I'm not completely sure yet but i think there is a good chance that i may totally fail my business calculus class. As in get an "F". Obviously that would be bad but if you look at my avatar, you will be able to see that there has been a lot going on at my school in the past month or so.
In my particular situation, i had 11 days off of school because of what happened. Those 11 days were supposed to have two tests and then the two weeks following were supposed to have two more and a paper due. Over three and half weeks, that isn't too rough. However, things didn't turn out like that and when we got back, for me all of those assignments were crammed into about a week and half. The problem was that this was unexpected, since during the 11 days off, there was no contact between the professors and the students.
Alright so i went into that week and half, and ended up doing quite well on all of the tests and assignments. However, it came at the cost of business calculus. In order to do well in classes i have to do well in (this is all in psychology courses), i had to get all of the free time i could, so i missed about a week of calculus lecture, homework assignments, and quizzes. Of course if i miss those, i probably wasn't going to do well on the latest test, which was yesterday, and i'm pretty sure i failed it badly. I'm still waiting for the results of that test and unless there is a massive curve or something, it is all pretty well over. I figure even if i get A's on the remaining assignments, i will struggle to even get a D in the class. I did have a mid range B in mid-feburary but that was devastated by a lot of unforeseen events.
My question is, given the circumstances, if i take that class next semester and do well, would graduate schools find this to be forgivable? If i come back and get a B or an A, would they ignore the F? If i had four A's and an F, which will probably happen, is all of this forgivable or is this bad?
