<p>These funerals were all on Friday mornings because members of his church had died and I guess that’s when they did the funerals.We were all joking about it - how could one person know so many people who died and planned the funeral for 10 on Friday, and then someone explained they were church members. If you want to attend church functions on Friday mornings, don’t schedule to teach a class then. This was law school and there are no TAs. Missing that many sessions of a required class (required for students) who pay for it is unfair to the students. He then either rushed through the rules of evidence, combining two classes into one, or just told us to study the missed work on our own. Gee, if I wanted to learn on my own I could have done the Abe Lincoln thing and skipped law school and saved the tuition money. One miss? Sure, everyone has an emergency occasionally but not 3 Fridays out of 10 or 12. I really don’t think these were close family members because it was always just a “can’t be here Friday so class is cancelled” told to us on Wednesday. At least we did get advanced notice.</p>
<p>I liked getting a ‘snow day’ off for a class when I was an undergrad (especially if it was beautiful and not snowing) but when I was paying for 30 classes, I expected 30 classes. I also remember this prof giving a Monday lecture when there were a lot of people missing because it was opening day of baseball, so he gave the same lecture on Wed. Those of us there both days basically were penalized because we didn’t move forward. Just a lot of wasted time in his class. Wasted money too.</p>
