Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 You might write him a letter (putting things in writing is different than just going and talking to him). Explain your point of view and what you see are your options. Then ask him if he could think of any other options that you have overlooked that would be valuable in order for you to pass his class. For you value him because he does have tenure and is a respected professor in his field. School is not about being fair. It is a system. It is not perfect...it is not even real. And if you ever worked for a university you would find out that their is a lot of politics involved in getting where they have gotten to. It is worst than the job that you probably want one day.
