Hell, I once was sick on the day of an exam and my prof let me take it a couple of days later when I was feeling better. Most teachers will be accommodating because they don't want to see their students fail.

I have never, ever heard of or been in a class where missing just a couple of days would cause you to fail, neither in undergrad nor grad school. In my last certification class you only had to show up for 80% of the classes to get an automatic pass on attendance.

It varies by school.

The school where I took my undergrad, as long as you made up any labs you missed, you could take off sick with a doctor's note. At the schoole where I did my Masters work, the students could miss two classes with valid cause (doctor's note, funeral notice, etc.) and couldn't make up labs. Students with recognized disabilities could get special dispensation, but if you were just garden-variety sick, the best you could get is an incomplete.

Most. I had professors not so kind or understanding, and I certainly had ones who used their classes as a power trip.

+1 It really depends on the university and teacher. My university had a very strict policy about failure if you missed a certain number of days. The nicer teachers would help students but the not so nice teachers would fail students no matter what happened in their life.

Yeah. I was lucky, but I had a friend who lived in the same dorm who got pneumonia the day of her verbal Japanese exam. She was forbidden to reschedule, and could not afford to skip, because her family didn't have the money to retake her class.

So she went, did her verbal exam with raging pneumonia and collapsed in the hallway.

She passed.

(This is also why I am so, SO glad my father didn't end up a professor. He flat-out admitted he didn't believe disabled students deserved any accommodation and he WOULD have power-tripped the hell out of his students, regardless of sickness or circumstance.)

I'm almost afraid to ask, but you do mean passed as in passed the exam, right?

And wow, no offense to your father, but that would've really sucked for me.

Re: Confession Thread

[lb_lee]

OH NO! She was totally alive and got better! Not that kind of passed! D: Perish the thought!

Yeah, no, Dad NEVER should become a teacher.

AYRT - Whew! I was a little worried. (Although in retrospect, I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry.)

Re: Confession Thread

[lb_lee]

Yeah, no, they didn't die, thank god! It's okay, just D: to think. I mean, pneumonia is pretty serious stuff.

I had 4 days a semester you could use for anything. Sick days, need to stay home and study like crazy, etc, before it started to affect your grades.

After that? You BETTER have had a doctor's note. And even then, it would depend on the teacher.

Come to RISD then, where if you have two unexcused absences from a class, then you're immediately dropped from the class. And it's a bitch to get an excuse.

Of course, most teachers are nicer or more understanding than the rule, but it's still the rule.

Didn't realize anyone else from there was here too! What department are you in?

Re: Confession Thread

At the university I attend, missing more than two days of classes lowers your grade for the semester by ten percentage points or one letter grade.
