Whatever supposedly-temporary situation kept students from registering at the appointed time has a way of continuing/recurring throughout the semester. Often students in this position need to take a semester off (or with a less-than-full-load), and recover from whatever's going on/get their acts together.

Then the school bumped our course caps. So I don't get to be nice anymore (not that I'm inclined that way anymore anyway). Also, students who are trying to get I to your class during the first week are either course-shopping, as with your Liar, or they are disorganized and didn't register back in November or whenever.

I've had luck reminding students who claim that my class is the only one that can possibly fit their schedule that they're supposed to be doing 2-3 hours of prep for every hour in the classroom, which should leave considerable flexibility in their overall schedule (at least if they're full-time).Contingent Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161652083031423415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-27277738763354211172015-01-30T13:12:20.080-05:002015-01-30T13:12:20.080-05:00I get this bullshit too.

It's more work but you get to see them squirm when you as some pointed follow-up questions, like, "What the fuck are you talking about? I see plenty of room for my 8 am class in your schedule."<br /><br />Besides this, how's it going?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-31938209433334446652015-01-29T23:12:01.832-05:002015-01-29T23:12:01.832-05:00@Wombat: I'd be glad to lend you my staple gun...@Wombat: I'd be glad to lend you my staple gun, after Ben gets through with it.
