It does suck that he backed off from letting you take the makeup exam and making this decision on your own... he might be trying to be helpful... in his way... But certainly, you didn't need to hear that from him TODAY OF ALL DAYS. At the end of such a craptastic week.

I'm sorry.

I know that it's a radical view, but I do think the decision about what you can/can't do is yours to make (with the help of the doctors), and that taking back his offer to reschedule was a totally shitty thing to do.

wtf, vw?

No, totally not overreacting. Prof gets to decide whether he wants to let you retake the exam, but not whether you're healthy enough to do the course.

Yes, I agree that it is a shitty thing to do. However, I think the professor may feel he is coming from a valid POV. Whether he is or not? knowing vw, I don't think so.

He may; he may even be saying something perfectly decent (e.g., "I'm sorry to hear that you're sick, and concerned about how you'll be able to handle it.") in a completely foot in mouth way.

Takebacks when he'd already allowed a makeup, otoh, is pure shitty whatever the motivation.

Yes, absolutely.

Yup. If you decide that you want to keep this class, you should probably go over his head with regard to this exam.

My last paycheck was direct deposited today. If I sent someone else to go get my pay stub they won't give it to them, right? t /total scaredy cat

wouldn't they put it in the mail eventually, if you're not going back?
