The most annoying part is not only that not covered material thing, but also when you miss class and it's an excused absence, but professors still count off. I had a professor take off my final grade because I went to my grandma's funeral.
Your parents need a real hobby. I wouldn't consider stalking and overbearing paternalism a real hobby. :P Either that or they need a pet. One that requires a lot of attention. Several pets would actually be great. Get them several dogs for Christmas! XD

Did you explain the situation to your professor? If they still took off points for that even though you went to your grandma's funeral, I'd go to the dean with that one. Most offices will understand a day taken off for grievances.

At least until I explained it again and she fixed the grade back up.
Well, at least she fixed it. Doesn't make sense that when the professor has hospitalization or deaths in the family, it's okay for them not to be there, but if that happens to the student, "oh well, too bad?" That's not right.
