It's In the Syllabus

I spend a lot of time to write A syllabus for class: These are the rules, the dates of tests, The points you need to pass. I even make a video Where I sit and explain What’s written in the syllabus So that they can’t complain. I make a lovely website, too, With all the files. They can Find schedules, homework, old exams, Who teaches where and when. Yet nonetheless, the emails come. “When is the homework due?” “I heard there are no labs this week. Say, is this really true?” “I did not know there was a quiz. Please, can I take it late?” “When is my lab?” “We have a test? I cannot make the date!” It drives me nuts. They did not read. I feel the urge to yell – Of course, that’s unprofessional, And so I simply tell The student: “In the syllabus It states, right on page two …” And quote the lines – because, what else Am I supposed to do? 5/9/2017 For contest What annoys you Sponsored by Frank Herrera
