i’m a first year commerce student and i’m doing horrible in calc right now.. its
the night before test 2 and i’m freaking out cuz i don’t know anything.. i was
wondering if its possible to drop calc and take it again in 2nd year..
otherwise my only other option is the reprise program – any thoughts regarding
that? any help is much appreciated, thanks.
Commerce program means Economic courses. Economic courses means calculus is mandatory. So, I give you three options:
- take the course in the summer ? it was offered last year in the 2007 calendar, and you?ll only be focusing on the one course.
- do the reprise program – but you?re only eligible if you?re actually failing right now?
- do it next year
You could do the course in your second year, but that would mean that you wouldn?t be able to do any of the Economic courses until your third year ? and then they?d all be concentrated and I don?t think you?d want that, especially if you?re freaking out about the math component so early on in your University career. But, if you only complete 4.0 courses this year, then you may not be able to pass go or collect $2 (I play Monopoly Jr., thank you very much) ? hence, losing your place in the program.
If you decide to do the reprise program, don?t drop out of your Y course right now ? wait until you?re actually in the program so that you don?t get thrown into a metaphorical wood chipper. I don?t see anything wrong with taking the Reprise Program either, if you?re worried about a ?stigma?. I?d worry about not addressing your issue and then being the lame drop out kid later on. I know a few of those? oh those guys.
On a final note, I heavily suggest that you should speak with your registrar. You could also go to the Commerce Office, but I would assume that they might just tell you the same thing. I don?t actually know your academic standing and can?t access your grades on CCNet and can?t actually gauge whether or not you?re in too deep. And really, the only one who should ever be in too deep is Avril Lavigne.
