WEBSITE OF THE WEEK
FOR THE PROFESSOR
This site from the Chronicle of Higher Education is specifically for you, the professor. This week’s entries feature two articles from the Chronicle Of Higher Education section VITAE. This section of the CHE is aimed at a sympathetic understanding of what, you the professor, must deal with on a week-to-week basis. The two chosen for this week focus on what happens in the interaction between professor and student around student excuses. This is informative and entertaining.
The first looks at faculty reactions and strategies regarding students who have not purchased their textbooks at least four weeks into the semester. The second looks at student excuses for missing the midterm: the passing of their grandmother (again and again).
