At my college, the exam dates were listed on the syllabus.

In my university, professors are required to distribute a syllabus the first day of class. While the calendar may be subject to change (snow days, hurricanes, etc), generally speaking, most profs have the dates of major exams noted at least a week in advance. However, your university might be different from mine.

If you have major problems with a professor, you should first speak to him/her about the issues you have. If you don’t get satisfaction with that interaction, or at least resolution, then the Chair of the department is the next person to approach. Do document your experiences with the prof and bring them to the meeting with the Chair. After the Chair, it’s usually the Dean, then the Provost.

Is this a new prof? He may be trying to prove what a hard teacher he can be. Is he a part-timer? He may be frustrated because he’s not a “real prof,” and taking it out on the class. Did he just get his walking papers? Not getting tenured or re-appointed can make even the mildest mannered person become a raging maniac (believe me, I’ve seen it). If he’s an older (ahem!) full professor, he might not be amenable to change. Old dog, new tricks, etc.

Returning to school as an adult can be very frustrating. It’s not fun when the prof’s behavior is disrespectful to the students and class. Shutting up isn’t always the right path. Sometimes Chairs have no idea what’s going on in the classroom.

Is anyone else in the course having problems with him, too? If yes, a group of you should go see the Chair. An economics part-timer was fired in my U because the ENTIRE class went to see the department chair.

Good luck and take deep breaths. You can get through this course.

there is plenty we do not understand right here. checks are commonly scheduled for an identical time period the type meets, in spite of the actual incontrovertible truth that they could properly be slightly longer. Does this kind many times meet on Saturday? this is predicted once you signal in for a type that you’ll manage different responsibilities round the type. If Saturday is even as the type many times meets, then having to paintings quite isn’t a sturdy excuse for no longer being waiting to take the exam. If the instructor has scheduled the exam for a even as even as instructions do no longer many times meet, then the instructor is faulty. As for something, you initially insulted the professor. you won’t be able to insult human beings and then assume them to be all respectful to you. This instructor is being honest with you- even if you meant to or no longer, you gave him the effect all semester that you weren’t attracted to his type. this is sturdy that you’ll carry close that you’re giving that effect if it is not any longer what you intend, because you are able to properly be doing an same element on your interest or in different instructions. I actual have a student in the present day who in many circumstances has a sulky, unhappy seem on her face. For a lengthy time period, i presumed that she did not favor to be interior the type. yet once i began chatting with her outdoors type, i got here upon out that it is not any longer authentic- this is only something about the way her face many times is. different instructors have informed me they have an same effect of her. Your message has made me imagine that possibly i want to have a communique with her. If she’s in conferences with an organization and delivers that effect, she’s no longer going to be dealt with properly by utilizing that boss!

fourth year in college. first year i went to university for 1 year. they are much more organized, will tell exam date on syllabus. second, third and fourth year of college, i went to community college and they notify exams about 1 week in advance. i may be wrong, it depends on the professor. try taking a better professor.

speak up. you are not a robot or a slave. tell him exactly how you feel (politely, of course).
