<p>Son is in an elective he doesn’t like - considering doing pass/fail as deadline is 9/24. Think it may be too late as he probably will receive a quiz grade tomorrow - so the question is does it look bad to coop employers?</p>
<p>Also how common is it?</p>
<p>Coop employers don’t see your transcript, so they wouldn’t know. Don’t think it’s that common though, at least not at Northeastern, since most majors say pass/fail makes it not count for anything. That question is best addressed to his advisor though, who would be able to answer any questions about pass/fail. As for the quiz, it being graded doesn’t affect pass/fail (since the prof would have to figure out if he passed anyway) but the professor might have specific rules for his/her class. Not all professors let you take it pass/fail.</p>
