A student faced a serious issue regarding a statistics exam scheduled for Saturday, which conflicted with an electronics exam. The professor had previously sent an email allowing students with scheduling conflicts to take a makeup exam on Tuesday, but the student did not receive this email until after the Saturday exam. Despite having communicated their intention to take the makeup exam, the professor denied the request due to a lack of specific justification in the initial email. The student expressed frustration over the professor's late communication and the potential impact on their final grade. The discussion emphasized the importance of clear communication and documentation in resolving academic disputes.

Well, out of nowhere, he shows up today *right before the exam* and hands them out. He has no list of names, he doesn’t even care. He just said 'this is for the people who had the electronic exam or religious reasons, right?"

Then he gave out the test and kept walking away for 10 mins at a time. One guy finished and wanted to leave to his next exam, but was waiting around for him to get back to turn in his test. He got tired of waiting and shoved the test under the teacher’s door. :rolleyes:

All I needed was a 77% to get an A. I think I easily achieved that or higher.

Oh, well that class is done. I SPANKED that test like a newborn baby.

good that everything has gone well. I'm not sure how it is with colleges, but 77% is quite low, get at least a 90 :P

A 90 is rather pathetic. :rolleyes:

Oh well, I got a 92.5% in that class overall.

Im just glad that it is OVER.

That is the first class I ever had to read a textbook cover to cover. It sucked on ice.

Yeah A's are rather pathetic :rolleyes:

In almost all my classes I read the textbook cover to cover!

Really? You must have small textbooks.

I should not say cover to cover. I should say that I read all the required sections for the particular class. I did read my linear text cover to cover, but it was a small text (less than 300 pages).
