Dropping classes
 

i dropped a few in my undergraduate years. and so far just one in my graduate program due to working full-time and class full-time. this semester i am taking three classes and one is a saturday class 9-11:45AM. so, no dropping classes is my goal this semester.

anyone else love dropping classes? :p

I dropped many classes when I was at school.

I did not love it though. It really put me behind.

Me!!! lol

I've dropped History I in the spring of my freshman year due to having too many credits (with the history class I would have been at 22 hours...and the max at my school is 24.)

Then I dropped my Anthropology class in the spring of my sophomore year because it was too much damn work....and i was lazy! lol.

Then this past semester I dropped my Organic Chem class cause it was too much work, and the teacher was really tough. And after that is when i decided i should change my major! lol.

So far no dropping classes, but i haven't started my spring semester yet, so we'll see what happens.

I dropped English 200 more times then I can count. Once because I got an ultrafemnazi teacher that chose nothing but Feminist propaganda as reading material.

What was the reading material that was so offensive to you?

I don't even remember anymore. I read the first chapter and it grated on my last nerve. Plus, the prof wouldn't accept my absence to play with the University Marching Band at the St. Louis Rams game as excused, even though we had a letter from the music dept president stating that it was an excused absence.

I've never dropped a class b/c I was supposed to be in school an extra semester, so I take as many classes as I can to make sure I'm only there for 4 years. But I want to take a couple over in summer school, ones that I knew I'd get a bad grade but was too scared to drop.

In the 7+ years of college (if ya want the story PM me, but it's not exciting), I don't recall ever dropping a class. I have retaken several classes that I did horribly in the first time....ah well...

I've dropped a few classes. Last semster, I've dropped my evening History of Psychology class for the afternoon one. I did that to save trouble fro my parents to drive me back and forth because of the gas prices.

I've dropped my Alcohol, Drugs, and Behavior class and received a "W". I was failing the class.

I received a"W" in one of my honors forums early in my sophomore year. I really didn't know about the dropping and receiving a "W" policy at that time. However, I took it the next semester and received an "A".

I dropped my spanish class this semester because I was swamped with my other classes and after 4 years of spanish in high school and 6 hours in college I realized I hate spanish...now after being within one class of finishing my foreign language requirement I have to take 3 more classes in another language (I chose Latin)...although with taking 6 hours over the summer and 3 more in the fall I should be down with it by the spring.

Good choice - I took Latin all three quarters of my first year in college - it's the best language! You don't have to learn to speak it (since no one knows how ancient Latin really sounded) and as long as you don't mind some memorizing, it's pretty easy.

I know it's probably bad, but I've dropped a class just about every semester I've been in school. It's been for various reasons (I couldn't handle the math in astronomy, and the school I was assigned to in my Education:Professional Experience caused me breathing problems). I'm really wishing when I came to my current school that I paid better attention to my classes, because if I want to graduate in two years, I'm going to have to carry 21+ hours, and that's gonna suck.

We had a policy where a class dropped prior to the mid-semester was done without any sort of notation on our transcript. So, most people would register for five classes, take those five until mid semester, and then drop the one that didn't work out for whatever reason. So, I dropped at least one class a year, and no one cared but myself and my advisor.

I didn't drop any classes in grad school. I figured dropping classes would extend the experience, which I was ready to complete.

I have dropped classes during my school's drop/add period in the first week of the semester. First semester freshman year, I dropped general psychology as a night class, then ended up taking it in the spring anyway, this time as an afternoon class. I also dropped World Regional geography before classes even started, which we can do.

This year I dropped Natural Disasters because the professor gave us a homework sheet that involved calculus (!!!!) in a 100 level class. I was just like screw this; I'm not doing calc in a 100 level if I don't need to, then I dropped out. Plus he hadn't taught in five years. BIG red flag. Then this semester I had to withdraw from The Planets because I was failing no matter how hard I tried. Now I'm behind in my sciences. I just hate science/math. :(

that is really the main reason I chose it...that and the fact that I can be finished with it after the fall...none of the other foreign languages they offer here would have let me do that.

Ah, memories.

In my sophomore year, I dropped 2 classes. The fall semester I dropped a Fortran class and its lab because I just could not program right for the life of me. It counted as one drop, though I could afford two. The spring semester I dropped Physics II with Calculus because I just was not understanding anything anymore.
I retook it without calculus in my junior year.

In my senior year, I dropped Food Microbiology. I was taking 5 classes that semester and did not really need it anymore. Plus I did not do well in one test because it was requiring too much memorization.

I had started a Masters program in Biotechnology at the same school where I got my Bachelors degree, but changed out of it to Science Education. After changing majors, I dropped an Infectious Diseases class. Too much homework- and I would not need it anymore.

Funny how I had to dig deep into my brain. These are not things I think about often.

And in Library School, which is what I usually mean when I talk about graduate school here, I did not drop anything. In fact, I aced all classes but one. Shows you how much can a field that you truly enjoy and that matches your strengths can make a difference in how motivated you are in achieving well in it.

I dropped a seminar on Muslim-Christian Relations. It looked VERY interesting on paper, but was WAY too much work. I peeped the syllabus on Day One and was like hell to the no.

I think I withdrew from a French class Sophomore year because I was sick of the Cafretz method (French in Action) and wanted to hold out for a section that was taught traditionally.
