I’m a Geographic Information Science Major, and this semester was going so great, until I developed kidney stones. I did everything I could to help my teachers help me; I gave them advanced notice for when I’d be gone, written excuses ASAP. I emailed all of my professors just as a backup while I was in pre-op. Every upper level professor was so considerate and helpful, and offered to aide me in any way possible. Then there was my Public Speaking teacher. She’s a very stuck-up type, who if you ask a question, she just directs you to the syllabus. Well when I noticed a failed grade on the day I was getting a kidney operation, I kindly asked her, “I noticed a zero entered for this assignment. Since I was in surgery that day, is there any way I can make it up? I’d be very grateful.” And her response was, “As per the CMS210 syllabus, students will not be offered the ability to make up missed in-class work.”
It’s really screwing with my mind and doesn’t feel right that I’m suffering in this gen-ed course because of this. Does anyone have any insight on dealing with these types of professors?
