Even With Mid-Semester Flunks. Your Case May Not Be Hopeless
When a student makes straight D's and F's at mid-semmeter, he may consider his case hopeless, but the University doesn't.
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, who, with his staff of advisers, is helping freshmen and sophomores out of "scholastic difficulties," said that "flunks can be salvaged by heeding advice given in counselling sessions.
"When a student is flunking all his courses at mid-semester, we try to help him bring his marks to passing by recommending better study methods," Dean Ulmer said.
A typical suggestion of advisers to the failing student is "Reduce your program by dropping a course, or review the course in your spare time over the material you have covered."
Some 2,760 freshmen and sophomores are now seeing advisers to ascertain their mid-semester grade status. If they are falling in more than 40 per cent of their courses, they are put on probation, under regulations set up by the College. "K.U. is one of the few schools of its size in the country that provides a counseling service at mid-se semester," Dean Ulmer observed. "Most schools simply let the student solve his own problems."
If that doesn't work, the student usually has to drop out of school, but the University does not require withdrawal until the semester's end. Some students occasionally ask the College office not to send their grades home to parents. In the case
of a 35-year-old man, for example, it would be a little silly to send his grades to his parents, Dean Ulmer explained.
The "flunk rate" of freshmen and sophomores is much higher than that of juniors and seniors, he said.
"The fact that a student has junior or senior standing indicates that poorer students have been weeded out. As a rule, junior-senior grades are higher than those of underclassmen," the dean pointed out.
Married veterans with low marks, in many cases, may rest easily for a while. Those who listed their parents' address on registration cards don't have to worry about their wives finding out the "bad news" immediately. Grades will go to their parents first.
One reason given for low grades is often the complaint that "competition is so much stiffer now," Dean Ulmer said.
"Many freshmen haven't yet found how much study is needed in college, and our advisers try to help them with suggestions on note-taking and planning study time more
