swagguElite:Smiles... Assuming everything goes well (which often doesn't) the F will affect his overall grade making even the A no better than at best C in that particular course. 1 Like |

edoairways:there's no certainty, it is entirely up to the student to determine the outcome. But what is certain is, he / she is getting a 2nd chance to do it. What the student does with the 2nd Chance is on the student and it's the student that will reap the reward or consequences |

It's not better pls. Let's say someone had F in a 3unit course. Then, it will be 0points (out of 15)/3. If he now rewrites it, say he got A, then the calculation will go thus...(0) + (15)/3=. What this means is that, 15 point is lost from the previous Cgpa calculation...i.e 0/3 in that course unit which will drastically suck your Cgpa for that semester... due to the increased number of load unit with nill points added. It's like adding 0 to the previous 4.5cgpa (e.g 135 + 0/ 30 +3) and dividing after 3load unit is added..(135/33)= 4.09. Rewriting it simply means you're registering for another course unit. If it was D or E, it means you either scored 6 or 3 out of the possible 15 (instead of 0 for F)... for that same semester. Getting F will have done the harm already just before rewriting it....if you like gets 5As, the first would still have affected the current Cgpa just before rewriting it. I hope you understand. The higher the credit load units, the more risky your Cgpa becomes. What the Op is insinuating is only feasible if the failed course can actually be removed... which is however not possible or when you get As in more of other courses you will be offering. Those who understand what it means to go around campuses with calculator just for the sake of CGPA can well, relate with my points. 2 Likes |

Hahjascho:But in the end,every course have their required credit unit you must take.. In the end you must offer all the courses which will be added together and divided by your total points irrespective of what you got every semester.. 1 Like |

Openbusiness3:Exactly,I've seen people fail courses because of missing scripts,laziness,complacency and a few other reasons that has nothing to do with IQ.. I've seen students get As and Bs after an F.. And in my school,the A has the same value.. 1 Like |

FamousMonk:Many yet get to rewrite the carry over multiple times. Never pray to get carry over in a challenging course. Every department have such courses. I have seen students repeat a course 3 times. |

FamousMonk: How is that possible Follow me carefully let me show you how and why having E is better. 1. Let's assume that you offered 5 3-credit units courses in your first semester and had 4As and 1F so we have: Course 1 = A = 15 points Course 2 = A = 15 points Course 3 = A = 15 points Course 4 = A = 15 points Course 5 = A = 0 points GPA for the semester = Summation of credit points /summation of credit units = 60/15 = 4.0GP CGPA = 4.0GP 2. You know have the opportunity to take that course you failed in addition to 5 second semester 3-credit units courses which you managed to hit all As let's calculate: Course 1 = A = 15 points Course 2 = A = 15 points Course 3 = A = 15 points Course 4 = A = 15 points Course 5 = A = 15 points Course 6 = A = 15 points GPA for the semester = 90/18 = 5.0GP Now CGPA (pay attention here!) = summation of all semester's credit points / all semester's credit units = 60+90/15+18= 150/33= 4.55GP! Now I did the calculation assuming it was E and ended up with 4.6GP (I'd love to show it here but no space). 1 Like |

FamousMonk:Hehehehe... Have you gone to your School Exams and Records to Confirm. In the End,if your Total Credit units was supposed to be 500 and Courses 100...it would be 500+(x) and 100+(x) because of Carryover(They never Over Look it). All what the Registry is After is that,you MUST pass all your Required Courses before Leaving. If it doesn't Affect overall CGPA, Academic Advicers will be Telling some students to Score F rather than D or E Trust me. It will be seen Like this; From what i said above Maybe the failed course is GNS 101... total courses will be 1.GNS 101=0 2.GNS 101=10 99. PHY 402=10 100.PHY 403=10 101.PHY 405=8 Like that,Like that..... |
