Anyone Have Professors That Do This?

English Comp class is Thursday 5:00pm (one day a week). This is Tuesday, 10:06 pm EST The professor just NOW posted the subject (online, it's the only way he'll do it for the 500 word essay that is due this Thursday. And this is the earliest he's posted any subjects.

So it's a constant feeling of waiting-till-the-last-munite, only we're not doing it, HE is.

Almost tempted to ask about it.

This was the first time we've gotten a two-day warning. Typically he posts the assignment either the night before, or the day of class.

I'm not trying to belittle this, but as you go forward in your college education you will be required to write much, much more than a 500 word paper. What they are looking for in English Comp is that you organize your writing.

I'm aware of this.

Hey Marie_LPN, to go off on a spin of the other poster, if you get to write about whatever you want for chronological order/steps, write, "Assignment Posting Procrastination, How to Write A 500-Word Essay in Two Days." lol :)

Wow, this is awful. I can't remember a class I've ever taken that we didn't get all the major assignments on the first day on the syllabus. My English Comp. teacher last semester would give us small 5-10 point assignments to get writing samples and help is with the section, but they were never more than say a page of free writing.
