One of my stories

Public Voices thought this story, "The Third Sector," was too lurid. So I let Circuit Traces have the story.

Because I am old and cranky, here are some rules you must study and follow . . .

This is not a distance learning course. You do not get to mail in your work. You show up alert and on time and stay until the end. I am sick of having to deal with fuddled students who miss explanations and instructions because they wandered in late or did not show up at all. I don't get paid by the head, so please go find another course if you know you are not going to be prompt and present and awake.

Bad things happen to people who miss classes or show up late.

My inclination is to excuse absences  all or nothing. For instance, if you wind up in the hospital for three weeks and can prove it, I’ll try and find some way to get you through . But if you go on your honeymoon and skip one week of classes, and later in the term you end up in the hospital for three weeks, I might fail you in the course on the grounds that you established in the first instance that you are not a serious student. (You can file an appeal and see how far you get.)

If you come up to me and say, "I have got to skip class next week to [insert your excuse here]," and I reply, "Okay," this does not mean I have excused you. It just means I have decided not to abuse you in front of the class. If I promise you an excused absence, get it in writing or it doesn’t count as promised.

I will make an accommodations for a religious holidays, if you notify me in advance and we work on a plan for what you will miss.

Accommodations for disabilities

I am sympathetic, but you still have to bring a form from the FAU Office for Disabled Students.

Arriving late and leaving early.

Being late is often shows on my grade sheet as being absent. If you show up late, check with me before I pack my briefcase, so I may mark you as present but late.

The Web page for the course.

Near the beginning of the course, I’ll give you an address for the course Web page. If I have any messages for the class and non-confidential message for individual students, I’ll post them to the Web page, near the bottom. Check the page is not optional. 

E-mail.

In the subject line of any e-mail you send me, you must state "I am your student this term in PAD 6061," or I may mistake your message for junk mail or a virus. Also, be sure that your user ID for e-mail reveals your name, not some wacko ID like "Queen of the Night," or "Gonzo Websurfer."

Turning in HW late.

I want your HW at the start of class. Don't fax it, e-mail it, or snail-mail it, even if I say you may.

Failing to pick up work.

If you are not here when I return your graded work, I will toss it into the trash. If someone claims they are authorized to pick up your work for you, I'll toss yours and theirs in the trash.

Written work.

I want your written work to look terrific.  Use sharp, black fonts. Put your name in writing on every sheet of anything you turn in. Use no fonts smaller than 12-pt, and only use Arial or Times Roman fonts, because whatever you give me will be scanned and posted on the Internet.

Don’t turn in anything you would not wish to have tacked to the wall, posted on the Web, or duplicated for fellow students to study as a good or bad example.

Required materials.

Everything you need for this course will be posted to the Web page. Check the Web page for material added to the bottom of the page.

Class photos.

Hey, gorgeous, I know your grandma says you have an unforgettable puss.  But I need to learn seventy faces this fall and associate them with names.  To sharpen my memory, it is my practice to take class photos and post them to the class Web page. You don’t have to have your picture taken, and if you are in law enforcement, I certainly advise against putting your picture on the web. 

Even if you don't let me take your photo, I'll try to learn your name. But, hey, What's-your-name,  give me a break and help me to learn your name while beautifying this page.
