Hello Professor STAFF. This is Student, SID#########, from the EWRT 1B 3:45-5:50pm class. I arrived to class around 4:35 on Thursday 12/03 and class was locked and empty. I know our portfolio’s were due that day but I wasn’t off of work until 4 and getting out to campus at that out is a real difficulty. I had no choice but to turn in the portfolio to your mailbox and to be honest, I am still freaking out about it. I don’t want to fail because I had work that day and was late to class, I had my portfolio done on the due day. I left a note on the inside of the portfolio and wrote professor STAFF on the cover of the file folder. It is a dark blue folder. Anyway I looked around the parking lot and wandered around campus hoping to see you or another classmate but still, all my worrying and stressing has left me incessantly rambling on a very simple email. I worked pretty hard on it, well, i worked hard on all the papers in the class. I have ADD and am finally getting treatment, as of this week, but regardless, I am really worried about this. It’s hard but it was really nice to be in a class where lost apathy and desired to succeed. Please email me back with the standing of my portfolio or in the class. See you in EWRT 2 next quarter.

Dear Student,

You could not have been outside the room at 4:35, because I stayed an entire hour waiting for you (until 4:45 PM). The deadline for the portfolio was 3:45 PM. I made this quite clear, and I stressed that I would not wait for you (even though I did) and that if you do not turn in your final exam portfolio then you fail the class.

Why would you think that getting off work at 4:00 PM on the day that a major assignment was due at 3:45 PM was acceptable?

Why would you wait until Monday night to email me about missing the deadline of last Thursday afternoon?

Let’s see, you also mentioned you have ADD, a pesky case of apathy, and that you’ll see me in EWRT 2. Addressing those in order: I have ADD yet still show up to work on time everyday, apathy to me has always been an ailment of the bourgeois, and no, you will not see me next quarter in EWRT 2, because you are not registered for that class and it is already full with a ten student wait list.

I will give you until midnight tonight to email me your portfolio, which will be heavily penalized. I’m turning in my grade sheets at 12:01 AM, and there will be no further allowances whatsoever.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
