[quote=Anonymous]As a freshman I slept through my first ever college final - an 8am bio final. A hallmate woke me up having just finished it quickly and said “Wake up! You slept through the test. But I noticed you weren’t there and talked to the professor saying you must have slept through your alarm and they said if you get there NOW you can still take it.” I hauled ass and it was fun…slow test takers were still there. She and I weren’t even really friends. Always grateful for that.

Once another time I wrote a great test essay in response to one of the books we read, walked out, and realized the prompt was about another book (I’d just liked the one so much I had it on the brain).  I ran back to the professor and explained and she was like “Uhh, are you busy? You can write the real essay now.” So I did.

I was a good student. Those are the only first year of college blips I recall.

Now I’m the professor. I try to be kind and fair and reasonable. I will add that this is why it pays to speak up in class and go to office hours once or twice for a substantive reason: sometimes it’s hard to help a student if the first time you hear their voice or make eye contact or receive an email is when they ask for a favor.
