>Be me, 20 male>Finishing 3rd semester of med school >We have this fuck ass class about indigenous people where we have to do a group project (3-8 people) and a huge presentation at the end (worth like 80% of the grade) >Already passed every other assignment but this one>German teacher told us to be at school by 7:10 A.M.>Wake up late and get to school at 7:40, like 6 minutes before my team's turn>Wild German teacher appears out of nowhere and says to me "You won't go up there, talk with your team. I gave you the arrival time and you didn't follow instructions">Couldn't even talk or get a chance to defend myselfFuck, I think I won't make it this timeHonestly I wanna kill myself
>>34562969Germans hate when you are late. One of the several cases of "We don't do that in Germany."
>>34562969Do you plan on being a half-hour late to things when you're a doctor?
>>34563028I feel like she wanted to say smth like that
>>34563048I get the point but it was only this time, and I got there before our turn, it's not like I'd arrived during the presentation
>>34563067>sheYou'll have to get in her pants buddy, no matter how old she is. Just kidding. If you ask for forgiveness and explain to her, she will probably understand and not pick on you, send her an e-mail, it has always worked out for me when I was at university.
>>34563075I think the idea was to have time to hash out the details with the team beforehand
>>34563079She already told my team to meet her after thisHope she'll have mercy on me and doesn't mess with my team
>>34563075As if being 30 minutes lake for some fuckass assignment justifies failing the entire class even though they've already demonstrated an understanding of the material. >>34562969In my experience with post-secondary, unfortunately an important component to excelling or being successful is navigating shitty teachers. You'll have to try to work with her as best you can to redeem your grade, be as respectful as possible. Otherwise I guess you'd have to retake the class, unless there's some third party you can concult?From here on out, I'd recommend sites like ratemyprofessor so you can help avoid profs like this one. If you ever see major red flags in future classes, as a worst-case scenario you might consider dropping the class near the start before it impacts your grade.
