I failed a class...now what? (Real Advice from a Professor)

Failing classes happens, but what we do next is very important, and students are often left in the dark on what they should do next. Today, I want to help you with this issue of failing classes in college or university so you know your options and how to proceed. I want to talk about the long-term impacts of failing a class and how that could impact jobs, graduate school, life, and your degree. I also want to talk about how we use failure to collect data and fix issues in the future. Don't worry: Dr. Maples has your back!
