Should I Drop This Course..

[Kochanie]

I tried looking for similar threats but was unsuccessful.

I decided to get some of my pre-req's done before next year gets very science intensive.

I have dropped a course for the past two quarters so I really don't want to...

But I hate this course. It's very scattered, new (bad reviews so far), and I frankly don't care for/understand lots of the reading...

The midterm/final scares me because it's linking all these scattered random ass articles together and more...

Should I drop it or should I stick to it? I HIGHLY doubt I will get anything above a B which I don't like because I need A's from now on.. Also, the amount of reading is truly impacting my Biology courses.

I might be able to get into a class that only meets once a week (so thankfully only met one time, but that's a big maybe since it's past the deadline).

Is it actually a pre-req? Do you need it? If not, and you feel like it will be a hindrance, you should drop. Drops (at my school, at least) don't show up on your transcript.

I have no qualms about dropping a course since those dont show on your transcript. Now if you're talking about withdrawing, as in 'W' that's a different story in which case I would say no.

No, it'll just look like I took one less course. It's only 1.5 weeks into the year and the drop deadline is Feb 14, but it's such a hindrance I rather do it now. Should I try to get into another class or let it be?

It's not a pre-req per say, 2 similar courses are needed to graduate (2 History classes)

Drop it and take it later. You will be fine.

depending on how many credits you're taking, you may want to try to replace the course with another one.

I just dropped it. Hopefully my dean allows me to add the other course (they only met once so hopefully it won't be a problem).
