Prairie Dog Professor Pops Up Again

[qos]

My online professor reappeared yesterday -- the day after the program director and the dean both promised me they would be having a talk with him. He has not yet responded to student discussion posts, but he has posted the lectures that have been missing for more than a month.

He sent us an email apology, and explained that he "has a hard time writing for more than three hours a day" and this class had not been his only writing activity. As some of you have already pointed out, that excuse would never be accepted from a student.

I'm glad to have him back. It's hard to have a graduate school class without a professor. But I'm waiting to see if he actually makes a significant contribution beyond the lectures.

We are not impressed.

professors can be such do as I say not as I do and get away with it for the most part.

In other news Hi how are you doing. Long time no talk.

Hi Coop --

Other than the frustrating Prof. X, things are going well: grad school classes are interesting, and I have a long-term temp job, reasonable health, a healthy and happy kid, and new friends on LiveJournal.

I don't know the details of what happened, but I have a sense of it, based on what she told me and the few conversations you and I had about your relationship with her in general.

You're welcome to drop by, but don't expect me to take sides against her.

You're welcome to drop by,
That is good. I real like the time hang out with when you came up. You are fasinating person to speack with.

but don't expect me to take sides against her.

No sides. I am not about that. She is what she is. If she does not want me in her life I have to be ok with it. I just hope things are good for her. I check her LJ to see if she is doing ok. I have some friends down there close to where she is at. They let me know how she is doing. I worry about her. I guess I just care even though people I know that know her say I should not.
