I think I solved your problem by looking at your post.

Perhaps you should lay off drinking next semester.

I'm doing fairly well so far. Finals haven't started yet, but all my exams are fine (except for the two I haven't written yet, and the one calculus I flunked but I'll get another shot at it).

This was my first year too, overall i thought college is pretty easy, then again I havent taken the hardcore science classes but the workload is definitely manageable.

Mine is pretty easy... I found out friday that I can't fail any classes, no matter what my grade on the final exam is... so that's nice... I'll have a high 3 point... close to 4 hopefully. I need to get into honors college.

Though I was referring to a written exam, yes I do get a second shot at most finals too. A third at some, too.

Where do you guys go? I don't think you get a second chance at any exam here at MSU.

Do they also let people in upper level classes to retake finals?

My calc professor is from Hungry, only here for the year...

While he isn't the best professor, he is very funny.

Not really.


In calc, there are two exams per semester. If you flunk both, you're SOL. If you flunk one, then you get one more shot at it. If you pass, you can go to finals, if you don't then refer to the case of two flunked exams.

That's interesting, and what topics do you get to cover in first year Calculus over there?

how were your grades in HS?

My grades in High School were Bs and Cs - I got Bs in the classes I enjoyed and Cs in the classes I didn't enjoy. To sum it up I basically went to High School, thats it.

My major is Political Science, though it doesn't seem I can actually even get a semi-decent job with that. :(

While I am underage, I don't consider it an issuse. Having a couple beers on friday and saturday night with some good friends isn't a problem. It's just that in High School I did all my homework/studying the 5 minutes before class and it worked.

Now, it's a bit different.
