I am failing a class in my major (Phy Sci), and I talked to the professor today and he says there's nothing he can do for me. He says it's probably best if I drop the course (and get a "W" on my transcript) and retake it next year.
Problem is, the course is part of a sequence and this course won't be offered again until next spring. Which means I would have to stay in college at least an extra quarter.
If I want to graduate with the rest of my class, however, I can switch to a different science major - since some of the Phy Sci upper div classes I've taken can count for those requirements. I actually really dislike Phy Sci, and I haven't been doing well in most of the upper divs. I think I picked a wrong major for me, to be honest.
What are your thoughts? Would a "W" on an upper div major course look bad? Would schools think less of me for switching to a different major?
