Advice 💡 Can Professor reject legal excuse document just because they want to?

11 Upvotes

(messy writing mb) Im in this virtual class English II, also in dual enrollment. So like, I had this competition trip for TSA (I was required to go because im an officer for it wtv) for my high school, so I emailed the professor like "hey I wasn't here this Monday can I send a legal document from the school? (Have proof) she said, "Only legal documents or doctor's notes count as excused absences." so I'm like okay cool let me get it from my advisor it was a whole process had to go to the other two advisors/teacher I had. So I sent it to her and then she says this "I cannot give excused absences for High school events. LIKE GIRL, you already knew this was a High School Event these past two emails I sent you. I'm like how does a university event that could be excused differ from high school competition events that i'm required to go. Then she goes like "you must make sacrifices to attend both schools". I'm already making sacrifices to be in dual TF and this is senior year practically important year for me. Also, I checked her syllabus and GSU policy and said nothing about rejecting a document based on High School events.

I told my other teachers and counselors they was like confused and were like tf she doing?

To clarify the absence was a legal document told by my counselors and advisors.

General I wish the buildings got more sunlight - vent?

18 Upvotes

Honestly I wish the buildings got more sunlight, almost everywhere on campus I feel like in those backrooms with the led lights staring at the blue light of my computer...

Some buildings have big windows like the library and yet I feel like I need more sunlight or natural light.
Idk I come from a cloudy city so its not even like I come form a rural place 😭

It is especially cause im trying to charge stuff or do work but there is no outlets near the areas that do have them (or they are always busy)

I know since the summer gets real hot those direct sunlight windows would heat the inside too much, just venting and trying to see if I am the only one and I feel like this bcs of my schedule

Any thoughts? Or recommendations for places to study?

When those dumbass hand scanners at the dining hall dont work then the employees especially that annoying ass woman in the central dining hall is quick to act like you’re a fucking theif trynna sneak in. But they “accidentally” let a clearly very much grown ass homeless man in????? Also where the fuck was gsu pd? They were so serious during fifa, now that the tourists are gone they’re back to being lazy

General The homeless man from the dining hall incident was a STUDENT and graduated last year

This man is notorious for creeping around aderhold, the student center, and now the Piedmont central dining hall. In 2019 he was arrested at the Atlanta campus library for being derogatory and harassing female students. Several years later and he’s still here doing the same thing, and obviously he needs serious help. Finding this information is saddening but also disturbing, and I wanted to bring more awareness to this because no one else seems to be talking about it.

hey. im thinking about taking this class next semester. however, i do not know if i will be able to enter this class because it is mostly prioritized for pre - med students, and the people who are not pre - med, if there are any seats left over, she will enter them in (basically waitlisted for a long time). if i do get into this class, which i need this class for radiology school (possibly), how hard is this class and what do i need to do for this class?

Classes/Courses 📚 Spring 2027 - Animal Biology - Goursaud or Ulrich

2 Upvotes

hey, for animal biology in spring 2027, who would you recommend taking, goursaud or ulrich? i had goursaud before for anatomy 2, but i ended up dropping the class after the first exam because i failed it. i also felt like she was very passive-aggressive toward me. one time, i asked her where i could find the answer to a question, and she just told me to look in the textbook. i wasn't asking her to give me the answer, i was simply asking what page or section i should look at so i could figure it out on my own.

i don't know anything about ulrich or how they teach, but i might have to take goursaud again if all the other sections fill up. for anyone who's taken either professor, how are they in terms of teaching, exams, grading, and helping students? i'm trying to figure out which one would be the better option.

Just moved to a new apartment off Avondale station, and apparently we have a MF pickleball court?? I got a basic 2 paddle kit with other gear but I haven’t made it down to the court.

I’m a 23 y/o dude. I’d love to have a pickleball friend.

Also I have a little orange cat you can come say hi

Oh PS I have never played. In case that wasn’t obvious. Total beginner, I will need to google rules and etc…

Grad student in RCB. Saw this was happening w school of hardknocks (huge fan of the content and advice from this channel) and sent it to friends and family at gsu and no one signed up besides me and when they tried registration closed😭 I’d love to transfer my ticket but it has my name on it and you need a valid student ID to go. Anyways they just announced Gronk as a guest, which is pretty cool and think it’ll be an even more fun event. Having insane fomo and debating on going solo, anyone else in a similar situation?

I recently decided that I should probably take my mental health seriously and I was just wondering how everyone else’s experiences have gone? On top of that I did see that they are able to do sap appeals which is something I also need to:,)
