Stealing this. Thank you.

At the college where I teach, a student can ask for an incomplete. If the teacher agrees, they have up to six weeks into the next semester to complete the course to the instructor’s satisfaction.

Nobody wants to fail a student. Absolutely ask for help and more time. 

I live in the Heights! Try Manolo Tapas, on Bway and 176th. Best! Tapa! EVER! (and great Sangria). And yes to the Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park. And the Highbridge!
