So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes.
Have you ever had to retake a prerequisite in order to better understand a subject?
Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn’t no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn’t come on any of the test days.
I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they’re not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.
