Which class was it ? And what was that, like?
Yes, it is common for engineering students to repeat a class at some point in their academic career. Engineering courses can be challenging and the workload can be overwhelming, so it is not uncommon for students to struggle with a particular class and have to retake it.
No, repeating a class does not necessarily mean that a student is not capable of succeeding in the engineering field. It could simply mean that they need more time to fully understand the material or that they were overwhelmed with other courses and did not have enough time to dedicate to a particular class.
Repeating a class can have both positive and negative effects on an engineering major's GPA. If the student improves their grade in the repeated class, it can positively impact their overall GPA. However, if they receive a lower grade in the repeated class, it can lower their GPA.
It is not uncommon for engineering students to repeat core classes such as calculus, physics, or programming courses. These classes are fundamental to the engineering curriculum and can be particularly challenging for students.
Repeating a class may result in a delay in graduation, as the repeated class may not be offered during the desired semester. It can also be costly, as students may have to pay for the class again. However, it is important for students to prioritize understanding the material rather than rushing through and potentially struggling in future courses.
