oh yes, it's crazy
Me:
I had tried to set up an appointment with you before exam week to ask questions about
the material we had covered. The only day i had available was the thursday beforehand
and you had told me you were not going to be on campus. I work full-time and without
that job, it would not
be fesible to afford college. I was having an anxiety attack during the final, which
was quite apparent. I would appreciate, if nothing else, to be able to receive a C- in
the course, rather than failing. An anxiety attack can hinder cognative abilities and
drastically reduce a person's normal level of functioning and mental
performance. I understand that this is not fair to the other students', however they
had more opportunities to meet during office hours which I could not because of the
scheduling of my other classes and my job. I understand that my attendance was not
perfect, however, i also suffer a mood disorder which essential makes me unable to
participate in life even in the most minute situations. I have been diagnosed with
this disorder and can provide you with ample documentation if you do not believe me. I
have never cried during an exam in my entire academic career, short of in high school
when my father died; though i found myself in tears during every one of your exams,
which is the only time I have ever cried over a test in my life. I found that the
exams were unjustly far more difficult than the quizes and homework that I did very
well on. Because this class is not offered in Summer B, it is impossible for me to
take it again without being kicked out of school. I cannot financially handle being
kicked out of school, nor do I think it is fair that I should suffer in my grades for
a mental disorder that I cannot help and for an anxiety attack during the final which
you chose to ignore.
