Well, I failed the first test-made a 40. My question is, does anyone know if I can still pass this class because I am supposed to graduate in December and need this class to fulfill my STS minor requirement? I am sure it is only going to get harder, but if I drop this class, I will not graduate on time. If anyone wants to get together for the next test, please let me know. This stuff is way over my head.

Thanks

"Don't worry, the final isn't nearly as hard as all the other tests. I can't recommend enough that everyone in the class take it. There aren't any trick questions, and the answers are alot easier to find than in the other tests (remember Ctrl-F is your friend). It doesn't take as long to do, as a result, either. This will be the highest grade you make in that class, and it replaces the lowest test grade too. Good luck!"

i think a 40 in there is like a D or the baseline F. His syllabus should have all the conversions on it since he curves the class like none other. All the tests are the same kinda stuff so just do all the extra credit and make like 50's on ur other tests and you'll pass.

oh yeah, i think there is an "optional final" you can take which is like the same length as the other tests and covers material off all the other tests. If you take it, it replaces ur lowest test grade.

stay in the class just focus for the i dunno 4 days total outta the semester in which you spend for the 4 tests or whatever he gives.

if you just hit all false for the true/false questions youll get at least a 40

just get lucky on a few multiple choice and youre in the c+/b- range

are you taking it in person or online?

if online, find someone to take the tests with and break up the work.
