It is really funny how common that dream is. I know that I've had it.Rick wrote:I'm 65 and still have occasional nightmares about having to show up and take a final after blowing off a class all semester.
BTW, I literally missed a midterm once. Undergrad, I went to Penn State. I took a lot of classes with large numbers of students. Many of them I rarely if ever showed for the lectures. Get the syllabus and then learned it on my own and showed up for the tests. They reschedule a test to a week earlier
I was studying for it and asked one of the guys who was in the class something about the upcoming test. That's when I learned it had already happened.They had to give me a makeup test because they are not supposed to change the dates. They did not have to give me an EASY makeup test
Yeah, my test was just a tad harder than the rest of the class Then in the same class, I over slept the final
Luckily I woke up about an hour after the 3 hour exam had started. That was not really my fault. A friend of mine was flunking out of engineering. She showed up about 10PM all distraught about an upcoming exam. So I stayed up late trying to tutor her. I didn't end up going to bed util well after midnight and just slept right through my alarm for the 8AM Exam. She still flunked out of engineering. Luckily I did not fail that class. I actually learned the material quite well which was not reflected in my C for the class.When I was a teaching assistant, I had a student that blew off the entire semester and showed up with about a week left in class asking if he could take the final
We said sure. He only needed to get about 200% on the final to pass the class. Yep, he failed the class. I don't remember, but I don't think he actually showed for the final.
