This happened to me as well. Professor just counted my midterm double. Worked out swimmingly

---

Had a pot smoking prof in undergrad who let me do this TWICE in two different classes

As in, I fricked up and never went to class so when he held the midterm early I missed it. Went, hat in hand, apologizing repeatedly, he said whatever, I'll count the final double.

Two semesters later I did the exact same thing. Basically, I disrespected this guy twice, and he still couldn't give a shite. Let me count that one double too.

I have 2 anecdotes that relate to this. Not sure they will help with your plight, but they are rather funny.

1. Four of us lived in a house together, 2 of the roommates were in the same class. They were both studying at the house all day for various finals. One guy was in the living room, the other was in his bedroom. Guy in bedroom walks past us all on his way out the door "alright baws, I'll be back in an hour or so, wait up for me for dinner." and heads out. baw in the living room sits there studying. hour or so later baw that left shows back up "hey (fellow still studying in the living room) baw how'd you do on the final?" Still studying in the living room baw is like "what final?" The other baw is like "blah class 3001, the one we just took?" living room baw is like "What? that final isn't until Wednesday." everyone in the living room at the time is like "um, it is Wednesday" studying baw is like "what the frick? You just rolled out and didn't even tell me you were going to take the final?" and hauls arse out the door to catch the professor before he leaves. He had been up for like 36 hours on adderal and had no clue what day it was he ended up getting to make it up though. Lucky he had a cast on his arm at the time and made up some BS that he was in the hospital and couldn't make it to the final.

2. close friend in college finds out after grades are released his senior year that he failed English 1001. He's like I never took English 1001. Apparently LSU said welp, your fricked BURSA says you signed up for it and so there's nothing we can do. All A's and B's in every other college course his entire time at LSU. Dean would do nothing for him. He's like " what the frick? do you think I signed up for a class and literally did not even show up for one test, quiz, homework, lecture? It says I got 0's on everything. Does that make sense to you?" Deans like "oh well"

You are literally living people's nightmares.

I had a horrible time with waking up in the mornings when I was college, but still never managed so much as be late for a final. If you're not setting multiple alarms you are living life too dangerously.

I think you'll probably be all right. If you've shown diligence during the semester and are humble when you speak to the professor, I think it'd be a dick move for him to hammer you for a one-time indiscretion.

I hate teachers who put the last few questions on an exam on the back of a single page to save paper. A couple of times in college, I would get to the last page, answer all the questions then turn my exam in, never thinking about flipping the exam to the back to see if there were more questions on the very back page.

The first time it happened, the teacher just graded me on the questions I did answer and didn't count the ones that I didn't answer.

The second time was with another teacher. He pretty much told me I was out of luck and marked every unanswered question wrong.

Kind of pissed me off, but I tell you I never did it again.

Similar situation here. I would probably not have willpower to not let you make up the test, but you did have extra time to study in comparison to other students which is not exactly fair. It should come down to your reputation with the teacher. If the teacher knows you're not a lazy bum, she should let you slide. If she doesn't know you at all or thinks of you as a loser, she has no reason to believe you just weren't trying to find a reason to study longer than everyone else.

That said, I thought I had a good reputation with a teacher (2nd class with her; only around 14 other students per class), and she slapped me and this moocher with an honor code violation because she "didn't know who copied whose paper."

This thread ended about as well as your semester did

Get a time machine and go back and don't be a fricking idiot.
