Today, I went to class to take an important final for which I studied all week long and worked hard in class. Today, the teacher also told us that anyone who had an A did not have to take the final. I missed out on a trip to the Bahamas for this. FML

Hey guys! OP here! It stunk not going on vacation. From the beginning, we ALL thought we had to take the final. In the syllabus it said it was worth 30% of our grade. He's a new professor and this is a psychology class. I guess some type of experiment??? I was so mad, but I still have a 3.8 GPA to prove for it!!!

My mom always said good grades are their own reward. But then again, she has never been to the Bahamas.

Ouch op. Atleast you know you're smart enough! I think some people would give up a trip to get an A.

If your pulling down A's, I'm sure the job offers you'll get later in life will allow for many trips to the Bahamas.

Teacher played it right. Education and grades are their own reward. Getting off an exam is a bonus not an entitlement. But yeah FYL, op..

Better safe than sorry. If you didn't have an a then it would've hurt you. The Bahamas will be there forever

No offense to your teacher but she needs to learn to give her students a heads up on these types of things. I would have been so pissed.

Don't most teachers tell students ahead of time about exemptions and all that, I know at my school they tell you the week before what exams you have to take!

If it works at your school anything like it did at mine, you would have had to show up for finals anyway, you just wouldn't have to take them. It seems pointless, but many schools have to meet a daily quota for attendance, including the day of finals. At my school, we were required to show up for half of the day on the day of finals, and as long as we had a certain percentage in the rest of our classes, we could go home after lunch.

College is different than high school in that regards. Although we don't know for sure if this is college or an AP Psych class.
