Hi
I am currently in high school and I’m registered for dual enrollment at my local community college during the summer. But I’m going on a very important trip, that I’ve already planned at the start of class, therefore I will be missing the first two days of this class (English Compostion 1). What will happen when I miss these days, will I miss a lot or not much? I asked someone who has went to the same college a while ago and she said that its not good to miss the first day of classes. But if I email my teacher in advance, stating the reason why i won’t be there is that okay? Please I need to know if this will ruin my grade in the class or not. And if its better for me to just take the class online instead.
Looking forward to your response Thanks
If possible, introduce yourself to the teacher in person before you leave on your trip. If that is not possible, try to call. On something like this, personal contact is better IMO than email. Explain your circumstances. Ask her if there is an assignment that you can complete before you leave.
Many teachers would be fine with this, as long as they know in advance.
