"theaccountingmajor" Have you ever taken a class pass/fail?

Yes.

"theaccountingmajor" How was your experience with it?

I passed.

Yeah, I took one on the Philosophy of European Cinema but it had nothing to do with my major and it was just out of a personal appreciation for the topic, I would have gotten an A if it was graded.

 

I took one 2nd semester senior year. I was a double major in chem e/applied math and needed one more humanities course to pass. Took a 100-level poli-sci class.

Professor got personally upset that I barely went to class. Bitch, I have better things to do at 9 AM. Did fine on the exams/papers, but he didn't give me any participation credit (which was like 20% of the grade) and refused to round me from a 69 to a 70. Irony is if I hadn't taken it Pass/Fail, the 69 would have been good enough to get credit.

Ended up having to take a fucking summer school course while I started work out of college to 'graduate'. I did miss a majority of the classes because I was drinking all the time, but even 1-2 classes worth of participation would have pushed me over the edge. And I had missed at least 3 classes due to interviews. Man I hate that guy, but learned from it to never let yourself get put in that type of position.

What a butthead. I'd go pay him a visit and let him know his little shit self and class aren't bigger than real life.

 

Yes I did. And I passed and didn't study at all for it. I did it in senior year when it was relatively busier. Of course it was an elective class.

 

They wont know unless you tell them. They will only read your transcript after giving you an offer, at which point it no longer matters (as long as you accurately report your GPA).
