Okay, So i've been dropped out of my class which was worth 3units and only with a month and a half left till end of the semster ! My prof just DROPPED me because i haven't been attending class daily....Okay, i'm sorry i didn't attend your class daily, but i've turned in all my work with the grades of A's and B's and ACED my MIDTERM ! It was only a week after the midterm he dropped me too...so unfair ! What to do ?

[jonogunn]

Wow is it a small class? Cause don't most uni/colleges consist of lectures where it's ur resposibility to attend but not graded in any way?

[TRINAMUI]

Yeah, it's a bit of a small class...But does it really matter if it's a small class?

I don't know, but he dropped me i know that....sigh~ err

[B0hemian_Sprite]

I hate to sound mean, but it is kind of your fault. =/
If it's a small class, you shouldn't be skipping.

Sorry to hear about it tho...

-edit-
you should talk to your dean or something tho

[Baybe Gyrl`]

is there anyway you can talk to a counselor or something and get them to reverse this?

caz that really bites.

he must feel pissed off that you can do so well w/o having to attend his class or something.

[Raito!]

I think you should go to the dean or whoever his supervisor is and make a complain.

[i'm lagging yo]

it depends on the professor's policy... some drop your grade one letter if you miss a certain number of classes. in your case i guess you get dropped completely?

[yodisbsteve]

does your class/university have an attendance policy? if so then its your fault if not go talk w/ the prof or someone in charge of the department

[MaryMagdalin]

wow that sucks...
i wouldn`t knjow
at my college you aren`t required to go to lectures

[LoLamae]

Man, that sucks.
But at my school if you miss a certain amount of hours, they can drop you. Regardless of your grade.
If you talk to your professor, you can be reinstated. Just make up some bs excuse about why you have been missing class, but say that you study your hardest (thats why you did so well on the midterm) and promise that you will come to class because all of your "issues" have been cleared up.

[mickey012]

hmm, if it's a small class or one that has attendance requirement, then yeah, it's too bad for you...

try talking to the professor & see what he/she says...

[sHiNHaWk]

Professor's have a policy on absences and they'll drop people regardless of their grades. Unless you had to miss class for dire reasons, then there was nothing unfair about it.

[MikiRei]

errrrrr........it's your own fault, I'm afraid to say. That's why you don't skip classes - 'cause some courses actually take attendance as assessment - so.....just for the sake of precaution, u dun skip classes. If the classes r boring, u can very well do your other work during that time - I do that - saves time and prevents u from missing anything important said during lectures.

[EYJAYJAY]

sry but how is it unfair? yeah u may be smart and doing good in the class but it's his policy. u shouldve attended class. im sure it says it on the syllabus or he mentioned it first day of class

[HtyPotter]

I have a number of classes where if I miss over a certain amount, I fail. But if attendence was never mentioned as relevant to your course grade, then you should talk to the dean.

[awdark]

T_T why doesn't my professor drop me?
I need to be dropped so I can register for another class >_<

Skim over your syllabus see what it says im betting he factors attendance and participation into the grade.

[xkrndreamer]

there are such things as attendance policies.

[Doanh]

does your class/university have an attendance policy? if so then its your fault if not go talk w/ the prof or someone in charge of the department

Yup i agree, it depends on the policy, over in my uni, if you dont attend to x% of them you get thrown out of college, let alone one course.
But i feel bad what happened to you.

[dunpingy]

if its not in the syllabus then you probably have a case. otherwise you should go beg for forgiveness

[Hatsuharu]

Yeah, the syllabus is where I would go. If there's something in the syllabus saying that class attendance is required/mandatory, then you're outta luck. I agree with what dunpingy said though, talk to the prof and see if you can remedy this.
