**If the pain is that bad, the student should visit a doctor to get some medication.  In that case they would have a doctor's note that they could use as proof.  If they have a doctor's note then the absence should be approved, because it shows that they are taking the steps to solve the problem in the hopes that it doesn't happen again next month.  In the professional world, a person would not be able to miss a week of work every month because of this issue, so it needs to be resolved now while they are still in college.

Case 6: Female Issue

Class Absence Excuse Discussion, ECE400, Spring 2012


A female student misses class because of excruciating menstrual pain that is not relieved by medicine. She wants to be excused.


  • Shicheng Guo, Response
    • I was going to say this is not an excuse, but according to a nearby female, guys just don't understand. So I changed my mind, and I believe that any time any female even mentions menstrual pain, it should automatically excuse her from anything, including murder.
