Caught
I had to falsify a report to one of my professors. I had many things to do and I was unprepared for the test. So to have a chance to make the test up I told her something had happened. Now she is wanting documentation of the event of which I had to falsify, for my being able to make up the test.
I’ve been caught, and if I don’t take this test I’ve failed this class. Which I cannot afford. So I am up for advice. However, I might be e-mailing her back letting her know that I fucking paid for this class and SHIT happens. So if she gets paid for teaching, i help pay her. I should be able to take the test when I am able to…right? Anyway, I feel the school system becoming corrupt. I shouldn’t be persuaded to attend class by getting attendance points. I shouldn’t have to go if I don’t want to as long as I am taking the tests and passing. (I’m not saying I wouldn’t go but it is the principle of things.)

What a tough dilemma. Having been in a similar situation last fall, I know where you’re coming from. Bearing in mind the things will differ from uni to uni, talk to the dean of your department and be upfront about it. They will appreciate that more than you think. If you’re not already between a rock and a hard spot from your previous term, and you’re doing well in other classes, they may let you off really easy, or they may simply place you on academic probation for the next term which then means you can’t mess up that following term at all grade-wise.
But definitely, I would urge talking to the dean of your programme.
