Grrrrrrrrr
I am a little upset right now because my first paper for one of my classes is due sometime tomorrow. I have not started it. Not that I don’t want to though. The only guidance that I have found on the class website is a single sentence! I don’t know how long or short the paper should be. Unlike many of my classmates, I am not a professional in this field and I don’t have any life experiences that I can pull out and start writing about competently.
If there was any guidance on Paper 1 in the streaming lecture from Monday I do not know about it. I missed the live broadcast, it is not archived at the website and my DVD copy has not arrived in the mail yet.
I noticed that the discussion boards are lagging the past week. I don’t know if this means my classmates are busy writing their papers or are as disoriented and frustrated as I am. Sometimes it’s as if there is no instructor for the course. Aside from lectures (which, as I mentioned, I cannot also view), and one email response, I have not seen/heard from him. I do not recall that he has posted feedback to our discussion board comments.
I emailed him just a few minutes ago with my questions about Paper 1. Hopefully his response will come before tomorrow (even though the syllabus states he will respond within 48 hours) so I can finish my paper in time.
We’ll see.
