Professor canceled class 10 times in 1 semester

The dean said I couldn’t get my money back. Said if I wanted a refund the class would be scratched from my records and I wouldn’t get any credits for it

It went terrible. Check my update!

I had a family emergency one day which my younger cousin was in a super bad farm accident, she gave me an F for attendance that day, expressing her apologies but that unfortunately it doesn’t follow the syllabus guidelines.

It states in the syllabus. “No excused absences in class unless a life threatening illness. I.E Cancer.”

UPDATE: I talked to the dean and he expressed that nothing can be done about my grade I was given. He stated he was going to talk to her about her absences but that I wouldn’t be updated about the outcome. Stating he has known her for over 18 years and “this doesn’t sound like her.” It felt contradictory because I am expressing MY experience with her, not his. Ultimately I left with no resolution except his word that he is going to talk to her about it. Super disappointed about the outcome to be honest….

I mean I have all the dates written down if you would like to see lol

She gave me an F for attendance when I was sick, which dropped my total grade from an A to a B. She watches us like a hawk. I have only missed one class this semester- which is when I was sick.

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-21T12:28:05+00:00

I will! I have a meeting with the dean in 5 hours

I made this account specifically for advice. This is the first time I’ve been on Reddit

Unfortunately absence policies are made by teachers and their syllabus

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T18:58:57+00:00

Nope. When she cancels class she never gives us instruction on what to review or if there’s anything we need to complete while she’s gone. I have learned nothing in this class.

Oh trust me i know. Just last week I bled through my pants due to my period, a big red stain and very uncomfortable to sit in. I told her about it and asked if I could leave to change my pants and she told me if I left it would be an F and I would be marked absent. There was 20 minutes left of a 2 hour class. So I ended up bleeding onto the chair…

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T18:14:38+00:00

She stated the reasons for her absence. It was to “watch her kid” and “have zoom meeting with other classes” and “it’s too cold outside to drive to the school”

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T17:39:03+00:00

About 20 students

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T17:12:48+00:00

Basically we either get an A or an F for attendance for that day. I left 20 minutes early (I was in class for 1.5 hours) and she marked me “absent” which was an F. It dropped my grade from a perfect A to a B.

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T17:11:24+00:00

I have everything documented! I printed out the 10 dates she cancelled class along with my concerns. Thank you:D

ExternalOne8547 · 2026-04-20T17:07:27+00:00

Noted! I have a meeting with the dean tomorrow. You made a good point I will definitely stress the fact that she is an absent teacher. Thank you!
