Where did that come from?

The first paragraph you wrote. And the others where you shift responsibility away from yourself and onto the professor. 😀

His Uni is garbage for putting him in this position in the first place. Also, if you can still do well there’s no reason you should have to go to class and listen to the other kids dumb questions anyways.

That's not fair. His academic program has a different schedule than the one the teacher is acquainted with and rather than coordinate to make sure he can get the instruction he needs when he needs it, his college has put him in the position of not making certain classes.

    due to a special position I find myself in, being a bachelor studying in a group of specialists (4-year program vs. 5-year program and teaching specialty vs. translator specialty), I have to skip some classes to make it to the teaching ones. I've spoken to the teachers of those classes, and their response was either "Well, okay" or "Oh, that's too bad!".

This was a solved situation that became unsolved through no fault of FbR.

I see it as a situation he never made an attempt to solve and assumed everything was fine. If that's the special situation you're in you're gonna have to put in special effort to make it work. Not be surprised when the teacher is upset that you missed almost a month of class.

You can see it that way, but your vision does not reflect reality.

This is a guy who wanted to argue the definition of a phrase he used wrong and why it should not mean what it does. I'm sorry if I'm skeptical

So long as you recognize the difference between "skeptical" and "combative."

I don't think much is added by pissing in the cheerios here. It's a thread asking for advice and you're basically casting aspersions.
