Ok, so I've had a bunch of things happen this term both personal and family issues. So of course this happened during midterm week and it really proved to negatively effect my grade. If this test would have been any later or earilier than that day my grade would have been significantly higher. I came into the test unstable and not wanting to be there. I had so much stuff on my mind and was tired from not sleeping at all. I knew that I did bad but didn't think it was that bad. I retook the test because before the scores were released he puts up the questions on canvas. I got an 86% on the test on canvas when I checked my answers but a 52% on the actual test. Friends that I helped understand , and study got a better grade than me. I have since received help from my counselor and have documentation of going to one. I want to possibly ask for my test grade to be dropped and the weight of the midterm be added to my final grade. That is his policy on missing the exam.I usually wouldn't be so selfish to ask for this but the exam was 30%of my final grade. I still have two exams weighing at 30%, and 40% so I'm not totally screwed. I emailed and left him a voice-mail on the issue and I'm sort of just hoping for the best. I wanted to ask you guys what I should do in the future to avoid situations like this.I can't dodge my depression or family problems but how do I effectively keep it from effecting my academics? Thank you so much and have a great day!
