well,im now taking this course in college that i suck at and im wondering if i should drop it

firstly,i missed out one of the tests which is worth about 20% because i forgot there was a test that day. and i have been failing most of my assignments which are worth another 10% so far.

but my dad paid for it and its not cheap...and id feel guilty as heck if i dropped it :(

i know i most probably will be able to pass if i did extremely well for the next two tests and the rest of my assignments. but im not too hopeful about it.

i really dont want a failing grade...:\

i think u do well in summut if u find it interesting, do yoo?
if si id say just knuckle down and give it ur all, theres no special trick to doing well its just about working ur arse off.
if ur not interested tho then talk to ur dad, look into subjects ud wanna take up instead...tha way i dont think its such a blow.
good luck!

Well i think you should stick at it and try your best to get the grade you need. If you don't im sure you can retake it.

Try the best you can with it. You can even talk to your professor if you feel you can do better. He/she may be able to help you.

I'd say keep at it, I mean, It'd just make the time you've already spent there a bit of a waste of time if you left now!

depends...if u feel there is no way out drop it...if u feel u can pull it up keep it...

many times some courses are an uphill battle, and the effect getting a D or F on ur GPA is worse then not dropping it...its really all up to you
