The students who had reasons for missing class that night could have sent an email explaining why they would not have been present(that would have covered that). Those who needed or wanted to leave early could have just been respectful and spoken to the instructor before class began. <br /><br />Although they're paying for class it is disrespectful and they are being graded. It is not the instructors responsibility to ensure they receive the information they need for their grades; it is the students. That said, instead of contacting you she should have been contacting the instructor.<br /><br />An email stating, "I'm sorry I was not in attendance on XYZ night because of XYZ reason therefore I missed the announcement regarding class cancellation. Is there an assignment I need to be aware of?"<br /><br />Then it's left in his hands. Also one of the disgruntled students can maturely address it at the next class. He can then establish/set/remind any regarding attendance rules to the entire class.<br /><br />Okay, I know this is getting long, but one more thing: If I were the instructor I probably would have done the same thing. As a student, I've been on both sides: the young student and the adult student. As the young student I would have been too immature to be considerate and would have just sucked it up and had a zero. As an adult I would have already informed the instructor I wouldn't be there or needed to leave early. :-)Petulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246335892746223347noreply@blogger.com
