Reason I missed a mandatory class is because I have had episodes of vasovagal syncope (sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure leading to fainting) since September and have had echocardiogram, EKG, and Telemetry done to be diagnosed with this in October. On Wednesday, November 3rd I was stressed out in the morning due to a presentation I had to do for lab and then I had to go into work which triggered more stress. On the morning of Thursday, November 4th I woke up and had another episode where I fell unconscious to the floor and as my cardiologist advised I should not be driving or stressing myself out more on days of episodes, I made the choice of not driving the 50 minutes it takes me to get to school because I felt dizzy all day and I would not want anything bad happening.
Why did you miss a mandatory class?
What barriers prevented you from attending class?
Are the barriers real or a justification?
- How will you avoid this type of shortcoming in the future?
Do you consider yourself to be a professional?
- How did your missing a mandatory class reflect on your personal belief in professionalism?
How should a professional student be punished for acting unprofessional?
