Instructor is too nice?

I feel awkward that my instructor allowed me to re take two tests (one I missed, the other I failed). I have no excuse for the two tests, I didn’t study for the one I failed as for the other I just was too tired, and he’s still letting me redo them.

Should I punish myself and not redo them?

Why would you punish yourself in ignorance? Your instructer wants you to do well and graduate. This person is giving your education a chance,this instructor obviously sees that you can do better,or else,honestly he wouldn’t bother with trying to help you. Teachers know who they can help and who they cannot,they take chances on the ones they feel they can help,why show this person that you don’t care about your education. Your getting a second chance,do the right thing and study and get at least a passing grade on those exams,never ever pass up a second opportunity. When life gives you chances you take them,because the fact is you may never get them again. And the person who is helping you get these chances sees you are better then what you feel you are. This person sees your not a fool. Show your self and your instructor that you ready for whatever life is going to throw at you. Don’t punish yourself ,in the long run you will look back at t hat moment and wish to get it back and you won’t be able to.

I´m really trying to see your point but it´s hard.

Do you need the test? Do you want it? Or does it not matter when you fail it and you do another one in exchange?

Be happy to be given this opportunity and try to do your best this time as you´re given a second chance that not everyone gets. Don´t care about your instructor´s reasons. Just go for it.

You should care if he/she let you fail although you know that you did your best and that you should have passed. But this is not the case for you so whatever.

No, he’s realizing that you have a lot of potential but that you’ve just made a mistake. He’s cutting you a break because he expects more out of you.

Now, show him what a dedicated, smart young man you can be 🙂

We can all be lazy at times.

It is not your job to determine how you are graded. It is your teacher’s job. Be grateful and accept the offer.

I would thank your instructor and make sure you do not do it again.
