Low Attendance Notification

Today, I opened my school email for the nth time to check if my lecturer has replied me. Apparently, I've had low attendance for a certain IS module called Effective Negotiation.

Dear TAN XIN YI CHLOE,

Your attendance record shows that you have been missing classes lately. We are concerned about your absence from classes and urge you to improve your attendance record.

Module: IS LS/ 1EN
Description: EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION

The rules of the Polytechnic require students to attend all scheduled classes. If the attendance record for a module falls below 80% - and this could include lateness to class - the consequence could be a debarment from the final assessment or examination for that module. Debarment from a repeat module and/or 3 or more modules would result in dismissal from the course.

Please ignore this email if you have already applied to withdraw from the course. On the other hand, you may have compelling reasons for your absence, for example, medical leave or duties at official functions. If you have not already done so, please submit documentary evidence for your absence at the School General Office.

You are also encouraged to speak to your Advisor and lecturers to clarify any doubts you may have regarding your studies and your personal constraints in attending classes.

As regular attendance is an essential part of a student's lifestyle, your presence will make a difference to the class!

This email is a system generated email. Please do not reply. If you are in doubt of your attendance records, please check with your lecturer or General Office.

However-

1. I've only ever skipped one class for this module;
2. It was the last class;
3. The module was over as of last week.

OH NO. I'VE GOT LOW ATTENDANCE. I'VE GOT TO ATTEND IMAGINARY EN CLASS THIS FRIDAY!!

Someone remind me again why we need to take something as retarded as IS please.

Thank heavens this is the LAST semester in which I need to take those stupid, time-consuming modules when I could be using the time spent in those classes resting or doing other projects. As if year3s aren't busy enough as it is already.

CONVEX tomorrow, MASINA presentation on Thursday, then it's off to churn out my 5 or so play scripts for BOOKPUB, then it's time to mug my ass off for the exams.

Rawr.
