Nerd alert
Call me Hermoine.
A session was left off the schedule for a class I took. When asked if we wanted it put back on the schedule, most of the class voted no and the teacher said he'd get all the information in the remaining sessions.
I objected.
Teacher and I talked. I explained that the course should include all sessions and an administrative mistake shouldn't keep us from getting all we're entitled to. Plus, it's easier to learn material in the proper time. Missing one session makes that more difficult. He explained that he'd take that into account when teaching and testing.
"You know, I've never had a discussion like this," he said. "Most students want less time in class, not more."
"I know," I said. "I want more homework, too."
