Hi,
If I miss a class because of any specific reason and attend it another day different from the regular one to make up for the lesson I missed, do I say “I’m going to my make-up class/replacement class/catch-up class”?
Thanks for the help.
Perhaps, you could say: I’m going to make good the missed class (lost lesson). If the class is a scheduled one for such absentees to catch up with, I think ‘compensatory class’ would be fine.
I can’t think of an adjective to describe the class you are attending to make up up for the class you missed and I don’t think ‘compensatory’ works here. It seems the only way is to spell it out in full - I am going to a different class today to make up for the one I missed.
I know that sometimes exams are referred to as ‘catch-up exams’ if you resit them, and that ‘catch-up sessions’ are sometimes available for college courses, so depending on whether those terms are in common use in your area, you might be able to get waway with calling it a ‘catch-up class’. It isn’t usual though.
If students could not attend the sessions due to public reasons (like breakdown/delay/absence of transportation etc), we often conduct ‘extra classes’ or ‘repeat classes’ to enable such students to catch up with the lessons they may have missed.
Once again, thank you all.
