i’ll try and keep this short. im taking an online class, and heres the circumstances: -teachers directions/questions for assignments make no sense a lot of times -teacher says ‘do it this way’ then contradicts herself by correcting you and telling you to do it the opposite way -I have asked for help and clarification on something EIGHT (8) times and have not gotten an answer -the assignments are worth 20 points, but apparently its an all or nothing kinda deal and there is no partial credit, even for putting in effort. -requests for help on assignments go unanswered -teachers powerpoint notes contradict the text book -i’ve either failed or come close to failing every assignment and the 1 test we had so far so, i want to resign the class. I have already been accepted into another school for next fall, and the credits i would get in this class wouldn’t transfer nor would I even need them. so am i better off resigning the class or just hacking my way though it and taking an F? ---

1 question, do you plan on going to grad school? if yes - consider staying with it, although usually one R on your transcript isn’t going to sway their decision to let you in or not. if no - fuckin resign that shit. it won’t count to your GPA and it won’t matter at all if theres an R on your transcript in that case. ---

Usually grad schools don’t mind 3 or fewer R’s. I’ve dropped two classes. This was at NCCC. I applied to Rochester, Syracuse Cornell and UB. They all accepted me, so R’s don’t look too bad depending on what the courses are. ---

[/quote] R’s look really bad if theres a trend in them. like 1 a semester. transferring won’t really be too much of a problem, but grad school will not like that at all. ---

It really depends on the classes. The schools I applied to (well, the ones other than UB) were all pretty selective. ---

Depends on the class being dropped. IF you don’t like the class and the prof is an idiot, drop it. Don’t regret staying in April. ---

R\>\>\>F I had 3 or 4 R’s in undergrad (the semester I decided I didn’t want to continue engineering and had a bunch of terrible classes). Even with those, I got into the MBA program with no ‘real world’ work experience and and only a 3.2 overall gpa. I did quite well on the GMATs but still :gotme: R means you decided that the class wasnt for you. F means you’re a retard. edit: R’s might be viewed differently if they are classes in your planned graduation major and/or you retake them. ---

well, the class is a basic HTML programming class, and im transfering schools to be a Criminal Justice major, so i dont really see how that would look bad. If i need some wort of computer/tech credits, I have taken a couple other classes that should fulfill that. ---

Be like me. Get a .02 in your last semester then join the army. or dont, either way, good luck. Oh, and its better to just resign it if your getting an f anyway. Fucked if you do, fucked if you don’t, but an R is the lesser of 2 evils.
