Professor here, if you have missed class, please come back. We aren’t mad at you.

I don't want to be a bother, I feel guilty for missing class. I never ask my professors what I missed, which leads to me dreading the next class. At that point I may not show up again.

I've had one professor save me from this fate. He sent emails with a brief description of what was covered in class to students who didn't show. He would also provide information on assignments due for next class. I suppose that if I were to email my professors each time I missed, they'd give me the same rundown. Either way, I found that so helpful.

I've never had an issue with getting things done. It's always been an issue of letting myself get behind when choosing to be in the dark.

I've withdrawn from too many classes for these reasons, classes that I had decent grades in. Missing 2-3 classes meant it was game over for me, I couldn't handle the impending doom which never even existed.

I've been in school for about 6 years now. I've quit two universities, and I still don't have a 4 year degree (studied design). I decided to go back to CC and try for a networking degree this spring. My parents are paying out of pocket because I maxed out my federal loans and I still haven't made any money. At this point I have no choice but to never miss class... today I almost missed, I haven't slept because I'm just a fucking wreck. Fortunately we had a snowday.

Thank you for sharing your point of view. I'll try to keep this in mind in the event that I do end up in a hole.
