For example a student keeps a B average and they have to keep a 3.0, one F can absolutely cause them to lose the scholarship. Especially if the student almost has a 60, which would make the grade a D, it is not wrong to see if a professor will give the student benefit of the doubt for a few points. If the student is genuinely trying and is just not good at that subject, they should be given a small aid.

Obviously written by a student and not a professor. Excuses don't work and we are truly annoyed when you insult our intelligence. You don't believe this, but we are way smarter than you! We also have classrooms full of hard-working students who aren't wasting our time presenting us with this crap. My responses to these lame excuses: (1) "That's wonderful. Sounds like things are going well now. Keep up the good work!" (2) See above - retroactive communication on these issues not an effective strategy. (3) "Had you sent an electronic copy I could have checked the properties. Regardless, you didn't hand it in when it was due so you can't earn credit. I hope the process in completing it will be helpful, nonetheless, in preparing for the next exam" (4) Don't even try...scholarships are not revoked based on one bad grade. You're also asking for a grade you didn't earn. Do no pass go, but I'll certainly share your email with financial aid, your advisor, and perhaps academic affairs and let you know I'm doing this because this sort of behavior is unacceptable. (5) "Read the syllabus on make-up policy." (6) "First, don't flatter yourself. Second, yplease excuse me while I formalize the complaint to the academic integrity committee recommending your dismissal" I truly enjoyed reading this.

If you save that information until after you do poorly on an exam or assignment, you likely won't be believed. 3) OK, you have proof that you did the homework, so what? Can you prove WHEN you did it? Can you prove that you actually turned it in? How do I know you didn't do it after the fact? 4) Instructors do NOT GIVE grades; students EARN grades. The instructor is not responsible for what might happen because you earned a low grade, whether it's getting kicked off the team or losing your financial aid. That's all the on the students. 6) If you are stupid enough to try this one, you deserve the massive storm of disciplinary hurt that is about to swallow you alive. This is horrible advice.

Students in medical school listen up, if you are looking you a good residency program you should be working very hard, is not your professors fault but yours, Remember that spending a lot of time is not the key, but how you spend that time. Is quality a not quantity!!!!! The “Sexual favor think” could get you out of school, you will be send into the professional conduct committee and crucify like Jesus Christ.

Any sexual favors you need from a young man/women like me?” Who here is giving who the favor. The student may get more out of being with their hot teacher than the teacher getting it from the student haha. 6. “Is there anything else I can do?
