The entire purpose of the syllabus is to be a guide and source of information to students, if they change it whenever, then it is pretty useless. Some colleges view the syllabus as somewhat of a contract between student/teacher and thus, take a hard look at teachers that don't follow their own syllabus. You aren't asking for an exception to any rule. You are asking him to accept your paper under the rules he himself outlined in writing at the start of class.Dude I am so jealous! One of my profs this quarter, whom I actually have for 2 classes, basically threw out his entire syllabus! We are like three quizzes off schedule and there are assignments that he skipped, and assignments that he throws in when it suits his fancy. I could pull my hair out. *repeats to self* 1.5 more weeks. 1.5 more weeks. milelol:
The teacher is asking all of his students to disregard his own syllabus, which seems like something a student has more reason to get ticked about than the teacher, at least to my mind
