[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 948751, member: 2627"] During my senior year at GT I wrote for the Technique covering sports and our basketball team was pretty good. It was Tommy Hammonds's senior year and we went to the NCAA Tournament, losing to Texas in the first round. There were 2-3 times during the season where I wanted to go to away games to cover them for the Technique and had conflicting quizzes or exams on the days I wanted to travel. In each of those occasions I went to my professors, in advance, and offered to take the test/quiz a day early. Not once did they take me up on my offer but instead told me it was OK to take it the day I got back. Maybe I have an honest face. Maybe they appreciated my willingness to take it early which, I think, indicated I wasn't trying to just buy myself extra time to study. And maybe it also was that they were more concerned with one person taking it early and then sharing all the questions with a lot of others versus one person getting the questions ahead of time from all the others. But in any case they were always willing to work with me on it. Maybe it also helped that they knew it was legit because I could point to by-lines in the Technique for the whole football season and much of the basketball season already. Anyway I think sometimes you just have to get lucky that you get a professor that is willing to work with you AND you need to offer up options that inconvenience YOU instead of them. I think it wouldn't have been received as easily had I just gone in and asked to take the tests later. Also it may have helped that being a senior the classes were smaller and the profs knew me by that time. [/QUOTE]
