Failing a class in college
    #19188111 - 11/25/13 05:56 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Does failing 1 class fuck me over? I was five minutes late for a test today and wasn't allowed to take the test, so I'm going to fail. Drop date has passed so I don't know what to do.

it's a basic course if that makes a difference. Any advice? I tried reasoning with the bitch but he wouldn't hear it.

Depends. If your GPA drops too low for too long you could get put on academic probation (they give you a bunch of extra lame hoops to jump through just to register for classes etc) I got to learn that the hard way while trying to register for next semester, all because of classes I dropped out of 5 years ago :facepalm:

Re. Take. The. Class.  Maybe talk to the dept head and plead your case that you showed up for the exam but the prof wouldn't let you take it?

People will bash you for it, but I'm sure it happens to like 60% of the people who step foot on campus.

Not much I can say besides prepare to work your ass off and work your ass off to get out of that school with a 3.0

Tell him blacks average a B and rarely get A's and then tell him blacks are hated by everyone else just as themselves for ending up in prison and attacking whites so much. If he gets mad tell him that's because your ancestor's enslaved his people and all the smart ones were bred out of existence for strong ones. Then say you'll be spending time in a poor neighborhood but make it out because you have work ethic and don't sit around on the phone all day at work.

If you get Aid. I hope you did real well in the rest of the classes drop below a 2.0 and you are done.

Taking 15 credits getting a 3.5 or higher gpa.

Wow, that sucks major balls.

I go to a pretty prestigious University, it's ranked one of the highest in the world, and even with such a reputation they're lenient as FUCK when it comes to missing tests. My friend SLEPT IN through his test and they let him write a make up test the next day.

It's RETARDED how they didn't let you write the test because you were 5 minutes late. You should DEFINITELY complain. At my University, and other sane schools of education, if you are late you are still allowed to write the test but just aren't given extra time. That's absolute bullshit that you had to go through, no two ways about it.

My university has this concept called a "late withdrawal", your's might have it too. You can only do it for a limited number of courses but it's basically an extension to the drop date. Instead of a failing mark, you'll receive a "late withdrawal" status instead so it won't effect your total GPA.

Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart's in it.

You're an idiot. It's 5 minutes for a basic course in college. Not allowing someone to test for being slightly late is retarded. This isn't a serious matter, nothing bad would have happened, nobody would have been hurt if I was allowed to test.

Please school me on how to be a man koolaid. With all your posts I'm sure you have life figure out

Shut up man. Being late by 5 minutes for anything is completely forgivable no matter the situation, unless you're an emergency doctor or something. There are a million forces that are beyond your control.....

I never agreed to be on time. And I even had a legitimate reason for being late today. I left twice as early as usual because of weather and I was still a little late.

he's paying for that class though

people go to the bathroom during test don't see why he can't come in a little late

unless it was some like huge room where you're expected to show up and they hold of the test 15minutes anyway..

Even if you take a W you still have to retake that class hope its the same teacher and he fails you outright.

Trade school classes they lock the door in some classes.

So many children wasting time and money.

Now that's being a Dick.

I'm currently unemployed :lol:

For every job I've ever had showing up five minutes late was usually a "Hey, you're late, don't do it again" if I did it without calling ahead or something. Almost everyone I know or have interacted with is the same way. Many of the extreme deadlines that colleges put on people are actually the exception and not the rule. I understand why they do it, but using the pretense of "that's how the real world works" is usually bullshit more often than not. Missing a deadline by five minutes is usually not the end of the world.

In high school they tell you "this won't fly in college", except they're usually wrong. In college they tell you "this won't fly in the real world" except they're usually wrong.

I find that to be even less true of people with careers than with jobs.

I'm not saying it NEVER happens, but when people say "that's the way the world works" they're flat out wrong. In some instances that's the way the world works. Life is, surprisingly, not so black and white.

I'm fairly sure you already know the answer to that and are simply trying to discredit me because I myself do not have a career. However I know plenty of people that do and every job I've ever had involved working with people who had careers. My parents had careers. My friend's parents. My parent's friends. My friends. My siblings. My friend's siblings. So on and so forth.

so based on what other people told you, it works like that.

and then based on what OTHER people told you, it works like this.


so again, what is your experience based on. anecdotes?
im not seeing why your friends and family are more reliable than a college professor

:shrug:

if you agree to show up at a certain time, and you dont uphold that. then what the fuck do you expect?

Because most people are reasonable human beings and realize the world doesn't revolve around themselves. I know it's hard to believe sometimes, but people really are like that. If you're not chronically late people are usually forgiving.

k00laid: It's my experience along with plenty of other people's experience. What else should I base my beliefs of the world on? For every college professor I had that wouldn't let you take a test for showing up five minutes late I had multiple others who didn't give a fuck.

I haven't had a career yet, so until I do and can add personal experience in (which is still only a single career compared to the countless other careers people have) I will go on what I have heard and experienced for others. Not to mention I already said I worked with people who had careers. When they showed up five minutes late their supervisor (who was also my supervisor) treated them exactly the same as they treated me. The only difference was they were salaried and I was hourly.

I would expect five minutes less time to complete the test and perhaps a slightly lower score as a result.

let's just assume that's true.

does that give you a reason to bitch and moan about failing a class cuz you didnt show up on time?

Nope but it puts a damper on shit. Your going to have to retake that course to replace that grade and if its a F you can't retake it but if its a D then you can... At least that's how my university works..

I didn't pass a class by .03% once.. teacher said there has to be a cut off somewhere.. I was fucking shocked! retook it and passed..erasing any damage from before.

Yes, I think people being unreasonable gives you a reason to complain about their actions.

Welcome to the real world.

I find it hard to believe you would be locked out of a meeting for being five minutes late. It would be so much more beneficial for the company to have you in the meeting five minutes late than miss the entire meeting. I genuinely believe you are exaggerating to make a point. I'm sure you'll ask "what experience do you have to make you think that?" I have experienced you being unrealistically stubborn in other threads before.

which goes a little something like this

It wouldn't be elevated to the dean, at least not right away, but you probably already knew that since you have such a solid understanding of how everything works.

Oh yea, I've spent a year or ten in the university setting.  You should never expect your professors, office bitches or administrators to care or be compassionate.  If they are, then that's a bonus.  That doesnt make it right or acceptable, but that is the way it works.

It may not completely end, but its definitely in bad taste.  Show up 10 minutes early, its basic work ethic.  When you move up the ladder and interact with VIP's 5 minutes sure as hell matters.  Why?  because it's not just you that they have to meet with, its everyone else throughout the day.  And if everyone is 5 minutes late, it adds up.

retail finance isnt retail.

and to cry like a toddler when you didnt get what you wanted because you broke the agreement is bullshit.

i am by no means a bad student and take my schooling very seriously. i failed calculus my first semester out here. i could give you a list of things that happened that led to me failing the class, but in the end i just should've a) communicated with my professor as soon as i started having difficulty and b) studied harder. it happens. and really, i think there's a lesson to be learned in failure at anything. generally speaking, my greatest failures have also been my greatest learning experiences.

op, i'm sure you feel shitty. i know i did. but chances are you can do a grade exclusion if it's the first time so it won't count against your gpa. that's what i did. speak with your advisor. and don't give up. that's what pussies do. school, and life in general, isn't for pussies.

Upon reading the entirety of this thread, I have the following comments:

1) Most college professors will be lenient upon emailing/coming to their office/calling them after being late to a test and/or missing an important class.  This is, of course, supposing that you've kept in contact with them from the beginning and established a good relationship; i.e. you haven't just sat in the back while talking to your friends, or skipped class while supposing that they'll never miss you in the midst of a giant lecture hall.  They won't just magically become your bff after you frantically email them after sleeping in two hours late past the midterm final if you haven't spoken to them since you bumped into them in the cafeteria line and halfheartedly remembered to ask them for an extra copy of the syllabus.  :rofldrunk:

2) Fuck college.  Drug dealing is where it's at.  Prison is for pussies, you'll never get caught.  :smile2:

In the future, try getting to important appointments fifteen, or better yet thirty, minutes early.  It's a harsh lesson to be learned, to be sure, but better now than later, no?

I completely missed a final once due to a broken down car.  There is no way I could have made it.  I had a high A in the class and ended with a C.  It sucks, but sometimes there is nothing you can do.  You cannot plan for every eventuality.  Its too bad you cant drop the class, I couldn't either.  I had to take the C.

Can you be more specific?

Over time I've come to recognize that things don't always go my way; accordingly, I plan my time in the eventuality that things don't always go my way and leave ample room for such catastrophes as natural disasters/epic hangovers/roommates turning psychotic and barricading the room while proclaiming that they're Jesus Christ.  :rocket:

If you are unable to plan for an even bigger eventuality, you've simply failed in becoming on sufficiently good terms with your professor that he or she will understand.  :shrug:  Or else they're simply an asshole.  But something tells me that isn't the case.

I left twice as early as I normally do, which apparently wasn't enough time, but it should have been.

I do argue with this professor a lot, he doesn't like me. It's respectful arguing though, mainly just questioning. Half the semester has been spent on him trying to prove why his beliefs are the correct beliefs, and most of my classmates suck his dick. I was raised a conservative christian, not that I haven't changed, but his far left liberal antics piss me off.

I dunno.  Sure, in English or History you're likely to find liberal beliefs, but I've had plenty of conservative/Republican professors in the Math/Sciences.  :shrug:

Yeah my math teacher is a Christian. She doesn't try to shove it down her students throats though, she's open to talk about it 1 on 1 outside of class.

I've never had one.  If I did they hid it since they obviously know the first lesson of college.  I suspect that the few that exist are mostly in the economics department.  In either case, there is never a good reason to open your mouth and spew your beliefs.

Never took an economics class, but I agree wholly with your last statement, at least if you're not coating your beliefs in amenable rhetoric suitable to the context of your professor's reality tunnel.  :smirk:

Of course he doesn't.  Nobody does.  No matter how hard you try to be open minded, you will get a bad taste in your mouth if somebody questions your beliefs.  Don't be that bad taste.  As a student you are not going to change anybody's mind so don't bother.

That really should be the way it works.  The individual student should be empowered, the university and all its subsidy is there to service the student and society, not professors and office bitches.  For this to happen we need standardized statistics of the scores students receive before and after the class.  Also, its a conflict of interest for the person doing the educating to be the same person doing the testing.  You cant let people be their own judge of their own performance, that just doesnt work.  The school system's faculty need to purposefully design the methods of testing for each course.  The onus should then be on the professor and student to be able to excel at these tests.  No more conflict of interest.  The person teaching you and ideally helping you to succeed is not the same one judging you and failing you if you suck.  This is, I think, a practical capitalist/libertarian way to "fix" a lot of education.  In this system you would have both the students competing to get the best teachers and the teachers competing to get the most students.  Teachers that suck would fail to get students, teachers that rock could increase their students and excel.  Instead, we pretend that all teachers are the same and charge the same rate no matter which teacher you get - even though we all know there are good and bad teachers.

True dat.

Choosing the right prof when there's a large selection of them for a particular class is CRUCIAL. It made a fucking enormous difference in my life when I read reviews on the profs. Some of them are egotistical douchenozzles that can't teach worth a fuck and just drone on and on and on in a boring monotone and occasionally invite a student to offer an opinion up that they can then shit all over.

Other professors are just the loveliest people on the planet, super friendly, everything they say is relevant to what we are expected to know, they truly invite dialogue, help students wherever they can, and are truly educators

Wellp my professor ignored my email so I showed up to class to chat with him, and he refused to talk to me about it. He just kept telling me to go to student services so I asked if he was kicking me out of class or what's going on and he wouldn't just give me a yes or no even :rolleyes:

So I told him he was being unreasonable and he flipped shit. Looks like i'm retaking this class  :einstein:

Idk in my water management class they were trying to push poly acriminide to get suspended clay out of storm water and I raised my hand and was like hmmmm that shit is probably bad for the environment and the teacher was lik ummm yea its kind of bad for the environment and than tried to cover his ass.

if you're going to express a view like that, you can't do it in a self-serving, self-promoting way. you have to make the teacher make you seem smart.

PE class is such a joke IMO. The people who want to be healthy already know what they need to do and are going to be doing it. The other group of people probably know what to do as well, they just choose not to. It won't motivate anyone to change their lifestyle, once the class ends nobody will think twice about it
Just another waste of time requirement. If you're not obese you should be exempt at least :shrug2:

I know that's why I gave up on him, going to file a grievance report and then put it behind me, retake the class next semester and ace it.

My dad told me that's the best way to deal with bad teachers, move on and get revenge by being successful without their help :shrug:
