uh, little more information needed. what grade are you in, which Spanish it is, what you think the problem is...etc.

but obviously, if you work hard enough your grade will go up. just by doing all of your homework you might be able to pull out a C or something. if you're failing you must not be doing the things you need to do to meet the bare minimum.

if you want to be cynical, if you already have an F...it doesn't get much worse than that.

It is still possible but it will be hard, especially with a course that builds on foundation like Spanish. Depends on how much your final is worth, but generally you are looking at finishing with a C max. It isn't ideal, but it isn't going to kill you unless you're looking at tip top schools.

I would think that any college besides a community college would look down on an F.


USF has a avg GPA of 3.47.

but i mean if i finish the year with a higher grade will that be good? like for example if i can get it up to at least a c or b by winter break and keep that and the rest of my grades up all year, would that be good enough for this year?
