Dropping classes

AznSAE · #1 01-04-2006, 02:24 PM

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?

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 think I dropped 2 classes. One was because of the professor, I knew I wouldn't do well and I had a lot of my plate that semster, and the other was because I was transfering and I knew I wouldn't get credit for it, so why do all the work?

I've actually never dropped a class. I've come really close, but for some reason I always decided to stick it out and ended up doing pretty well.

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.
