i missed a biology test on monday and i called my teacher to ask him if i can make up the test, he said " were you not prepared for the exam? or totally forgot about it?", i looked at the teachers syllabus and it says that he will not let anyone make up a test, but if you have a written note explaining why you were absent, then he would let you make up the test. I told the teacher that i had a doctor's appointment, he said why didn't you call me before your doctors appointment, i told him that i didn't know i was gonna have a doctor's appointment and i told him that my dad just told on that day that i had a appointment. the teacher says he'll let me make up the missed test, but he said to show him the written note though. and he says it sounded like a fishy story. But to tell you the truth, i didn't have a doctors appointment, i have no choice but to lie about my excuse in order to make up that test.
why do college teachers have to be so strict on this manner in terms of making up missed tests.
The teacher will have to arrange the test for you (alone) and this will take his valuable time. It is not fair on the other students also because this way you'll have more time to revise.
It is really your own fault for not turning up. If you didn't have a Doctors appointment then what was the reason? :/ If it was something serious then just prove this to him otherwise face the consequences.

Agree with this.
If we miss praying salah, then we are at fault unless we have a valid reason. Same principle.
im actually considering to take a semester off from college because im being stressed over this one class, but it seems to be affecting my other classes as well, i heard that taking a break off of college helps.

why do all college teachers have to be different?
Why do teachers have to be so strict because if they were so relaxed about it most of the class wouldn't bother turning up for the test, and keep rescheduling which is a pain for a teacher
Because each teacher has there own teaching style and it comes with experience as well.
And lastly just forge that note from your father straight up get a mate who's hand writing is totally different and that teacher has never seen before make it formal and hand it in to the teacher. He's usually just bluffing he won't take two glances at the note or bother chasing it up whether its actually false or not too much hassle no problem Brother, but don't make this a regular occurrence ehhh
To my Akh's tryin to stay on their deen
It gets mean especially when u stay on the scene
And at the same try to stay out of trouble
But don't forget the blessing's in the struggle...
You gotta stay on your salats, your zakats, your Quran

Because college is not only about learning academics. It is learning the lessons of adult life and a cruel reality is most things in life are a one time event with no opportunity for make up or second chances.

It's right but they should not be too much strict as they just don't laugh at all . Instead of scolding she can say it politely. I would feel so bad that I disappointed my teacher and try to do my best next time. I feel so angry when she tells me that my rank is decreasing (so loudly) . She is my science teacher.
Back in college my biology teacher used to chase after students after lessons to give them missed homeworks and tests. Do you much rather prefer a teacher like that?
Besides, they have every right to be strict because they don't get paid for anything extra. It's not in their job description to supervise and prepare tests for students who weren't bothered to turn up in the first place.
