"Easter Survey...
I went to brunch with my Mom today (she's Irish Catholic, my Dad's a NY Jew - I'm a cashew) and she scolded me for making you attend a lecture on Easter Sunday.  I recognize that, although I am nonreligious, it may be disrespectful to ask some of you to work on an important religious holiday.  I have to admit that I was a bit "aggressive" in the reschedule because, well, because this section has pretty much won the award for apathetic procrastination.  I was perturbed that SO, SO FEW of you could read the Sondheim and post over Spring Break.  You had so much time.  Having said that, I do have so very strong personal (and sometimes even critical) opinions about organized religion.  I try to avoid any hint of prejudice in my classes but I recognize the potential.  At a bare minimum, I owe you all the respect that you deserve as "consumers" of our "educational product".  I meant no disrespect and I am happy to offer the following options:

1.  "Move On" We continue tonight as planned and let the cards fall where they may.  Art ins't easy.
2.  "The Day Off" We finish the hat tomorrow - I will postpone until Monday at 9 PM.
3.   "Finishing the Hat": I will record tonight at 9:30 (when a few of you said you'd be free) and the majority can watch the recorded Collaborate archive.

Please take the survey, linked below in red, ASAP.  I'll go with the first 20-50 responses, depending on the speed at which they are returned.  I do have a few midterm essays and 2 or 3 hundred discussions boards still to grade.  If you already got your full aggregate grade - yes, you will have midterm rewrite opportunities but, no, I cannot in fairness release the rewrites until everyone's work has been returned.  EVERYTHING will ABSOLUTELY be done by tomorrow night. I swear on the bunny!!!"

Could it be the reason why we have embraced "apathetic procrastination" is because you teach the class so poorly? Or perhaps  you are so disorganized that we have lost all sense of enthusiasm for learning when we don't know what the heck is going on? OR the fact you are an anti-religious Nazi???  At this point I have tuned your stupid self the heck OUT. So whatever you post a new lecture or whatever neurotic BS you write about you better believe I won't respond, or at the very least I'll tune your stupid self the f*** out. In conclusion go kick rocks in traffic :)
