Teachers going out of their way



Picture taken from here.

This semester I took an online class with online tests. I had a problem my computer or the technology with one of 15 quizzes, one of three exams, and my final exam. I was quite the problem student. My professor was patient with me, and he even gave me a chance to finish my final exam when my computer froze and the time on my timed, one-chance-only test ran out. He did a lot of work to allow me to finish the test at our testing center at school, ensuring that I couldn't go back to the questions that I had already done. This trust that I wasn't cheating (I WASN'T) allowed me to get a much higher grade in the class than I would have, and it caused my teacher to kind of have to rewrite the test just for one student. I am so thankful for teachers who have gone out of their way to help me with problems or just with the learning process.

Now I get to enjoy 24 hours of freedom before my summer semester begins!
