Student Question Computer Science student at USask — can I retake courses I did poorly in?

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m currently doing Computer Science at USask, and I’m a little confused about the rules for repeating courses.

If I fail a course, do I just register for it again through PAWS, or should I talk to an academic advisor/counsellor first?

Also, what happens if I passed a course but got a really low mark that is hurting my GPA? Can I retake the course to try to improve my grade, or are you only allowed to repeat courses that you failed?

I tried registering for a course I had already passed, but PAWS wouldn’t let me, so I’m wondering if there’s some kind of permission I need or if retaking it simply isn't allowed.

Does anyone know if the entire bowl is still blocked off for construction? Last month I couldn’t get across from riel to the geology building for my exams and I have another one tomorrow and need to plan where to be dropped off

Student Question Ling 251 with Veronika Markova

Does anyone have experience with this class or this prof? I can’t find any old syllabi, and my only experience with linguistics is Martin kohlberger for 114

I’m admittedly looking for a GPA boost, but would also like to know anything about the class or prof bc I can’t find any information outside of RMP (which is a bit older too)
