ginger-gal:

Talked to my cousin who’s in the same class and he said she mentioned the requirement a few times. So basically I’m just stupid and can’t hear.

It really sucks, but know that you are not alone.  This semester, my advisor set me up with a “study buddy” because I was struggling a bit.  The first time I met with her, we worked on a take-home exam because I just didn’t hear or understand that it had to be individual work.  Seems obvious, but…yeah, that happened.  (In my defense, when I did my undergrad sometimes we were allowed to work together on take-homes).  

Then I emailed the prof to say “So and so and I are working on the exam and a couple things are unclear” and he was like “…what?” and I had to take a hefty reduction or face a disciplinary committee.  So anyway, sometimes no matter how good a student you are, you mishear things that are super important.  At least it will probably never happen again.
