They are probably your best option for learning. The last day to drop the course without grade determination is Wednesday, February 2. If you decide to drop the course after this date and are failing, you will receive a WF for the course. Please do not embarrass yourself by asking for special consideration, you will not get it. If you wait until the last minute to do your problems sets or fail to work regularly, even if there is not a problem set due for that week, you probably won t do well in this course.
Some students wait until the last minute and copy answers from other students who did do the work.
During the exams those students who did not work consistently normally fail the exam and consequently fail the course. This course tends to have a snowball effect. If you fall behind and plan to go back and recover later, it will only get worse.
