Sorry, you're right, I must not have read it right. HILARIOUS, PERFECT in context, and just flat out BRILLIANT!

Re: Forgot exam date, make up excuse or take it?
 

actually this has happened to me about a couple weeks ago. im a senior and am taking a 100 level astronomy course and had a wedding i was gonna be in on saturday and didnt check the schedule and missed it completely. test is worth 10% of total grade, i'll still end up gettin an A in the class.

just man up and accept the consequences

Re: Forgot exam date, make up excuse or take it?
 

Take it the next morning

reasoning:

you haven't been to class in about a month: likelihood of professor letting you get away with excuse = 60% (if it's a really good excuse)

Expected Grade if you take exam at 10:30 = 75

Expected grade if you postpone exam = 95

Utility associated with 75 = -20

Utility associated with 95 = +25

Utility associated with 0 = -90


Suck it up >=< Make Excuse
(-20)1 >=< (+25)(.40)+(-90)(.60)
-20 > -44

Looks like you'll be unhappy either way, but i say suck it up and take it in the morning

If I was the Professor, I wouldnt let you off the hook after missing a month of class.

Yeah, this is where you're screwed. Professor's generally have no problem helping you out if they think you're putting forth the effort. If you haven't been to the classes in a month, good luck getting your excuse to fly, whatever it would be. The only sure-fire way to get out of it would be to do something to put yourself in the hospital the day of.
