I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated. I'd also be annoyed if I payed for the class and was consistently ready for class, but it was canceled. Have you tried emailing the professor? Maybe you can go into their office and gain the insight you need. Hope that helps!

Man that sucks. Oof.

I haven't tried emailing the professor. He's hardly ever around to get into office hours, and I work in addition to school full-time. I will try to contact him and see if I can get some additional assistance, though.

I'd try talking to the chair of the department if you can

He is the chair of the damn department. That's what makes it so bad.

Try making a study group of people in that class?

Sorry to hear that your professor keeps canceling class. I'm sure that is really annoying. Maybe you can you go to tutoring center and find someone who has already taken the class.

That sounds frustrating. Having teachers like that can make it hard to further your understanding of the subject and can make it feel like your wasting money and time. Have you tried to find online examples of labs being done for that class? Also is their anyone else you know who has already taken the course or is currently with a different professor? Also talking with your professor during office hours about the subject can sometimes be helpful. Hopefully some of these suggestion can point you in the right direction. Let me know how it goes.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this aggravating professor. I'm in my senior year and one of the the professor recently became tenure and has become even lazier then previous years. He called me on my phone to tell the whole class that the lesson was canceled after the whole class had been waiting for ten minutes. Good luck handling the situations, some professors are just more focused on there own work and ignore the students.

This situation really makes me sad, this kind of thing should not be happening. Either way, you can continue your study by yourself. I can provide you with the book report help at https://edubirdie.com/book-report-help that will make sure to keep you updated about everything. At the end of the day, your situation can be a blessing in disguise.

Yeah, anybody who has to go through this sort of thing isn't getting their money worth out of expensive tuition. Of all the things any teacher, professor, mentor, sensei, etc. can do, not being present is possibly the worst. A terrible teacher who is present can at least contribute to someone's knowledge or skill, but an absent teacher isn't a teacher! If I had been in your shoes, I would have escalated beyond the chair/your instructor, perhaps bring it to admissions, dean, student affairs -- anywhere to spread the news, not out of spite but to look out for fellow students who go to an elite school with elite tuition to gain elite skills and enhance their careers.

I would still try to find out if that is the case with that particular professor, and take action along with other students to pursue what is right, or change his/her habits. It really is a shame though, that anybody with an established career in a 4-year college would squander it in this way. I hope this doesn't happen to you again! Best of luck --
