Physical Chemistry: Should I Write Supplementary or Retake?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Students facing failure in Physical Chemistry must decide between writing a supplementary exam or retaking the course. A supplementary exam allows for a second chance to earn credit without delaying graduation, while retaking the course ensures a deeper understanding of the material. It is crucial to assess the reasons for failure and determine the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed. Ultimately, retaking the course may be essential for those pursuing a degree in Chemistry.

If I failed this courses should I write a supplementary in about 10 days or should I retake it and put myself behind a full year of studies in my program?

What is a supplementary? How would writing this supplementary improve your knowledge of Physical Chemistry? Failing the course means you have no academic course credit for the course. You should determine why you failed the course. Then, knowing this, review any skills and knowledge needed and then enroll in Physical Chemistry (a second time)/again. Being behind by one year may be necessary in order to earn your degree goal. If Chemistry is your major field of study, you might want to change major fields (but not necessarily).
