesnt even matter that much, but thats a whole other story. Good luck, dont worry about it.

Re: Failed my first class ever
i took a class in the "american culture" department called "american values" for my "race/ethnicity" requirment. i took it pass/fail (so no affect on GPA). they allow 4 absences before you fail. i felt pretty dumb when i overslept and accidentally got my fifth.
ah, sophomore year. |

Re: Failed my first class ever
I failed Object Oriented Programming and now for the past two years my job has been programming objects and methods.
Edit - Also, in the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" Robert quotes his rich dad as saying, "My banker and accountant have never asked to see my college grades". |

Re: Failed my first class ever
Yasher - I have an aversion to an F being completely wiped from your transcript. The method as you described it (F is visible to anyone reviewing the transcript, but is not calced into GPA) seems OK. I am sort of from the tough-love school of academics, and believe that one should be accountable for stuff.
But then again, I remember how much of a jackass I was in undergrad... so getting some breaks is OK. In the system my undergrad used, you could drop a class with >=2 weeks to go. It would be marked as a "W" (for Withdrawn), but would not be an F and not count towards GPA. The W was seen by anyone reviewing the transcript (and I believe viewed as an F by any discerning grad school/employer). I never had a problem with this really, and your system is basically the same thing, provided you are not so retarded that you forget to withdraw from a class you will most likely fail. -Al |
