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.
