How do employers look at college performance?

1
If a college student were to fail a class and retake it and get a better grade, do employers look at that as academic failure because of the F? I am currently majoring in computer technology. The class I’m not doing well in, is actually an elective and does not pertain to my major. I am currently in a junior college and later I’m planning to transfer to a four year school. If I don’t make it through the class and have to take it over, would that mess up my college career? I could really use some good advice.

One of my instructors did say that “employers actually prefer to hire people with a C average because the student worked harder for the grade, therefore employers look at A students as not hard workers.” Is this true?

drop a class before you get an F because even though they replace the points for the class they still leave the f up and for the time being your GPA will drop significantly. if you withdraw all it says is that you withdrew which looks better then an F. also most employers don’t see your transcript all they see is the diploma
