I'm in trouble with school. It is a long story that I will include all points, in the hopes that some positive point can be gleaned and acted on.
I failed two rotations, passed two last year. (My school's policy is fail two courses and take a leave, fail three courses and are dismissed.) I took a leave of absence. I failed to input preferences for the rotation choosing program and was left with very difficult people. Before the school allowed me to return this year, they first allowed me to use the preferences program for this year, then reneged and scheduled all of my rotations manually. They were difficult with faculty, but passed them all. The last three, I did well in them (1 B, 2 As [The grading scheme is harsh for rotations at my school with competency a low pass].)
I failed this last rotation ambulatory. It was difficult The school is using the excuse that I failed the same course twice. Points of contention are:
1. This course code was arbitrarily used. There is almost nothing the same between the two rotations I failed the first year.
2. I have had a family emergency that has been salient this month. I feel that this has been a serious distraction, but I don't know how to express it and actuate it. The school knows about it, but ignores the implication.
3. The grading criteria the rotation used to fail me has several components that did not present itself at the rotation. I was told by the preceptor that he doesn't care about these components, only accuracy, counseling, and knowledge. I have suggested, and been granted, the opportunity to meet some of these components since the mid-point. These projects have been ignored and were not reflected in the final grade.
4. I have been alerted that the experiential office is notifying preceptors of problems I have had in previous rotations. This seems discriminatory.
5. When I took a medical leave during the first year of rotations, I was told that I would likely get an incomplete, as I was granted leave before the final grade. However, the school later gave me an F because they found out I would not be allowed back to the preceptor site.
I only have one month to graduate. I have offered to remediate; I have tried to reason with the former preceptor (though I don't think it was thorough). I have looked into an incomplete, school-based test, etc., but the school seems to have made up its mind beforehand.
I need help!!!!!
