It's left up to the instructor here, at least for short-term absences; I don't know how my department would handle a long-term absence, but likely, it would fall to the program area to figure out how to cover the classes. <br /><br />When I know I'm missing classes (for a conference, say), I arrange for one of my grad students to teach. They love it; they need the experience; they get to put it on their CV; and I provide the lesson plan (with the understanding that they are intelligent enough to alter it as needed). When it's unexpected - as it was a few years ago with my emergency back surgery - I contacted my program faculty and they kindly split my classes between them for the two weeks I was gone. But I remember the stress of it: I was in a hospital bed, waiting on the surgeon, and emailing people rather frantically to explain the situation.phd mehttp://probablyphdme.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-10005159874897032122015-05-07T17:04:04.115-07:002015-05-07T17:04:04.115-07:00At every school I ever taught at--and that's t...At every school I ever taught at--and that's three--it was every man (and woman) for themselves. Find someone on your own, cancel class, or just don't show. Your system sounds much, much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
