Does the professor have to put it on the syllabus?

I normally put that info on my syllabus, simply so it's really, really clear. I also discuss my grading policies at the start of the term. But no, there's no rule that says I have to put that info on the syllabus. I just think it's right. \n\nI agree that you can dispute this, especially since there seems to have been confusion on what her grading policies were, and you handed it in during the very class it was due. Not even after class, but actually during it.

It depends on the class. If the class has a lab and the information that comes from that reflects the labs results then you should be there.\nOn the other hand you are the one paying for the class what does the Prof. care whether you are there or not.\nMy husband was a Prof. at a major university and he did mark you down for not being there because he figured you took the class for a reason and how are you going to learn if you are not there for lecture especailly if it a class that is based on lecture.\n\ngood luck: you can argue both ways and loose

No, it is not legally binding, since, as you state, it is not signed. That is an essential element to most legally binding contracts. I would seek, rather than legal recourse, help from the school's administration. If you believe the teacher has ungraded fairly and using an arbitrary, ad-hoc system, speak to the dean of faculty and/or students and any other office on campus that regulates teaching.

Deemed university can set their syllabus on their own. They need not rely on any university. They can corect the answer papers on themselves and release the result.. \n\nI have answered what i have knwon if u come to know more than this, pls let me know.

I did this a couple of times in my academic career. It is a lot of work.\n\nFirst, you need a faculty sponsor - preferably the Chair of the Department where you want the majors to be.\n\nDraw up a request, a rationale, a proposed syllabus.\n\nIf the sponsor is willing, he presents it to the Dean of the school, then he takes it to the faculty Academic Committee for approval. This usually takes several visits, with reworking in between.\n\nOnce it gets through Academic Committee, it goes to the President of the College [some places also require it to be submitted to the Faculty Senate] - if the President approves, it goes to the Board for approval.\n\nWhile going through this process, make sure that every faculty member who might be affected, and certainly every Dean who possibly might be affected, is consulted.

Yes I agree. I'm in a computer class (duh!) and my teacher likes to lecture on and on and on about absolutely nothing. As soon as she starts talking, I try to check my e-mail. My grade in this class is good, but with all the lecturing, I might as well just see my way through the door. which is just in front of me. lol. I have to stay in this class from 8:10 all the way to 9:35 (but since it's a club meeting day it's now to 9:55!) and we have to read books! school policy to help students reading abilities to blah blah blah blah! who cares! absolutely no one (student wise) you'd have to be a true teacher's pet to want to sit through all that. So, did you get my point? lol

5) Oh no!\n4) Can I change the subject?\n3) Are they going to try to "save" me?\n2) How long 'til the lecture ends?\n1) EVACUAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!

Did you go in and actually observe the class, or are you going on things other people or maybe the students have said? It is possible that the school doesn't place a lot of importance on the computer class, so the teacher doesn't either. The best thing to do is let it go. Is anybody permanently damaged by this? Probably not, and if you keep trying, you will just look like a troublemaker.

I am an actual professor, and unless the student has a history of slacking and then trying to suck up, I don't assume that their intent is bad.  Anything specific you can say would help ("I never thought I would find Victorian literature interesting, but your lecture on Joseph Conrad's work made me so curious that I bought Heart of Darkness to read over vacation.")  That shows that you actually listened to what she said in class.  Most people get far too little thanks for the work that they do, and I'm sure that your professor will appreciate anything you might say.

It would depend upon the instructor, but I think it would be very rude to have a cell phone turned on in class.  Most instructors would not want cell phones interrupting their classes, nor would any serious students.

I suggest you start with the teacher who gave you the syllabus.

Is it a participatory class or are you expected to sit quietly and pay attention to the teacher?  Certainly not greeting the other students could be considered rude but aside from that I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

Duh!!!!!!  You should have learned by now, that anything your prof puts up on the board, or hands out is MUCHO IMPORTANTE!  If you have kept notes throughout the semester and have really listened to your professor during the lectures, then you should have culled from him/her, the notes, the slides, the handouts, the whatever, is most important in your professor's mind.  I should know:   I am an English Language Professor, teaching in Asia.\nHaving said that all, you should rack your brain!  You should read over and over all of your notes and handouts.  And next semester, you should take another professor's advice:  study every day, at least 30 minutes each class, whether you have that class or not:  know your material.  I can't stress that enough!
