you dont think you can speak with the dean?

i mean from your story you seem like a good student.

plead your case to your teacher then talk to the dean afterwards.

i really hope everything works out in your favor

What're you gonna tell the Dean?

Hate to say it, but if you tell him the truth (that your cellphone and alarm didn't go off)...it's just gonna make you look irresponsible.

Better come up with a good lie.

word....................

We had an altercation in the first 2 weeks of class, another one last week....she doesn't like me. I'm completely & utterly distraught at how bad this situation is right now. She's the last person I'd choose to have mercy or pity on me.

3.9 @ community college. 4.0 @ freshman fall at UM. 4.0 @ freshman spring at UM. 4.0 @ sophomore fall at Howard.

Maybe the Dean might have some sympathy

:( pleade your case to the dean!

im sure he will see your dedication and commitment

Dude...word I would throw that shit on Youtube

what was the situation with the teacher anyway might as well explain it.. and as far as your track record you would think that would be enough for the Dean to look you out,

Will one failed class really pull your gpa down that much if you're at a 4.0? especially if you're getting A's in all your other classes?

Some professors are like that. They make no exceptions but most aren't. If they see you've been putting the time on, in and coming to class and doing your work most let you make it up for atleast a lesser grade.

I got 100% in a lab exam that was one of craziest tests I've ever taken. But I showed up late and I got a 90% just because my professor was a hardass.

Yea....if I get A's in every other course, I'd still end up with a 3.1 or something. It's below 3.25, which is what I need.

You have to get a 3.25 every semester or your overall gpa just needs to be 3.25?

How would you fail though? You can't manage a C with the other speeches you have to prepare?

Say a family emergency occured. Make up a sob story. Or find someone that can get you a doctor's note.

Tell her and you r Dean the truth. Bring your transcripts and everything to back up your arguments. Ask if she could atleast grade give you half credit on the assignment meaning if it was "A" quality work then maybe you could receive a "B".

My advice that because you have such a great track record and that your 1st student/teacher issues is with a class that isn't even in your major, maybe they will look out for your. The last thing you want to do is lie. If that doesn't work ask the Dean if their are any other scholarships that you qualify for.

Don't take this the wrong way, but a few things seem to match up. Reading between the lines it doesn't seem as if you take this class as serious as the others. (I get it, it's speech). Add to that the fact that people who teach these classes (speech, lower level math and english classes, etc) already have an inferiority complex and feel the need to play harder to gain "respect" from the students. And combine that with her age (mid twenties, probably fresh out of grad school herself), and needing to "prove herself" may lead to you being fucked.

Show all your transcripts to the dean, plead your case and come up with some "I've seen the error of my ways and I will never do this again" if it will help.
