phl655 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I would talk to the instructor and make sure that you are really unable to do the work properly before dropping the class. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 You didn't say how many other classes you might be taking at the time, or what type of class is stressing you out. Link to comment
Wet Knight Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It may not be your fault. !! Link to comment
amp501 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 You're a grad student, so you're working on your masters. How many hours are you taking? Are you working at the same time? Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Lot's of good follow up questions. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Do speak with the educator and if there is one, also a school counselor. You need expert guidance here if you are to find happiness at the conclusion of things and they have seen more of this than you have If the course is an absolute to get what you want and it has to be done now, you have to knuckle down and handle it or delay your education until you can handle it. Then again it may be a sign that you're not on the right path. In that case the soner you know this the sooner you can correct it. Link to comment
WetDad Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi Wakko, A degree in French? By this point in your life you must have some ideas about your career. Where does this schooling fit in to the picture? Have you had any interesting internships yet? I'm wondering about the job market for you and the value of a post grad degree in something so specialized. Link to comment

WakkoWannaBe Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks David. That comment spoke to my situation really well. I just dropped the class and I'm already feeling a bit better off. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah there was a little voice in my head that said "go talk to him!" But that was a scary idea to me. Link to comment
