The class syllabus clearly states at the top the class ends May 17th. So yesterday I stroll into class a little bit early but find it odd that no one else is there.
I am sitting there waiting to take my final (30% of our overall grade) and I quickly realize something isn't right. It's 5 minutes after class is supposed to start and no one is there still. Just me, sitting by myself, in a pathetic state.
I leave and go home to read over the syllabus again. On the last page, it also clearly states the final will be May 10th...last week. Doh' No final? That just dropped my grade 30% automatically...aka I am now failing.
After I finished crying like a baby and punching myself in the face, I get composed and write the professor an email explaining my stupidity. She replies saying that I cannot take the final and she doesn't know what she should do, as I was doing quite well in the course up until this point.
She then replied again coming up with a "solution" :roll: She gave me 12 assignments to complete, including an essay & a project, just to get a passing grade. Jebus this sh!t will take all week with my remaining finals and work.
I would have easily received a B in the course after working all semester. Now I have work my ass off again just to pass. Sooooo much better than failing, as she could have just been a b!tch about it and told me to F off. Lesson learned, read the entire syllabus.
