TAMUC General Studies (BGS CBE)

[bradm31]

I am not a strong writer, and I was able to finish capstone 1 and 2 for ORGL. You are going to have papers to write in several classes, no matter which major you pick. My wife had to write papers for the classes she took in BGS. The difference between my wife and I, is she is a strong writer and can just knock out the papers, while I have to really slow down to figure out how to put my thoughts on paper. I can fly through reading assignments and multiple choice or fill in the blank. My wife and I are definitely opposites when it comes to study skills and strengths and weaknesses in a class.

I suppose that is good to hear then. I am a strong writer as well, minus history. I failed every single History 2 paper pre-test. I am considering just failing the course and taking Hist 2 on sophia and transferring it in. Never struggled so much interpreting a prompt as I have in this history class lol.

If you can withdraw from the course then do so, then transfer in the credit. But don't fail it - a failure counts against you (and your GPA) even if you transfer in the requirement from an outside source.

I'll double check the drop date, I am in week 4 of 7 so I think it may have already passed.

If you can't drop it, push through it. Even a D is better than an F.  Maybe you can manage a C, as it would be just good enough to put it behind you and not knock your GPA down too much at all. I think you can do it!

The only bad thing about this program is you must get an 80 or above in the classes to pass. I did part of the post-test just now and so far am maintaining an A, somehow. I failed the pretest pretty badly in the writing, but post-test seems a bit easier.
