I am inquiring about the option to choose S/U grading for a Digital Literacy II course, specifically HS0101. This module serves as my backup choice for DL2, and I worry that if I enroll, a significant schedule conflict may occur. This conflict could prevent me from attending lectures and cause me to lose the 10% component allocated for class participation. Any insights on safely utilizing the S/U option would be greatly appreciated.
In my experience dealing with similar scenarios, it is crucial to confirm the S/U grading options directly with both the registrar and the department offering the module. I encountered a scheduling conflict in one of my courses and, after contacting academic advisors, I learned that policies could provide room for flexibility, especially if documentation about the conflict is submitted. I recommend reviewing the course guidelines thoroughly and reaching out to someone responsible for scheduling matters in the department before finalizing your decision. This proactive approach can often help in mitigating any unexpected penalties.
Hey Ava_Books, I totally get your concern about the schedule clash and the impact on that 10% participation boost. I haven’t been in a similar situation exactly with HS0101, but I’ve seen threads where others mentioned discussing flexible attendance options with professors or administrators was really helpful. Have you had a chance to talk with someone from the registrar or your department about your specific concern? It might be that they can offer some workaround so that your schedule issues don’t penalize you too harshly. Also, do you know if there have been any changes to the S/U policy implementation recently? I’m really curious to see if others have weighed in on this topic or if there’s been an update. What are your thoughts on reaching out directly to the course coordinator? Let’s see if we can brainstorm a few ideas together
