Classes that is required for my major but really has nothing to do with it (i.e. stats classes on a crim major)
For the most part, no since I actually want/need to learn this stuff on my own.
This came up in a discussion, so out of curiosity I pose it to you lovely cKers:
If you had the option, would you pay to improve your grade in school? If so, how much? And to which GPA/percentage?
On some classes only.

I wouldn't. I'm in my second year of college and I'm doing just fine. In college you need the money for other things. If my grades were bad I would be more inclined to consider it, depending on how much money and how many people knew.
Ya, people do this. it's called going to a private school! the GPAs there are higher than at public schools
But no I wouldn't. If someone big caught on it, the school would lose accreditation and my degree would be worthless
Somewhat related, I've also hated that some schools have weighted grades in high school for AP classes. I think if my school did that i would have over 100. Not meaning to sound braggy btw
Nah. I slacked off and still maintained ~3.7. My older brother pretty much did my advance math homework cause I'm beyond awful outside of basic math.
I would never let my grades slip though, so if I got to the point where I had to pay to get my grades up I really need to have my brain examined.
or be really sick, even then i would get teachers to feel bad for me and pass me
Unrelated, hahaha, BUT! Speaking as someone who works in the field, I regret to inform you that stats classes are actually super applicable to crim.Originally Posted by Garp
Not saying I love stats. I definitely don't. But it's definitely worth knowing, unfortunately.
@ Original Question...
I don't think I would, but I also never really struggled in school. I enjoyed learning, and I have a photographic memory, so coursework was never difficult for me.
I can't speak from any other perspective than the one I have now, perhaps it'd be a different story for the people who work really, really hard and still just don't do well, whether from test anxiety or crap teachers/professors, etc.

LOL oh good, phew.
I was like oh no, dear god, they're going to be so disappointed when they learn stats doesn't end after college...
*sob*

I'd consider it depending on what I want to do for grad schools and stuff. Thre's a lot of bullshit involved there anyway, so I might as well play/pay along... but I don't really know which path I'm taking next.
If it was just for me...there wouldn't be a point because I'd feel too guilty like I hadn't earned it.
