Should I drop out of AP1...

Published

Hi, my lecture grade is an 83 and my lab grade is a 52. Have 4 more lecture exams and 1 more lab exam. I usually average 85 on my exams with a 76 on the first brings it to an 83. I wouldn't be worrying, but I bombed the first lab exam. Wasn't that I didn't know anything just didn't know how to use a microscope.

There is no extra credits and no grades dropped you get what you get.

There is one final, but instructor hasn't mentioned the weight of it yet. Says the grade can change your GPA for good or bad.

How many more tests do you have? How are these weighted? It should be on your syllabus.

I'd sit down and have a talk with your teacher about what it would take to get the grade you want, and make a decision based on that.

Good luck!

No syllabus just 9 to 10 exams. Unsure if the final is weighed heavier due to more questions. The total of all the exams is added up and divided that number is your grade for the class.

Stick it out. It looks like you have many more exams to go. So, study harder this time so you can at least get grades in 80s.

Stick it out! You haven't had many heavy things yet so your grade is likely to change if you do well. Just keep working hard in order to get high grades so they can push your current grade up.
