Channel My Inner Rebel...

Political Science (ZZZzzzz) was my last class of the day, this fine FRIDAY afternoon, and I think only about 45 of the 200-300 students were present and accounted for.
Now, I don't blame them because this a core curriculum course, so many of them (including myself) are probably just not interested. However, I am generally not one to skip class just because (not enough of a rebel, I guess...
), so I was one of the 45 who actually showed up to hear our new (for this year...and therefore, slightly nervous) professor talk about Energy and Alternative Fuels, etc.
He proclaimed during the last class that "the notes for the remainder of the course would be posted online, so we could print them out and use them as a guide while we are taking notes in class". Now, think about this for just a second. First of all, I have only had one professor ever post notes online and I think that there is one main reason why. See, the second that my professor said, "the notes for the remainder of the course would be posted online", the rest of his statement was considered null and void to everyone in the class except for about 45 individuals.
It's a fact of life and a decision each professor must make. He acted so surprised
when the lecture hall was fairly empty today...live and learn, I guess! What's your prognosis? Do your professors put any notes online? Would you still go to the class if they did? I may have to channel my inner rebel and skip class on monday, so that I can pack up the car and head to the airport without being rushed...
