I just Surled at a student who, in essence, e-mailed me after being absent for 5 weeks to say, "Did I miss anything?"
Was shocked, of course, that he won't be passing the course.
Actually, I didn't Surl. I kept it within, which may not be good. But now you all know, and I feel better.

Perhaps we can share Top Surl. My student came to class every week, but didn't hand in 85 percent of the work--even after I granted her unprecedented extensions. I first told her to drop the course, and when it was too late to do that, I begged her to withdraw. Now, of course, she wants an Incomplete.
