If I were a student, I'd be disappointed.<br /><br />Instead, I think you should consider it your responsibility to find alternative guest lecturers. Maybe one of the other profs can fill in for you while you are travelling (in exchange for you filling in for them when they are travelling). Maybe you can find someone interesting from industry or from outside the university to give a guest lecture.<br /><br />The fact that you have a good excuse for travelling doesn't change my views on this.<br /><br />Anyway, that's my two cents.ACSProfessornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-12207764480017413152011-09-16T10:06:30.071-04:002011-09-16T10:06:30.071-04:00Some classes in the Extension school have both liv...Some classes in the Extension school have both live and video lectures.
