ooh, that's rough. how did you mistske the day of your final?

mistake the day of your final?* ugh, freaking autocorrect.

Twice a week classes are a thing. With one day in between, it could easily be a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday class. Some professors give you the day before the final off to study, or maybe something happened and they thought they just missed class and actually missed the final. If finals are happening the last week of school, it's not entirely strange if they assumed their final was on Thursday when it was actually on Tuesday. Whether or not this qualifies for a re-take depends on the professor, but this seems like a believable fuck-up to me.

You definitely deserved it.

How rude of you to say that. What if you were in that position?

That's why I always triple check the date, time, and location of my exams--daily!

You should have gone to class or put the date in your phone to remind you.

So I guess you could have missed everything else over the whole year in regards to credit but just remembered this one day, nailed the exam and be in the same position?

You should have remembered this date.

That happened to me in college once - a day late to the final. I immediately contacted the teacher and explained what happened. They let me take the same final with another class. Do not wait! Contact your teacher.

You got very lucky. Most teachers would only let you retake an exam if you have a valid excuse. And saying that you forgot what day it was on is not a valid excuse.

Isn't the point of a test to demonstrate what you learned? Why would you not be allowed to demonstrate what you learned during the course just because you missad a date?

Because college is also about learning to be responsible. Forgetting the date of an important exam is hardly being responsible.

Being a good student, you should know that your grade in the class is now 45+%

Unless it was not your usual class time, YDI for not going to class.

check with the professor asap.

Hope your prof has a kind heart! Mistakes happen
