Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Today I was told by the college secretary that my form for the change of schedule was approved.

The most important part of the document for me is when the student signs that he or she understands that if the request is denied, it may be because the subject in question was not in their original list of subjects from the tenth week academic advising.

It also seems fortuitous that I told the students that I met yesterday about change of schedules only being accepted until the first week of classes, because that was also in the document.

So on that segue, I was irritated in all of the classes that I met during these first three days that those same students who were most pursuant of getting the classes they petitioned for were not present, seeing as their classmates were scrambling to ask for changes of schedule from the teachers to get the maximum number of classes to be able to take for this term.

So it seems that the laziness of knowing the teacher usually does not give a lecture on the first meeting of the class overrides the need to immediately fix their schedules.

Do they believe that their teachers would wait for them if they showed up in class on the second week and will ask that the class days and time be changed again because it turns out to be inconvenient for them? Maybe we should circulate a memo among the teachers telling them not to entertain those belated requests.

One teacher also clarified to me the policy if a student who was in his class list from the first day did not attend during the first few meeting, could that student be automatically dropped?

I told him that it's up to him whether or not he wants to warn the student about his impending failure.

If, after all, it's within the first four weeks of classes, the student can still drop if the teacher warns them early enough so that the failure won't reflect in their transcript.

But when does it stop becoming the teacher's responsibility and start being the student's?

When are they supposed to stop hoping against all logic for the entirety of the term that they will still pass the course, when they only attend the exams and don't even get good scores in those?

They don't have to consider the teachers their enemies, but they have to learn to help us help themselves.

Session 1637 don't want to grab all their opportunities early. Class dismissed.
