Yay for a teacher actually showing compassion! I missed half my assignments and quizzes(online class) because I thought it was all due at the end of the semester... I mean, I was totally the *** at fault but at least I have a chance now, my highest possible grade before was like 65% '-';
/'-'/ yay for groveling
This reminds me of a story where the reverse happened lol.
I slept through my alarm for the first time ever in college on the day of my Musical Appreciation exam(a mandatory class given by the college in Freshman year). I immediately charged off to find the professor and explain. I thought, surely he'd at least maybe let me take it and give me 50 or something. Anything but a zero.
Well I found him, and I started to shake and tried to explain. I'd never been late to class, never missed class, and I had an A going into the exam. He smiled a wide smile and said, "Oh, don't worry Mr. Wynn! Your grade is so high you were exempt! You didn't even have to take the exam! Don't worry about it!" I thanked him profusely and went on my merry way, practically skipping. Then my grades came out, and I had a 68 as a final grade.
