Easy TESU class?

What Dave said.

Then, you should consider how the grades you earn alter your GPA if this is important to you. a 1 credit class vs a 6 credit class matters a TON if you've only earned 3 previously graded credits. If you already have 100, they matter almost none.

What is your current TESU GPA and what is your target? And of course, I'll chime in with "why?" because that matters as well.

Thanks, Jennifer.

I only took one class in TESU, so my TESU GPA will be 2.7. This is an accounting class, which is my major. I don't really know why it would matter, I'm just worried that it would later down the road. Will an employer ask for my graduating GPA? Will a grad school? I don't know how these things work, which is why I am asking.

My original plan was to re-take the accounting class, hold my breath and hope I do better this time around, along with one other "easy" class to boost my GPA. But now I'm wondering if I should just leave that class alone and take a nice six credit class to get my GPA higher.

Does my question make sense? What do you think?

So, I still don't know if you have other (pre-TESU) graded credits. I'm going to answer as if you don't. If you took a 6 credit course and earned an A, your new GPA would be 3.57
If you took a 1 credit course and earned an A, your new GPA would be 3.03 so either would get you up over 3, but keep in mind that the converse is also true. If you earned a B in either, your new GPAs would be 2.9 or 2.78 respectively- not at all worth the cost.

Again, it matters how your entire 120 credits are calculated, not just 1 class because of the impact it makes. The above math assumes a "whole" of only 9 or 4 credits- where one class moves the needle significantly. If we recalculated everything and your 2.7 GPA was based on an already nearly full 117 credit degree, you'd need 35 new credits at an A to move it up to 3.0
