Im at a Junior College. I have 3 pages of a 10 page midterm done that is due at noon tomorrow. I am gonna fail.

Lucky for me, I can drop and recieve a "W" which aint bad, but it aint good either. I think ill do that, but then I will only have 7 units and I will desperatly need a job or something to fill my extra hours.

EDIT: its actually 7 units, not 6 like I had previously...

Carry on.

Most major universities will not admit a transfer student with more than three "W"s.

It depends on what a W is. Some schools have a certain number of drops that you can use with zero penalties attached. Various schools have different names for them. And I had no problems getting in with all of my "no penalty drops" used.

yeah. With focus on pre-modernism, modernism, and post-modernism. The basics you know.

Yeah. He's still got plenty of time.

I did a 30 page paper a few semesters ago in two days. 10 pages by noon should be a piece of cake.

And when you say postmodernism, are you talking about postmodernity or postmodern social theory? :D

A W is definately not good! I was contemplating dropping a course last year for a W but was advised not to do so by a university counselor. He told me that when applying for a Masters program, a W or multiple W's can severely hurt your chances.

Yeah he should be able to BS his way to a C.

yeah, I think that maybe I could. My main problem is that I have to pull an A. Now, I have two options, I could fail the class and REPEAT it, for the grade. Not sure how that works out. Or I could get a W. Either way, I have until the 22nd of next month to decide that.

W = Wanker

You have not completed your training. You are to blame. Accept responsibility. *hands you Katana* You must now finish it.

Sociology is easy when you're only taking one or two classes to fulfill a humanities requirement or whatever. :D
But it can be pretty tough when you major or minor in it.

I was a socio/econ major. I actually enjoyed sociology, a lot of good information.

Why did you procrastinate so much? What a waste of time and money :(
