Prairie Dog Professor Pops Up Again

qosMy 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.
