So I have missed a test because I’m an idiot and misunderstood the time in which we could take it so now I have an F in the class and I’m pretty sure there’s no way I can even pass anymore. Maybe a C at the very best. What can I do? My depression and anxiety has skyrocketed through the roof because of this. I already emailed my professor but no response. Why should I do? I feel like one stupid mistake just cost me my whole senester and maybe even more.
Make the effort to go to your professors office hours and see if there’s anything you can do. Or drop the course if you can.
Go meet with the professor in person and plead your case.
If you fail the class, most schools allow you to retake a certain number of classes and replace the failing grade. This will be okay in the big scheme. I failed a physics class in college and still graduated with honors.
What’s most important is getting help with your depression and anxiety. D is in weekly therapy for anxiety and it’s helped her so much. She tried 3 therapists before finding the one that fit.
Go talk to the professor in person at your very first opportunity. I did this once. I misunderstood the time of the final exam. I went to talk to the professor at the very first chance I could. I think I just stopped by his office hoping he was there. I explained and offered to take the final right then and he let me do that. I don’t recall if I got full credit but I was happy to get a passing grade in a class that was required for my major and in which I had gotten an A on the midterm.
A single e-mail does not constitute effort on your part. You need to go and physically talk with your professor. Moaning about it on CC won’t save you. This error will only drag you down if you let it.
On 12/10/2016 you posted this because you were failing two courses:
You need to seek intensive counseling for your depression now.
When I was in college I remember having a health class taught by a nurse. I had a 100 academic average before the final. My final was on a Saturday morning at 8am. I remember it snowed Friday and tons of us were outside playing in the snow. I went in and fell asleep before my roommate was in for the night. She nicely saw that the alarm was set to go off on a Saturday and shut it off thinking it was a mistake.
I woke up around 8:45 and when I realized it I threw on sweats and booked it to the final. I was really worried that everyone would be gone. Fortunately one person was left taking the final so the professor hadn’t left yet. I was all out of breath but tried my best to apologize. The professor was like wait until you catch your breath then take the final. I don’t care that your late. She told me to wait when I was done and I was very nervous. She quickly corrected the multiple choice test and told me I had a 100 on the final (It was a real easy class).
