Hey guys,
So I am being falsely accused of cheating in an exam and I am currently waiting to go through the process from the Provost's office. The instructor gave me a 0 on the exam, making it near impossible for me to get anything higher than B regardless of how I do in the next two exams. However, I talked to my advisor and she suggested that I either withdraw from the course or stick in and shoot for a C-, so I can retake it later and replace my grade. So these are my options:
1. Take a W (withdraw) and retake the course later.
2. Take a F (withdraw) and retake the course later.
3. Intentionally get a C- and retake the course later.
Now here's the catch: If I choose to withdraw, the professor can either give me a W or an F. Because I'm not on good terms with him, it's more likely that he'll give me an F than a W.
So, what do you guys think? Should I take the F (W, if I get lucky) and retake the course? Or should I shoot for a C- and retake the course? No matter what the decision of the Provost is, his zero on my exam will stand.
Thank you,
DemenJ
