Bros, is failing a class in college all that bad?
I haven't failed one, but i've been on the edge of passing or failing before.
As a science major, should I be more cautious about my grades?

Because you already got accepted to whatever school you’re at and your GPA doesn’t matter anymore (unless you’re going to Med school or law school)

Stop worrying about your GPA and start worrying about networking and learning something that will actually get you a job upon graduation.

I'm a graduate student and borderline on failing a class. I need full marks on the exam (40%) and the final lab (10%) just to get a C+. Interestingly enough this is just a "grad elective" so I could not include the course and have a "4.0" but the transcript cumulative grad school GPA will be a 3.88. My advisor said I'll be on academic probation but not to worry since a 3.88 GPA is still fine. Basically my elective is in a grad major unrelated to mine and I thought I could get through the class just fine but I got my shit pushed in. It's a grad CS class and I'm a Physicist who has never used C/C++ (just python and MATLAB).

The class is in ML and whilst I can understand the material I lack experience for the practical labs. Threading in C on a Linux terminal and utilizing HPC on a very expensive machine is just not my forte. At least I'm learning a lot and my school has a retake for new grade policy but I doubt I'll bother retaking the class as it's an elective.

Why the hell is an ML course being done in C and not Python?

You're GPA matters a lot to go to higher education beyond bachelors.
And if you fail enough times your can be barred from taking that class.
you can even be kicked out of college for bad grades.
>>12790590
are you going to take the class again?

because there is no perfect overlap between grades and performance, so grade elitism is bullshit, only thing which matters is actual performance in the actual job and you won't take exams as a job .

You assholes I'm an embedded engineer. I spend all day every day writing C. C is 100% the wrong language to be doing ML in. But then you guys don't know what ML is even about so I'll cut this reply here.

The undergrad course is done using python and apache spark but the grad course is more theory and instead of using ML libraries we have to build functions that would be incorporated into a ML library if that makes any sense. The functions already exist in a standard ML library today but the course wants you to learn the theory and apply the concept from scratch. It's simple for someone with a C background but I'm learning about pthreads and I need to be able to communicate between every thread as well as main thread and use mutex locks and stuff. I'm sure this is trivial to anons who already took OS/optimization courses but I'm struggling with the pace.

Painting bachelors degree with minor in biology.

I switched majors three times in uni, pre-med->art->philosophy->art

No its not the end of the world, but it is a huge waste of money.

If yourr on your parents dime expect a good whoopin'.

Sounds like you neef to work a wageslave job like dunkin donuts for a year like I did in order to appreciate what it is youre trying to avoid with attaining a degree.

Yeah, I'm studying to be a massage therapist now because its actually something I'm interested in doing, something the world needs, something I'm good at, and I can get paid for.

Sounds like you haven't found your ikigai. I may be a brainlet compared to the rest of you math fucks but I'm semi proud to say I burnt through 8 years of STEM daddys money trying to get my bachelors degree (2010-2018) only to fuck up trying to teach English in Israel and then dunkin' donuts.
