I have a student who has missed several classes in Logic...
As may be expected, she isn't doing all that well.
A while back I canceled her class, thus reducing the in-class discussion of problems etc.. I decided to keep the quiz schedule intact, but to give a 'free' make-up quiz in class the week after the originally scheduled quiz.... it is 'free' because they can otherwise make-up one quiz. This one doesn't count against that one...
This student missed the first chance to take the quiz, but she did take the 'free' make-up --- and didn't do well.
Now she wants her 'free' make-up. She's already used up her only allowed make-up...
ummm--- no
Just because you missed the first chance to take it and I allowed you to "re-take" a quiz you never took in the first place, does not mean that you get another shot...
Life doesn't work that way...

I love when you tell these stories because it truly illustrates how poorly your student is doing: she expects her logic professor to do something...illogical.
;)
Sigh. Is she related to my student who didn't follow directions?
