I need your help someone! I have a VERY serious problem...
I was supposed to take my statistics exam today at 8am. But my teacher said in class that we could take the exam on tuesday if we were in the electronics class, which has the exam on the same day, (today, saturday).
He sent out this email on thursday
Ok, so I send him this email thursday night at 12:00 p.m. knowing that it would get to his inbox and he could reply first thing in the morning tomorrow.
Ok, so friday comes along. I wait......I wait......I wait....NO RESPONSE. I am like this guy should have responded by now. He should have checked his email early in the morining and gave me a thumbs up or thumbs down.
So I take my electronics exam today (saturday) and my friend tells me, oh by the way did you get professor b's email? I'm like no, what email? Oh, he sent out an email for the exam. I said, well, I already sent him an email asking to take the makeup, and I did not think twice about it.
Take the electronics exam, bomb it, come home and check my email. Look what I find. (3) emails in my inbox from friday NIGHT. LOOK AT THE TIMESTAMP!
Then he sends this one:
And then he sends this email:
HE SENT THIS THE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM AT 8:00 PM AND WANTED A REPLY BEFORE 12!?!?
So when I got home and opened my email today, I nearly took a S*** in my pants; because, in effect, I now have a ZERO on my final exam and I will have an end grade of 71%, w/o the final grade. I had a 93% in the class w/o including the final exam grade.
I EVEN WENT TO HIS OFFICE ON THURSDAY EVENING AND ASKED HIM IN PERSON TO TAKE THE EXAM TUESDAY! I specifically TOLD him, is it possible to take the test earlier if I feel ready, even though I should take it thursday. He said sure that's fine. I AM THE REASON HE SENT OUT THAT FIRST EMAIL!
I AM ABOUT TO EITHER (1) KILL SOMEBODY or (2) PASS OUT
GODDDDDDDDDD DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMNIT I AM ANGRY!
If he says no to taking the exam, I am going to go to the Dean, but I know that it will be out of the Dean's hands...
F******************************K!
You're a teacher moonbear, I need your advice on what to do if he says no.

The final is 8AM on this Saturday.
The makeup final for people who cannot take the final on saturday - due to religious reasons or the Electronics exam - is on Tuesday 5/16 from 2-4 pm in the Mech Eng conf room 2164.
If you are taking the exam on Tuesday, please send me in your name by 4pm tomorrow - no exceptions.
(On the other hand if you send in your name to take it on tuesday and wake up on Saturday morning and want to take the exam, you can. What you cannot do is wake up and email me that you cannot take the exam and will take it on Tuesday. That dog don't hunt!)
Good luck.

My offer for people to take the test on Tuesday was for one of two reasons - religious reasons or you have another exam right after this on Saturday - was that electronics.
For ALL of you who sent me emails saying that you would "like to take the test" on Tuesday, or that you are informing me that you are or any of those things please note:
SEND ME ANOTHER EMAIL SAYING THAT YOU HAVE ANOTHER FINAL ON SATURDAY IN A SPECIFIC COURSE AND WHICH COURSE AND WHICH TIME FOR THE FINAL OR ITS A RELIGIOUS REASON.
IF IT IS NOT THOSE REASONS ---YOU ARE TAKING THE FINAL ON SATURDAY. IF YOU SHOW UP TUESDAY THINKING I SAID YES TO THE REASON YOU MADE UP THEN YOU WILL NOT SIT FOR THE FINAL.

I had received 18 requests to take the final on Tuesday. So far I have accepted 9 of them -chalmers, colfack, Tapp, Shilling, Stein,Piel, Minovich and Cushing. These nine included the reason.
The rest I have not yet accepted and unless i do i expect you to take the test on saturday. Unless i receive an acceptable email back.
