The Syllabus
I wrote the follow at some semester prior to today, about no one in particular, while updating syllabus.
Please read the syllabus. The answer to your question is on the syllabus. If you review the syllabus you will find answers to this question and others. As I have said in many other places many times before, you can find the answer to your questions regarding course policies answered on the syllabus. The syllabus is where we describe the answer to course policies, grading, instructions on what to do in various circumstances, and answer frequently asked questions. Like this one. The syllabus is a useful tool for discovering the answer to questions about the course. Questions we have answered on the syllabus should not be asked because we have answered them on the syllabus. Piazza, email, canvas messages, office hours, after class ambushing of the professor and TAs, and lab are not the places to ask questions that are answered on the syllabus. so many times but it is not getting to me. Even if you think your situation is unusual, we have almost certainly run into it before and answered it on the syllabus. You will never make me crack. We have been teaching for decades, and get guidance from Above, and we answer the questions and put information on the syllabus. Every time you ask a question that is answered on the syllabus, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers subtract points from your final grade. Asking questions that are answered on the syllabus summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. Questions answered on the syllabus go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide. The syllabus cannot hold it is too late. The force of questions already answered on the syllabus in the same conceptual space will destroy your mind like so much watery putty. If you ask questions answered on the syllabus you are giving in to Them and their blasphemous ways which doom us all to inhuman toil for the One whose Name cannot be expressed in the Basic Multilingual Plane, he comes. The endless questions already answered on the syllabus will liquify the nerves of the sentient whilst you observe, your psyche withering in the onslaught of horror.
