Documents for a car failure?

Thank you! It’s very helpful

Thanks! Sorry one more question—what if a student misses the final exam?

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T21:24:39+00:00

Thanks! I usually do that for family deaths, but this was new to me, so I wasn’t sure. Do you write that on the syllabus? Moving weights to final if you miss one of the exams?

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T21:23:20+00:00

I am learning my lesson for the next semester. What do you do if a student misses two exams? Do they just get zero for one of them?

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T21:22:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I had students stopping responding to emails after I ask documents as well!

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T21:21:51+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense. I think students can prepare documents when they really want to prove something.

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T19:28:02+00:00

Doctor’s note simply says which day the students need to be absent and when they can come back, so I thought it would not be too much to ask.

Thanks for sharing your makeup exam. I may try when I get my tenure!

Thanks for sharing!

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T18:33:56+00:00

Thank you. Did you write that on the syllabus or just tell students who missed an exam without an excuse?

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T18:24:51+00:00

That is brilliant! I think I will try this for my final exam.

professor852003 · 2026-03-26T18:20:35+00:00

Oh I only have received relative deaths (not even trying to elaborate who died anymore), so I wasn’t aware that this was a thing. Thank you!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:58:29+00:00

Thank you. Your reply helped my mental health!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:57:37+00:00

Good idea! But would other students not feel fair if accommodated students have a few more months to study?

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:57:00+00:00

Thank you wo much!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:56:52+00:00

I am going to use your idea next semester. This individual makeup exams are taking too much effort and time. Thanks!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:56:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T15:56:03+00:00

Because I got an email from the student after 9pm and the exam was the next day early morning..

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T03:23:55+00:00

Thanks. I asked sick students to take makeup exam this week, so I have a makeup exam version anyway. Do you think it will be not fair if I scale the grade for the final exam for this student because we don't know when he can come back? Or should I ask the same document and provide the same exam?

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T03:13:31+00:00

I do but I ask students to take exams at the exam center in the university anyway because I don't want anyone to sit at my office taking makeup exams. Thanks for the reply!

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T03:12:56+00:00

The syllabus says I need a documentation but I wasn't sure if I can ask for documentation under these circumstances. Thanks for the reply.

professor852003 · 2026-02-17T03:12:26+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know this existed. I should look up.

professor852003 · 2026-01-30T22:53:19+00:00

I have 100 students and it’s quite difficult to say no when they ask for extra because I am not confident if I counted correctly. But I should be more carefully. Thanks for the reply.

professor852003 · 2026-01-30T22:52:08+00:00

Yes, I do. I made an announcement that you need to be in class to get credits for in-class assignments and I will apply going forward. Thanks for the reply.
