A student in Class 313 told me excitedly that he passed the make-up exam held yesterday. I was happy for him. At the same time, I told him that in college there are no make-up exams and that once one fails a course, one has to re-take it next semester or even next year.
Three weeks ago, to prepare the final exam, I read a lot of articles on the Net. One of them was to high school graduates. It mentioned that college is in fact more difficult than high school. The point I remember most clearly is that in college no teacher will remind you of the deadlines over and over again. At the beginnng of the semester, students get a syllabus and after that they have to take care of everything themselves. All the requirements are on the syllabus and failing to meet any very likely means failing that course.
