Don't you just love it when a Professor does not show up

to the first day of class.

Leaves a real good first impression.

Look at it this way.

FREE BOARD TIME!

You're an addict, face it.

Hmhh I think that was my first post in more then a week actually.

The class would already be over by now anyway. I was posting on some of my automotive related forums during the time that I would have had class

to the first day of class.

Leaves a real good first impression.

Potential reasons:

He didn't know where the class is.

He didn't know when the class is.

His PalmPilot broke.

The intercampus bus schedule changed and he his waiting on the wrong corner right now.

He forgot.

He didn't write the lecture yet.

He wais sick.

He secretly hates the subject.

He has developed an alergy to students.

He fears you.

He wanted to go on a picnic.

He was busy posting to Lit.

I for one didn't like it when they chose not to show. Test materials generally came from lectures, whether given or not. Hooray for the curve!

How can they test you on a lecture they didn't give? That makes no sense.

That's why we should all learn to make sense out of all that happens to us, April. Then we could dispense with being tested and we could listen to students instead.

Tests, after all, are just a quick functional way of avoiding having to relate to those who might just have learnt something from us and have something to say about it.

Ask them, I had questions tht were not covered, thier reply, standardized notes and tests. I thought it was unfair, but the curve probably corrected any misdeeds by them.

That is one tough lady that can do that. It still made me sad though.

I've never had a prof NOT show up yet.

They must all pack syncronized timex's.

I have asked the same question to a couple of my old engineering profs and they usually just laugh.

Nearly every engineering sylabus I have ever seen says that you are responsible for all materials related to the class whether or not they are covered in lecture or not. If something happens and a lecture is not given for some reason you are still responsible for what was supposed to be covered in that lecture.

It happened to me once. He more than made up for it afterward though. It was probably a scheduling conflict.
