[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you please email the students what the next chapter will be to cover, and maybe the link to the study guide? Everyone is gojng to have so much work to make up next week, I’m really worried about sleep/health as they try to catch up on the missed time.  I’m sure you’re all stressed about covering the material prior to May 4 or whatever.[/quote]

Did you not get a course syllabus? My 9th grader knows exactly what to read and prepare for.[/quote]

No, we don’t.  That would be really great.  We get week to week assignments in basically all the classes.  [/quote]

Weird.  My school mandates we post a semester long syllabus in the first week.  We have the option to posting the assignments in weekly modules and keeping them locked until we are ready to assign them.[/quote]

I have the same mandate. I post my quarterly syllabus (with daily reading and assignments for the whole quarter) as well as a more detailed weekly plan that I post each Friday for the following week. I also email out all of this information in calendar format. My students can already check to see what we are doing 2/4 or 3/19.

And yet I still get the emails: 
“Are we doing anything important in class today?”

One of my favorite professors in college gave us a complete schedule of exactly what we were doing each day of the class for the entire semester.  He also posted all of the lectures for each lesson online at the beginning of the semester(he recorded himself one year and just reused that recording and did the same lecture live each year).  He told us that anyone who e-mailed him asking what they missed or will miss got an automatic 10% deduction in their classroom participation grade for not being able to follow simple schedules and instructions.[/quote]

I wish I could do that! The best I can do is email back, telling the student to check the several resources online that would answer the question. [/quote]
