Academic Panic is the subject of this page, and it isn't quite so bad 1. Missing Exams or Paper Due Dates Students miss exams or paper due dates for many reasons. Most are legitimate. Relax. If you are sick, contact me again when you are healthy enough to return to class. Everyone oversleeps for an exam once in a while.There is always a make-up exam (make up exams are always slightly harder than regularly scheduled exams because you have extra time to study, and have the benefit of learning from other students in the class what the regular test was like. If you missed the paper due date, please talk to me about it. TOP TEN REASONS FOR PANIC 10. My car has broken down in King City and I cannot get to school in time to take the exam. 9. I have been trapped in a traffic jam on the 405 for 12 hours and it looks like I will be here a lot longer. 8. My computer crashed just as I was about to print out the paper, and now I have nothing. 7. My engine block melted as I was driving to school today and I am really stressed out. 6. I am too sick to take the exam or write the paper. Do I have to call you up and cough into the telephone? NO--I do not need to hear you cough. 5. My alarm clock didn't go off. My roommates never bothered to wake me. 4 My boyfriend/or girlfriend has just dumped me, and there is no way I could take the exam right now. 3.I had to go to a wedding (funeral/bar mitzvah/job interview) 2 I have been helping my roommate through a crisis. 1. What? There was an exam today? Panic 2:Doing Poorly on an Exam or Paper PLEASE COME TALK TO ME. Make an appointment after class, or come to a regularly scheduled office hour, or send me an e mail. RIGHT NOW.
