I'm cooked in a unit I'm repeating. Would it be better to withdraw now after census or just see it through to the end.
I'm a part time student so I only do 2 units a semester. (So being a part time mature age student, I have lots of stuff especially with my family and work that I have to fit around uni)
Last year in semester 1 I failed both my units, PHY20004 (Optics, Relativity, and Subatomic Physics) and MTH20014 (Matrices, Vector Calculus, and Complex Analysis)
I'm repeating them in this semester. Thought I was managing it, but then on my first midterm in MTH20014 (which comprises of only like 3 questions, with various points given for the working out.) there was 1 question that I hadn't prepared for and I didn't even know how to answer it, and of course because I didn't get full marks on the other questions, I only ended up getting a 25% on my first mid term.
I had a bit of a break down after that, missed a few classes and fell further behind, second midterm is happening today and I just, can't see myself getting anything better than 25%.
While I know I'm gonna pass PHY20004 (unless I stumble at the final exam again, which I will try really hard not to) I can't see how I can catch up with MTH20014, even if I get a passing grade on the final I'll have to get a super high score to pass.
Would it be better to withdraw now and put all my focus on the remaining unit and try again next year, or see it through to the bitter end and try to get as much knowledge as I can to reapply next year.
Third times the charm, as they say.
