Ah, Students
A student in my course on the Best Man Ever came to see me today for advice about missing a number of classes during the last weeks of the semester.
I pulled out the course syllabus to discuss the topics that would be covered during the classes and the assignments that would be due.
At the end of our discussion, s/he pointed at the syllabus and asked, "Do you have another one of those pamphlets? I don't think that I ever got one."
Yes, five weeks from the end of classes and this student finally realizes that s/he might want a copy of the syllabus.

Sometimes we lose things, or were too embarrassed to ask...
Sometimes we are undergrads with our brains in our hormones rather than our books.
Ok, I'm undergrad-bitter. I confess.
CM: Actually, this student registered late for the course. So, s/he probably never had one to begin with.
LD: As you'll see in my post, I thought that college was about books and learning. Wow, I really wasn't a typical undergrad, was I?
