Should I drop economics A2?

No. Some of the best writers/scientists/psychologists I have read, all began thier education with an economics qualification. Even though thier skills later developed into nothing to do with this subject, they all seem to have this background. So unless its making you seriously depressed or something, stick with it.

I would sure love some of those tips right now! =) well how to stay motivated at least...\n\nAnyways there's always the usual 'just try your best it will be over before you know it and afterwards you can relax.' =) i love this one thinking positive and of the moment after\n\nWhich you could tell students after they finish don't think too much about it what's done is done they should relax and enjoy a well earned break\n\nOther tips may include:\nIf you find yourself getting really stressed and nervous, literally take a break and just breathe in and out deeply til tou feel a bit more calm and then continue\n\nWith studying it really depends on the subject they are doing like in English I was told not to just study one text in detail as the exam may give you a question on the text you studied but you may not be able to answer it whereas in Economics where the course is broken up into topics it is better to study a few areas in great detail then a bit of everything.\n\nWorking together also helps. Tell students to try and study in groups as discussing work helps the speaker to reinforce their knowledge and provides the listener an opportunity to clarify their understanding. \n\nGroup studying needs to balanced with studying on your own too, though as sometimes group studying turns out to be a big social event with little studying done. Students will also be working by themselves in the exams too; friends won't be helping.\n\nAlso reassure them it's not the end of the world if things don't turn out how they would've liked. There are many paths to take in life, many of those crossing over so there are many ways to achieve something you want\n \nWell there are many more points which you probably have already but hope i've helped in some way =)

I'm assuming that you're majoring in either journalism or sport, but surely if you major in one of those, you could minor in the other one.\n\nAside from that, I think that many journalists these days are missing a very basic understanding of Economics.  It wouldn't be an easy minor, but it might be helpful, especially if you're going to be reporting on contract negotiations or the building of sports stadiums.  It helps if you can report on the issues intelligently.  That's something that very few reporters can handle these days.  If you're at a big school, you may even find a course in the Economics of Sports, which would fit in well with your goals.  Best of luck.

I would probably drop the class if the best I could hope for was a C and I needed a B average to transfer with.  Of course, if you already have a gpa that is significantly above 3.0 you might be able to handle the C without it affecting your gpa too much.  Whether you can manage a 95% on the final might well depend on how difficult the class is..and I would venture to say that if you are struggling with it now..the chances are that you won't manage the 95%.  Look at it this way, the best you can possibly hope to achieve is a C in this class...and it is likely that you won't get it.  I assume that this is not the only class you are taking so therefore you will have other finals to worry about too. Studying for this course enough to get the C might well impact your other courses too.\n\nWill the C hurt you more than just dropping the class...that would specifically depend on what your gpa is now..as i said before if it is well above 3.0 it should not have much of an effect, but if it is right at 3.0 or below, then a C certainly will have a negative impact on it....you would require a B to retain a 3.0 gpa and an A to bring it up..\n\nSo theoretically speaking..your best chances probably lie with dropping the course...

Athabasca is the first choice for everyone in my school that fails a course and needs a guaranteed A with little to no effort.  From what I hear, It is extremely easy to get an A in the courses that they offer, and while most people were content with the mark that they received they will easily admit that they learned very little.  I know people that took statistics, economics or business related courses from athabasca.  So yeah, take courses there if you are looking to boost your average, but if you care about anything other then just marks, STAY AWAY!

I don't know if your school offers this, but I would recommend Law & Economics. It is a nice course, mostly applied microeconomics, so a lot of fun. Take a look at this syllabus:\nhttp://econweb.rutgers.edu/mannige/

Some people have a harder time studying than others.  Be the best student you can be.  With practice you will become what you want to become.  You might have to give up some of your free time but it will be worth it.  Don't let the students that wiz through stuff get to you.  Also think about changing your major, is Agricultural Economics what you want to spend your life doing?  If it is, fine, work a little harder to get it.  If not find something you want to do.  College is a place to grow an prepare for the future.

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

This may sound like I'm joking, but have you tried to look and act as pitifully pathetic as possible? You can lie, but only within reason, because if the prof. knows where/how to contact whoever might know the truth, he/she might find out and give you an even lower grade. Also, it's just a B. Unless you're someone who has a very good reason to worry too much about things that are likely to turn out okay anyway, you should take it easy. And I know what you are going through and worse, so don't take this answer lightly.

Quite possibly, NO. This will depend a bit on what your University and State require as "good academic standing". Generally speaking they are likely to require a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale or better. If you do not meet that, you may still be able to have temporary eligibility on a probationary level. Meaning, you will be placed on academic probation until you reach 2.0 or better. During that time if you continue to slip, you will likely lose all eligibility. \n\nContact your financial aid office for specifics for your location. Meanwhile, you should start taking a good look at yourself and your study habits that have brought you to this point. College life is great for having a good time, but eventually you have to come out the other side and make something of yourself.\n\nGood Luck

Absolutely! If you choose a major and minor that is in demand, or least one has a demands for success, it can help you beat the economy.   Blessings.

(I think I fixed the email thing...)\n\nI would go with Option #3. That is, you should probably leave out the information about changing your major. I say this for two reasons...\n\n(1) It's not really the basis for your appeal. Your letter should focus on the Satisfactory Academic Progress issues that led to the cancellation of your Financial Aid. You are best served by discussing (a) the [primarily personal] reasons for your bad grades/dropped classes and (b) how you plan to rectify any errors that you previously made.  \n\nWhile your plans to improve your academic performance are certainly relevant here, your major wasn't really at the crux of your SAP issues. Moreover, your change-of-major isn't even finalized -- and, when it is, it shouldn't have any bearing on your federal financial aid eligibility.\n\n(2) As you suggest, it is possible that your plans to change your major could be viewed negatively by the Appeals Committee.  Every school (every individual, in fact), will look at this a bit differently. There are certainly some people who see these changes as a tendency towards "indecision" (particularly since you are already a transfer student). Your school obviously have some qualms about these things, since they have a policy that allows only one change-of-major...\n\nRE: Option #1. I don't see it as lying to omit the information about your desire to get a PR degree.  Currently you *are* going for a BA in English... As far as Option #2 -- don't say *that* unless it's true.  (Even if it *is* true, I'm not sure they need to know of your plans for a second degree. Your aim should be to demonstrate your commitment to getting *a* degree.)\n\nIt's important to plan for the future but, in this case, focus on the task at hand.  Resolve your financial aid issues and then make your appeal to change your major.\n\nOne more thing occurred to me after I answered your last question: There's always a chance that someone on the Appeals Committee might harbor personal religious/spiritual and/or conservative beliefs that cause them to (covertly or overtly) pass judement on the personal choice that you made.  While I sincerely hope that they wouldn't hold your choices against you in deciding on your appeal...well... you might want to give a little thought to the types of people that might be on the Committee (if you go to a Catholic school, for example) and phrase your letter accordingly. I still don't think you should omit this information, but you might decide to downplay it a little.\n\nBest of luck!

If for no other reason, you should stop giving money for the failed courses. My dad explained to me on day one that he was happy to give me tuition money as long as I was "making the grade". . . but if my grades dropped enough, that was the end of the free money.\n\nSure enough, I tested him, failed classes, and he kept his word & cut off the money. It took me nearly 10 years to finish my undergraduate degree (aaack), because I had to work and pay for it all myself.\n\nStill, it's important to note that the only thing he cut off was the money. He still offerred me moral support, just no more tuition checks.\n\nI think you should have the same talk with your girl, AND STICK TO YOUR GUNS when she lets you down.

If you withdraw from the class, don't specify that you are withdrawing because you are failing. That would be better than taking the class and fail. Also if it seems that it is more of the subject than the professor is the reason why you aren't doing as well, you may want to take the course during the summer. Most college courses taught during the summer are easier.

It all depends on what you want to do with your career.  If you are interested in immediate employment after graduation, finance is a better degree than economics.  If you are interested in pursuing an advanced degree and/or teaching/research, then economics is a good area.  If you are still struggling with your career direction, visit with a guidance counselor or career counselor on campus.\n\nBest of luck!

I went to summer school and took a full course load ( all periods ). This let me graduate a year earlier so I could get hammered by my grades in freshman college. If you have the correct study habits, go for it. If you don't, take the time to learn them in high school where it doesn't cost anything.
