Will taking a class Pass/Fail hurt me?

[Metalloid]

I am an Engineer at the University of Michigan. I am currently taking physics, calc II, an engineering class, and sociology 101 (to fulfill social science credits).

I am considering taking the soc class as pass/fail because it in no way applies to my major, and will allow me to focus more on the other class(I have a pretty full workload.... 17 credits).

Will grad schools and employers frown upon me taking this class as pass/fail, even if it has nothing to do with my career and is only for credit requirements?

no you'll be fine

 

[Krk3561]

doubt it matters that much

 

[Yossarian]

employers won't give a fvck. no clue about grad schools.

Pass/Fail is a unviersity's gift to engineers who need to cover breadth requirement with stupid crap like 'ethnical studies' or whatever.

only if u fail it

oh and make sure that pass/fail is allowed if that class is one of ur social studies requirements

North... Baits 1

I decided to live up here thinking that it would be great because all of my classes are on North. This is true.... once I am a junior. But for now, I have 3 classes on Central and only one up here.

Well if I fail the class with a graded scale, I still fail it.

And yea, I checked and its ok for me to do that.
