answer:How do you feel about this workload? How many other classes are you taking? I would ask those questions first, and be honest about what you can or cannot handle. If it were me, I would take the pass/fail option only to ease SOME of the stress. I wouldn’t choose pass/fail so I could have a reason to not try as hard as if I were taking the class for a letter grade. Reason being, I would like to do well on the exam and get college credit for it. Are you a senior?
