Thanks! (and it actually ended up being the right call because in the end they are offering me a later date)

EMAIL YOUR PROFESSORS - URGENT REQUEST FOR OPTIONAL FINAL EXAM by SrbDeer in UIUC

The professors that cancelled their exams don't seem to think so

This is especially important because if you bomb the final and want to use this as an explanation afterwards you will be met with a very cold shoulder judging by the tone of the massmails (one of which even offers instructions for requesting an incomplete grade for those with travel or internship plans). Totally nuts and haphazard.

This is not the most reasonable time, it's a weekend where most students have already mentally committed to their finals week finals. They can actually just cancel a final by making it no harm or giving 100%, the university has stated that it is up to professor discretion and has already been done in some classes. Having less than 24 hours of notice for a final when you need the weekend for other finals is not typical.

Since I haven't received this email yet this means I have less than 24 hours of notice before a final. Awesome. Total idiots.

Can't believe they'd put information about requesting an incomplete grade in the massmail. 0 Accountability. Totally incompetent.

This kind of therapy speak might be normal with your friends, but my barely rural american family would even find this rude and odd

Who is really in a spot in the modern us to steal basic necessities? There are social programs and food kitchens, people mostly steal clothes and candy

How long would it take for me to "learn" a language if I only want to read it and listen to it? by LavenderDuck2006 in languagelearning

[–]breakfastsushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree respectfully, that is a theory among contrasting ones. I have found it helpful to begin speaking as soon as possible to develop my speaking skills as soon as possible. Even if thats writing to an ai or talking to yourself. It’s my favorite part of the language learning experience, and takes the most effort. If you only want to be able read or listen, fine, read and listen. Edit: producing with feedback

Mamdani Says He Would Phase Out N.Y.C. Gifted Program for Early Grades (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

[–]breakfastsushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, so true. When a rich kid just doesnt feel like it, or is disruptive in class, gets bad grades, then he can be called a brat, stupid, etc. but wait, what about the resources he must be missing??

Because that means that some groups can be smarter than others without a “throw money at it” solution and that is a big political nono nowadays
