150 hours of my life I'll never get back

I just went to check my semester grades and I have a few issues. It turns out the design course I was enrolled in was an equivalent credit course. I haven’t quite clarified what that means, but so far it looks like I don’t get a grade in this class, nor does it count as credits toward my degree. Not good.
On the other hand, it turns out that we got failing to mediocre grades on at least 6 assignments. So… maybe I don’t want this grade counted.
I really don’t know what to do about this … assuming there was anything I could possibly do about it at this point anyway.
And I know the whole “there’s no I in team,” etc. etc.. But I can’t be expected to do 3 people’s work, nor would I expect that of my classmates. This was intended to be a 6-person group, but having more than one dud kind of detracts from the quality. Especially when the rest of the group is working on areas that take their full attention already. Admittedly, the easy sections shouldn’t have slipped past us in as poor quality as they were. But for goodness sakes.
I’m pissed. About the grade, about the credits, about the people… I can’t believe I put myself in a position where my educational future was dependent on these people. I’m not coming off of probation. And my other class suffered for this, continuing to help me not be off of probation.
Sigh.

Son of a bitch. I’m sorry Jane – that is a raw deal. Perhaps you can take some solace in the fact that even if you got screwed, your yahoo teammates will get the grade they deserve.
So, one class at a time from now on, right?

Oh, dude. No, the course was non-credit. No one got anything out of that. Even the professor was surprised. I’m pretty sure the course was listed under the wrong number.

Oh my gosh. That so sucks. They have classes you don’t get ANY credit for? Seriously? So at least it won’t hurt your gpa (well, other than taking time away from your other classes that DO count?)???

Yeah, it’s bizarre. I knew you could choose to take a course pass/fail or audit. But I didn’t know there were classes offered where that was all it was. What’s the point?
