We need to meet [no, we don't]
Seeing more and more of this. Emails from students sent during the first week of class (or even before the semester starts).
Email text is something like: "I hope this email finds you well. I need to schedule a meeting to discuss this course with you. Please let me know a convenient time..."
My response, every single time, is that I'm happy to answer specific questions about the course after they read the syllabus and any other early-semester readings I have required for the class. There is never any followup on their end (thank God) after I send that response.
As if I need another useless meeting in my life. Sheesh. Read the @&@^ syllabus and get to work rather than ask me to basically read the syllabus to you individually.
Do other people receive a lot of these emails?
