Here is a typical day for me recently. A student comes to me immediately before or after class and wants to make an appointment to either discuss a previous test or an upcoming test. I ask what is the students schedule on the next upcoming 2 or 3 days. The student gives me a general answer ("I'm free in the afternoon"). I say email me and I will look at my calendar and schedule a meeting. No email is sent; no schedule is arranged. The student talks to me a week later and says he/she wants to set up a meeting to discuss a prior or upcoming test. I ask what is the students schedule on the next upcoming 2 or 3 days. The student gives me a general answer ("I'm free in the afternoon"). I say email me and I will look at my calendar and schedule a meeting. No email is sent; no schedule is arranged. The student comes to me a week later for a 3rd time immediately before or after class and wants to make an appointment to either discuss a previous test or an upcoming test. The student usually appears desperate for a meeting because a test is on the immediate time horizon. I say email me and nothing happens.
Is this happening with other people? Ken --------------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth M.
