Just in case you were wondering.

I posted this thread the other day ---> http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018324330

The instructor hasn't caught up on her grading, but she did cancel the forum discussion assignment for this week a day after it was supposed to be posted. That seems fair to me although I still don't know what the problem is.

I just think she should let us in on a little information. Last semester a teacher kind of got behind in one of my online courses, but she got with the program and told us all what was going on. It turned out that her mother was very sick and in the hospital. I don't need details, but just a general idea of what's going on would be good.

believe me! But I found that even wondering about why they pull the crap they do, just aggravated me. I mentioned my son on your original thread...he graduated from law school and went on for his LL.M. a very expensive proposition...He had one tenured prof. who missed more classes than she turned up for. Even when she got around to letting the class know why, she was dealing with health issues, he found he didn't care about the why...he just would have appreciated an instructor.
