Failing a course,and thereby having a "carry-over" is one of the most harrowing experiences one can hav in the university (especially if it's a first time).
The first time I had a carry-over,I felt so devastated.I kinda knew I wuldnt do well in d course cos it was a practical exam and I didn't finish b4 the alloted time was up,but I didn't expect an "F",and wen d result came out,I was like: "what? Not even an "E"?",lol.I later re-wrote it and passed very very well sha;(ask anybody!)

My first, second and third carry-overs were my fault.. Too much club things, too much voltron arrangement, believing everyone in our Voltron-crew was like me, wicked lecturer (re-arranged the exam hall at the last minute ).

When I saw my results with F-s, I just buckled up in subsequent semesters and got good grades (graduated with 2.1). I knew it was my fault and was just disappointed in myself. It even gave me the opportunity of dropping stragglers from the crew.

Uhm...i wanna find out something about this carry-over.... when you retake the course, does your new grade improve your GPA?

Well,I'm not so sure about d authenticity of this (or whether it's d same system for all schools),but I think ur eventual grade for d course ur had to re-take wuld be an average of ur previous and present grade.thus,if u had,say,30 in a course,then make 70 after retaking it,ur official grade wuld be d average of 30 and 70,which wuld be "50%".

Ok.. Thanks
