Make the situation as uncomfortable as you possibly can.
BENGALS IN PANIC MODE PROFESSIONAL
However, if your professor is strictly professional and refuses to be swayed by your charm, a good last-ditch effort is always a classic mental breakdown. This is the part where you bat those pretty little eyelashes and break them down just that bit further. If you professor is Mother Teresa reincarnate, they just might take pity on you. This option involves letting your grade slip further and further until the very end of the semester, just past the point of no return, which is coincidentally the exact point where you schedule a meeting with your professor to beg for your life. And if you don’t have the charm and personality of a Golden Age star, it can still be accomplished with a well placed mental breakdown complete with tears. In the absence of that, it can be pulled off with the sex appeal of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. In an ideal situation, it involves a professor with the patience of a saint and the mercy of God Almighty. The third option can become rather complicated. The deus ex machina is a rare and precious event, and only a chosen few have ever been saved by its everlasting glory. This can manifest itself in many forms, such as the professor pulling an enormous extra credit assignment out of nowhere, making the final ridiculously and unprecedentedly easy or grading on a curve in a class where the highest score is still failing. Basically, you witness an actual miracle. I like to call this option, the deus ex machina. Option number two is zero risk and almost never any reward. (And the answer is yes, I do charge a consulting fee.) You’ll have to hit me up outside of my professional life for that extra mile. Now, I’m much too cocky to assume that the odd professor doesn’t read my column now and again, so I’m not going to give you specific cheating advice here. But set that aside for a moment and focus on the key word of if. If you get caught, will there be massive consequences? Probably. This option is high risk, but high reward. The good news is you do have a few options open to you.įirst, easiest and most obvious: cheating. The illusion has been ruined, and you are a failure. Unfortunately, Panic Mode, you did check your grades. (If you don’t know what that is, seriously don’t check your science grade.) If you never check your grade, you’re both acing your courses and failing them at the same time. You see, midterm grades are a truly perfect example of Schrodinger’s cat. Now, you’ve already broken the cardinal rule by checking your midterm grades in the first place. But speaking as someone whose grades are in constant peril, I can tell you the truth you truly need. Such people would proceed to suggest to you taking an ACAD course to improve your studying skills or perhaps withdrawing from the course. Many who find themselves in your predicament might seek the counsel of professors or advisors. How do I save my grade?įirst off, I’d like to congratulate you for seeking help at the right outlet.
Midterm grades are posted, and I haven’t been doing so great.
