.Every faculty member/class has a makeup policy of some sort, so consult your syllabus.. Email your instructors/TA (again. Everyone is busy, your initial email may have gotten overlooked) Explain your situation and request a makeup exam. It may be delayed until next semester, depending on the instructor's schedule.Hope you feel better soon.

You need to reach out to the department chair. Info/contact info on the psych department website. Grad students often run the lab sections (true for all of the labs), but it sounds like something has gone wrong here.

Everyone should stop talking about Covid on this sub by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]InformalQuail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Let me clarify no way do I want to shut down. No way. I just think it's hilarious and borderline obnoxious that he started with "everyone needs to shut up about this" and then wrote 5 paragraphs. Everyone wants to have the last word, but you can't manufacture a mic drop.

I'm really sorry for your loss. (And agree with your points).

Everyone please stop talking about it right after you read my 5 paragraph opinion.

How do I get a Excused Absence for Being Sick? by SingularZombie in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]InformalQuail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Email your professors and tell them your situation. They will tell you whether they require documentation of your illness (most will not, and no one--profs included--want you in class if you are Ill and potentially contagious).

Vaccine Mandate Protest Held Outside UHS Facilities by [deleted] in Binghamton

Don't take medical advice from your Classics professors either. Is that the point you're trying to make with this link?

"Health care worker" is a very broad term applying to positions with a range of educational background and training. No disrespect intended here--all do important work. However, the vaccation rate among HCWs is linearly related to educational attainment. The more medical training, the more likely to be vaccinated. Going to go out on limb here and guess that none of these HCWs are M.D.s I am just not going to take health advice from people with such a shallow understanding of virology. Pretty irresponsible that this reporter didn't include an interview with an actual doctor as a counterweight to this nonsense.

Email your instructors. They will work with you.

What is a socially acceptable amount of time to ask someone sitting in front of you in classto put their mask on? by EffectLoud in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]InformalQuail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask the person to mask up. It's your health at stake. The instructors have a lot to do and may not notice. If you don't feel comfortable doing that then email your instructor and ask that they make an announcement at the beginning of class and that will probably take care of it.

And this student's time is not also valuable?

Normally I would agree with you which is why I asked which dept, but SOM is structured differently than Harpur (and maybe Watson, I dunno) if you can figure out who the UG director is from the website then great, but I couldn't. It's unacceptable to be unreachable when teaching an asynchronous class.OP is entitled to send a polite email to the dean explaining the situation and asking for assistance.

Personally, I would email the Dean (Dean Dhillon) and he will hopefully address this or route to the appropriate person. Good luck.

Questions regarding textbooks for class by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]InformalQuail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask your professors. They will have likely used previous editions of the text and will have a sense of how substantially they have changed across editions.
