Hey<\/p>\n
So I’ve just failed my midterm miserably for RSM 219- yes that’s intro to financial accounting. They say “intro” but more than 3\/4 of the class has taken accounting in high school already and it’s super UNFAIR to people like me. So this midterm was weighted like 30% and I failed it. However the previous midterm was 15% and I passed it *Phew*<\/strong>. My final exam in December is 35% so I’m “hoping” to pass that as well. *please say yes!*<\/p>\n Thanks \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n hey there,<\/p>\n if you’re asking whether a mark of 45% on a midterm that’s worth 30% would contribute 13.5% to your final mark, then: yes.<\/p>\n i haven’t been able to find anything to indicate otherwise, anyway. i couldn’t find anything that says a failed mark would automatically drop to 0, or anything horrible like that.<\/p>\n there’s nothing on the course outline for RSM219<\/a> to indicate it, and i’ve definitely never seen that in any classes i’ve taken, either.<\/p>\n you can talk to your instructor about it, but i think you’re safe.<\/p>\n however, if you’re worried about how well you’re doing in the class, it may be a good idea to talk to your college registrar<\/a> about the possibility of late withdrawing from the course<\/a>. just a thought.<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey So I’ve just failed my midterm miserably for RSM 219- yes that’s intro to financial accounting.
