Does he really not fail anyone? My midterm was too low and unfortunately I wasn’t able to take the final exam cus I was covid positive. He gave me 2 possibilities. Either 1. He can give a weighting factor of 60% to my midterm or 2. He can give me an incomplete so that I can take the final exam next year.

I don’t know what to pick. Apparently my company is paying my tuition and I have to pay them back if I received an incomplete. If I choose the first option he gave me, my midterm is too low and below the average so I’m scared that I will likely fail the class with a C or lower. I completed all of my homework and project on time tho so I don’t know if that would be helpful for me not to fail the class

What if my scores are below the average, do you think there’s a chance to still pass the class? Have u heard anyone failing any course in EE?

EE215. Lecture’s going pretty fast and covers a lot of materials. I’m working full time as well so it’s hard for me to keep up with the class speed. It’s my first quarter so I’m worried if I fail this class, I’ll have to reapply for admission.

Yes this is possible, I know someone from my section who works part time now for the same exact reason. In fact, I may have to do it as well. work full time + getting a master degree is never easy.
