Grades

stupid question but I was in fpf last year and the grades I got were not the best of grades, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to either raise my gpa by doing the classes again or just having those classes from the entire semester not count or is there some other way that can help me?

@j31: English is taken on main campus with the rest of the Cal students. So even if you wait till next semester, you will still be taking the same course. HOWEVER, being a part fot he main campus, you will have more selections/choices. I don't know how good you are in each subject matters, so I won't comment which is easier[and I am also an incoming FPF, so I really don't know. ^.^]

@stickkiller: I read somewhere that unless you recieved a D or lower [or was it C?], you shouldn't retake the course. Now I am certain that FPF scores is shown on the transcript, but it's not part of the official GPA. So...your choice?

@HelloAll: What's hard for others might not be hard for you. Some people absolutely love astronomy and will do well in it [hehe. ^.^] while others just couldn't grasp it. It varies from individuals to individuals. Personally, put me in the most basic music class and I can still pull off a F. >.<

I remember reading that they do count toward the UC GPA (which is why they told me not to slack off thinking it wouldn't).

FPF grades are definitely on your transcript and count towards your UC GPA.

Ah, ok, Thanks. When I was at CalSO I Heard November 5th. Another 3 weeks doesn't seem too long, but the earlier, the better, that's for reals.
