sidneysamson Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi--so I was really pissed about one of my grades last semester (B+...missed an A by ONE QUESTION) and I'm concerned because this was in my area of focus. Now I've heard grades don't matter in PhD programs. But at the same time, I feel like I should have an A in this class if I'm doing research in the field. I'm thinking about retaking this class in my fourth or fifth year when I'm done with all my other courses--what do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 So very not worth it. Granted, I have no idea what your field is, but I can't imagine this being worthwhile in any field. You don't do well in research because you have an A in a related class. You do well in research by doing well in research, and in the end that's all anyone will care about.

sidneysamson Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Statistics. I figure I'll just ace the second semester of the course anyway and it will all average out to an A-. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
