Hi all...
I'm just wondering what might be the most constructive way to respond to a student e-mail stating that the student was missing the first 6 weeks of class (there are 14 weeks in the semester), and could I please give her all the work for those weeks in advance. (I mentioned this story light-heartedly yesterday.) She was traveling for pleasure, she told me. Her other profs. obliged with the work, as did I. Yet I'm not so sure this was fair to the other students, since there is an attendance policy.
At my institution, the answer would most likely be "drop the class, and sign up for it some other time when it won't interfere with your pleasure." That would certainly be my answer, and the whole administrative hierarchy--including the dean of students--would back me up if the student like the answer.
sheeesh!
