From a student who missed the first six classes of the semester (in a row), Dear Professor, I wonder why I got a zero for the attendance and participation portion of the grade?
From a student who missed three classes (one due to rain), slept through several of those they attended, and never opened their mouth in class: Dear Professor: I am wondering why I only got 5/10 for the attendance and participation part of the grade?
No need to be sorry: MSW courses. But been a while since I last picked up a class as an adjunct. It seems like the attitudes by students have changed a bit. Or maybe I am just a bit “old school” in thinking you actually have to come to class.
