Hey everyone,

I did a semester exchange abroad and recently found out I failed one of the courses. The professors had encouraged us to attend the class, but they never clearly mentioned that not completing or passing it would result in failing.

Now I’ve emailed my professor asking if there’s any alternative option or way to make up for it, but I’m really scared about what happens next. If this failure gets recorded, it could make credit transfer really hard and might even mean I have to repeat a semester back in India.

Has anyone been through something like this? What should I do while I wait for the professor’s reply, and how do I handle this with my home university if it doesn’t work out?

This was also the course module, so you think it’s deserved?

  1. What did you think would happen if you didn’t complete the tasks? Failing seems like the logical consequence of not doing the work, doesn’t it?

    That’s very common in German, professors usually don’t have to state that explicitly. I’m doing my Erasmus right now outside of Germany, and I’d say it’s also up to each student to inform themselves about the exams and requirements of the university they are attending.

    We’re adults studying for a degree, so we should be able to research things and ask questions when needed before it becomes a problem. I’m still sorry that this situation has made things more complicated for you.
