I think I'm going to be kicked out of grad school

[Random Variable]

For whatever reason (probably because I'm stupid) I'm doing very poorly this semester. I hate myself.

Stop posting on ATOT and study.

It's too late. I'm already fvcked.

That's pretty bad considering they only hand out A's, B's, and F's. And the only reason they hand out an F is because you don't show up to class.

I guess I'm really stupid.

 

[PhaZe]

What did you do? (or failed to do)

 

[coldmeat]

well with that attitude, of course you are

 

[xeemzor]

I feel that way as an undergrad computer engineer right now. It sucks, but at least I'll be able to deal with it for one more semester until I transfer and switch majors to accounting.

So you are saying that grad students just have to show up to class and will get A and B? LOL...what grad school is it?

OP, is it too late to drop your classes? It is better to have W grades than F.

Keep digging my friend, I'm in 2 grad classes this semester and I have not done all that well in the one. There will have to be a curve for the class.

No, it's not too late.

I'm taking two classes as well, both with the same professor. The material isn't all that hard, but his exams confuse the heck out of me.

I'm pretty much the same and switching to Finance.

Just keep on truckin. I'm in a class like that now but I keep a good attitude and keep trying, besides the semesters not even half way through.

With that kind of can-do attitude you will get far in life.

i dont know about other schools, but in mine a lot of people are already half done their midterms, and midterms can count for alot

 

[kedlav]

W for I'm about to fail, but I'm aware I'm better off eating $2000+ dollars instead of screwing up my GPA.

Even if you get an F on your midterm and that is 50% of your grade if you work your ass off and get a B or A on the final the prof will normally give you a C or possibly even a B if you get in their office and make them realize how hard you are working.

The OP is a douche bag.

 

[imported_stev]

Chances are you're not the only one who thinks he's sucking it up. I had a fluid dynamics class in my first year of grad that kicked my ass! I was worried I wasn't going to pass the class, but I still escaped with a 3.0. Later, I found out that other people had similarly difficult times in that same class.

If you really want this degree, I'd say stick it out, especially if you'll have to wait a year to retake these classes again like I would have. It got better for me the next quarter, I was pulling mid 3's in all of my classes.

Good luck, hang in there.

C in grad school = F

Madison's grad school chemistry program, 2Cs = goodbye. Don't know how it is else where though.

That is a pretty standard policy. Generally you either have to have at least a B in your core classes or all of your classes.

That, my friend, is a wise decision. You will NEVER have to worry about finding a job and in 7 years, your probably be making more than an engineer, especially if you get your CPA. Some wisdom though....if you ever want a life, stay away from the big 4.

Not the RV thread I would have expected. Good luck!
