im taking this class DE with dominique this summer..should i take it as credit only or do you think I could get an A in it?

I say take it credit only for no other reason than to minimize the effort involved.

as long as you can the the physical activities easily (not sure what 105 is off the top of my head) and you do well on the exams you could make an A. I heard volleyball is an easy A

just finished it... take it by credit only b/c you have to be in really good aerobic shape to get a high grade on the fitness scale

i'm in really good shape and pulled what would have been a b and in my opinion if you're not getting an A and you have the option to take it for credit only... take it for credit only!!

smcrawfo:

there are two mandatory testing sessions on campus, one at the beginning of the course and one at the end. my understanding is that they look for how many sit-ups/pushups you can do and then look for improvement. there are also a couple of tests from the book.

I took it two years ago and you need to be reaaaaaallllllly flexible to get an A on all your tests, I'd stick with credit only
