How to deal with dramatic drop in grade due to strict attendance policy [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm currently taking a required class where com/tag/attendance">attendance is counted at 15% of the grade. The com/tag/policy">policy is that if a student misses more than 2 com/tag/lectures">lectures, they lose all 15% of those points. The class itself takes place 5 days a week, and com/tag/attendance">attendance is taken daily and uniformly. I currently hold a 91% in this class, but I missed my third class today and I'm trying to decide how to proceed from here. I feel like all of the time and effort I've put into the class has been totally discounted for a reason that has nothing to do with my com/tag/knowledge">knowledge of the course material.

Am I wrong to feel as though this is an unfair mark? On one hand, I knew that this com/tag/policy">policy existed and the consequences for missing 3 classes. On the other hand, dropping a grade from an A to a C for such a small reason feels absolutely unacceptable to me. How should I approach this situation to help repair my grade?
