[quote=Anonymous]1.  Is DC really and truly OK?  Ensure absolute fact and OK-ness here before moving on, _if_at_all_, to step 2.

2.  What was the chain of events _and_decisions_ that led to this outcome?  Which of these were outside of DC's control, and which were within it?  College students often get very confused between these two things, believe it or not.  It is part of their not-quite-yet-grown-up brains.

3.  What could DC have done differently, and when?  This response should contain action items, not just "I take full responsibility," which is the favorite platitude of undergraduates who think they are pacifying adults.

4.  What will DC do next time a situation like this arises?  Require research of and knowledge of school policies, if necessary.

5.  What can/should DC do, if anything, to mitigate this?  If this was a trial class for a major DC does not intend to pursue, retaking for a better grade is likely to be an uphill slog.  Might be better to move on.

6.  What will DCs reporting responsibilities be for the coming semester, e.g. to an adviser, an academic coach, a tutor, a counselor, and/or even to you?
