A/P: Students From Other Schools Fall Through the Cracks When They Transfer

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.

There's this engineering transferree. He's in my energy conversion class now (or was, we'll see), alongside the senior students.

At the same time, he's also taking up some freshman classes such as ALGTRIG.

But he's not in my energy conversion lab class. I thought at first that it was because he was not ECE but a Computer Engineering major.

Apparently though, he is the former. And he only realized in during the fourth week of classes (just at that point in time opening up enough with the old students about important and trivial things).

So he had to schedule an appointment with the director of the school of engineering to sort it out, because it was the registrar's office that gave him his schedule in the first place.

The director had to ask him first though (in my presence) if he was sure that it wasn't me or slacker co-teacher who gave him the list of subjects to take. Otherwise, the registrar's office would not have allowed the change in subjects (either the adding or the dropping), since it meant they'd done their job correctly (which is not the case here).

And since I haven't seen him in the lab subject the last two weeks, then I guess that means that he dropped the course.

I won't know from the lecture subject though, for which we have already had three missed sessions so far during the term because of weather disturbances and holidays (and for which the term will be extended by one week, making fifteen weeks total!).

I guess he really wanted to drop the course in the first place, because even though our first exam was just a review of previously taught concepts on electrical power and sinusoidal expressions, after the exam when he submitted his paper, he still muttered "fail!" as if expecting a reaction from me.

Session 2225 might prefer teachers who tell students not to be too negative off the bat. Class dismissed.
