Is it OK to do a meeting with a professor on Saturday?

So I’ve been really behind in a class just missing a bunch of assignments due to some personal stuff that’s been going on which has had me feeling in a tough place.

I want to talk to my professor about it again. She previously already told me that she won’t let me remake the assignments since they are very late. I emailed her again on Monday and then when she never got back, I scheduled a meeting via calendarly. She’s an adjunct professor and a marketing Vp so she’s very busy. We never met on Wednesday, I rescheduled for Thursday and she canceled it just saying “please email me, I’m at work” and I did.

Later that night, she emailed back saying that yeah, too late for the assignments I’ve missed because she needs to focus on grading before the end of the semester on Monday. She did say that there is a “chance to end up with a decent grade” in the class. I emailed back yesterday morning just asking if there’s a way if I could get an idea of why that grade could be.

I also decided to schedule another meeting with her on her calendarly. I was going to do last night, Friday night but I missed it before I could schedule it. She did have Saturday and Sunday open so I decided to book for Saturday today at 2:15pm. I don’t really want to do that because I feel bad doing that on a weekend, plus where she already said please email her the last time I booked a meeting with her.

Idk how to feel. I have the meeting in 3 hours and I’m wondering if I’m doing too much or maybe this want the right idea. Could use some input.

(I’m a professional overthinker btw if that isn’t clear lol)

Is it OK to do office hours with a professor on Saturday?

So I have been trying to meet with my professor about my grade in a class. I’ve missed a lot of homework. I thought I had completed it, but I’ve had a lot going on and it really gotten in the way of things and made me not as focused as I should’ve been.

I’ve emailed the professor all week, she responded to my email last night finally but I still want to try to talk to her about some stuff. She said she’s not gonna let me go too far back to make up the assignments. I need to make up, but I was just thinking about at least maybe talking to her about my grade about what it might look like at the end of the semester since she said, there’s a “chance I could pass with a decent grade” according to her.

She uses Calenderly for office hours since she’s an adjunct professor who’s a marketing VP. On Wednesday she missed the meeting I scheduled, then canceled the meeting I had for last night just asking me to email her since she was at work, she responded to my email late last night.

I was going to book a meeting tonight with her, but I waited too long and all her availability went away for tonight. She does have options for Saturday and Sunday on calendarly so I put in for tomorrow afternoon.

I guess I’m just wondering if maybe it’s not a good idea to ask something like that on a weekend. I know an email would usually cover it but she doesn’t usually respond to my emails that quickly and I just really want to be sure that I can still pass since finals end on Tuesday.

Idk, guess I could use some input.
