No fails :D

Actually, my marks are getting better as things go along.

This is probably not comforting to people.

Yeah but only assessments (not entire subjects) in first year first semester, was too lazy to do better. So I took a year off after that... and haven't failed anything since then :)

Yes (but it was on a B.S. technicality which I successfully appealed, though it took the med fac about a year to get back to me. And I hear they spent > $ 1 Mil revamping their admin structure for the new course? Fail).

^^lol I always do that, especially when the panic really peaks, i.e. around two days before the relevant exam. But three of my subjects this semester I have to pass all end of sem exams to pass the course (sucky I know) so that's the end of the issue for me.

sorry for the dumb question, but is this poll for failed subjects, or simply failed assessments?

cos i think almost everyone fails an assessment at some stage through uni, but the number of people who fail subjects would be a more meaningful poll.

I have failed a class test before ><" I have yet to fail a subject but i'm still first year so i have time =P

It seems quite common to fail one at some point though.

I haven't failed an assessment yet, however the one I handed in today is pretty guaranteed to fail...it was overdue...whoops.

and you should assess whether uni is the right place for yourself (assuming you are attending uni)

alice, though you have failed, many people fail. but yes do assess whether science or whether uni is suitable for you.

Thanks for the advice but I know that i'm fully capable of doing science, I just didn't really commit myself to the work in the beginning. Plus Chem and Maths aren't my strongest points (i'm doing a zoology major).
