Have my other finals tomorrow. I have an F in one of them, what should I do?

honestly would should have dropped to get an incomplete, then retake it next semester. But go since there is still a possibility.

I am leaning towards A because of avoiding a low grade point average but with my overall stuff I learned was just too incoherent because my professor sucks at instructing. What would be the point?

dude definitely go to your final.  if you get a D at least you get credit for the course.  you have your whole life to play red dead redemption.

This sounds like a similar boat that I've been in before.  Luckily, I haven't had the problem of dealing with an F, but in any case, I would absolutely go to the final.  If for anything else, give yourself a chance to do well.  While people say grades all that important, they do hold some merit on a resume, so definitely don't let this one class drag you down.  Go to the final and kick some ass!

Depending on how your university handles retakes, and if you are definitely going to retake the class, it may not matter. Aside from your parents freaking out, that is. For a D, most schools won't even give you credit for the class if it's required for your major.

You should have dropped that class a long time ago. Last semester when I was close to failing, I studied 8-12 hrs a day "focused". That means I take breaks, that means I don't study the whole 12hrs (brings it down to 8) but when you studied, you conentrated with all your will. I did that for two weeks and aced all my exams and pulled through.

Dude, even if the instructor sucks, you almost need to try to get F's.  Take the fucking exam.

You need to just move on from your previous test and go for it.
Stop dwelling over things that already happened.

Been there, done that. You'll find in college that you really are your own teacher. You just can't rely on professors all that much. Grab the textbook/study material and hunker down in the library where you are free from distractions. You honestly need to try to make the best of a bad situation, because I guarantee that if you don't give it a shot that you will look back on it *a lot* and not be proud at all. Just give it your best effort and then you can't be very disappointed. You tried.

numero dos!

All right thank you dawgs.

Go to your final, are you stupid or something? The game will always be there, you can wait a day or two.

Don't give up.

Man up.
 
Dude's name is The Nelsenator, so he has to be in the right.

The correct answer: Go get Red Dead Redemption and play all day.
The real answer: Go take that exam and ace it and then go play Red Dead Redemption all day.
tough choice.

I did that. The issue is that the teacher is just bad. Although he shows us what is up, his tests which are exaggerated (all the homework and quizzes are just 5%) in overall percentage provide very incoherent questions that most of us can't answer for over twenty minutes. For a two hour class, he uses almost an hour for "review" when the tests is too long when taken. I would have dropped it but I was deceived by his lectures that seemed coherent.
 
Funny note that he talks about his classes' pass rate in the semester as part of an exercise and most of what was shown was below D; only some higher grades. After taking his class, I can understand why.

Not to be a dick, but this is the kind of shit you need to figure out before you register for his class. Getting good profs is a huge part of getting a good grade. The more work you put in to figuring out the good teachers, the less stress you will have by avoid situations like this. "

It depends. If they have <15 posts then ignore it. Profs are given student evaluations, if they fail or do poorly on enough they get into shit.

I really should have said B, and chances are you're not going to ace it anyway, but the better part of me says to go to finals. Finals only last for one day, but Red Dead's always going to be there when you get out, right?

"Go do the final. I will get a D if I ace it."

Don't give up. It's just a few extra hours of torture. "

Go do Red Dead Redemption. You will get an A if you buy it.

Oh man, im a bad person. I was about to lecture you on going to your finals no matter what, but as soon as I saw RDR I clicked that option heheh... =x
 
You should probably get off the internet and cram! I always cram a lot the day before the test, then skim all my notes right before going in to the exam room, that way its still fresh in my memory. Its worked so far.

Well, it's a new school year. How are things going with your degree?

Even if it seems hopeless, I would still go with A. I still showed up for the final of the only class that I ever failed, knowing that if I got a perfect score I would fail anyway. I felt better about myself despite it being a waste of time.

Wow what a necro but it's all good. To all wondering, I am doing really good in my classes for the past semesters now! I redid the class with an F and got an A due to a much more helpful instructor!

Except for English, amirite?
