Is there anyway I can pass Finite?

A C- would probably hurt your gpa quite a bit. Could you drop it, avoid the stress, and make it up somehow. How many credits are you taking. Would it affect your full time status if you dropped? It is too late to add any classes, I think, except for maybe some HPER O one-credit courses which first meet in April because they have an outdoors component.

If you dropped, you might take finite at Ivy Tech some fall or spring semester, get a C in it there, and transfer the credit to IU. Much easier at Ivy Tech. Finite is quirky and difficult for many smart people, so I wouldn’t take it personally not doing well in the class. S has a top ten percent gpa at Kelley after Icore, but had an F in finite after the first test and had to drop it. He probably wouldn’t even have got into Kelley if it depended on getting a B in finite.

I know IU won’t accept transfer credit for finite math from any cc’s in California. Have you considered calculus to meet the School of Journalism math requirement. Here is a class at Moorpark College offered in summer: MATH M16A 0 3.00 Applied Calculus I Moorpark College JUN 20, 2011-JUL 14, 2011 MTWR 2:00pm- 5:15pm AC 307 Instructor(s): Mahyad Z. Rahnamaie. This class will transfer to IU as M119, per the credit transfer website. It is like a calculus for social science majors. It only meets four weeks. Here is the teacher ratemyprofessor rating

You have three more years to meet the math requirement, and I might not damage my gpa if I still had other options.
