I am asking for help from a student, not the teacher, because I know he is busy enough as it is. Plus, I thought maybe I might get better help from the viewpoint of another student. I was sick for about a week and a half. I stayed in bed and slept most of that time. I should have read the assigned readings but had no energy to even do that. So here I am, I have fallen so far behind and don't know where to start to catch up. I haven't done my midterm because I know I would fail it if I took it now. I try to read everything, starting from the most recent, I even took off three days from work to do this. Can someone please give me so advice. I have called the teacher, and it's been four day?? and nothing. I feel like a failure. Getting sick was out of my control...please help me.
