Unfriendly professors

[MomOfMany]

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:

oh no! Check your school info. At the very same CC I reference above, there are teachers I know for a fact that are like you describe because they bank on a.) student ignorance and b.) that too many students don't read the syllabus anyways. When I withdrew from a class for this reason, the form asked why and I stated this reason. (If I had known even HALF of what the teacher changed prior I would never have enrolled in it!) In another class, the teacher changed things about 1/3 into the session and I couldn't w/d at that point without it affecting my grade. I asked the teacher in private email if I could please stick to the orignal requirement of the syllabus and the teacher refused. I went to the dean and he recommended the teacher let me fulfill the original syllabus requirements as otherwise the course was asking a commitment of me I wouldnt have made if I had known when enrolling. Teacher wasn't happy, but it was better than letting my grade suffer.
