This is the end of the 2nd week of the Spring semester. A small handful of students do not have prereqs on file, so must pass a pretest to remain in the class. I notified them LAST week that tonight was the deadline to take the pretest. (Next Tues is the deadline for schedule changes)
What do I have in my email this morning?
"I tried to get the day off at work so I could take my pre test but I could not get it. Is it okay if I come in and take it tomorrow morning?"
Even in my syllabus, I have it in writing not to wait until the last day to take ANY tests--something ALWAYS happens!
Then there's this one from this afternoon:
"I was wondering if you could tell me what my grade isI know we haven't done much but my dad is curious and it would make him feel a lot better if he knew. If you could respond as soon as possible that would be wonderful."
Let's see, Monday the 16th was a holiday, and I had to cancel the 23rd due to a family emergency, so we have met exactly 2 times.....
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!
somebody please put me out of my misery!!
