Cancellation Policy

[Zellmer, Robert]

There's always a chance of bad weather during Spring semester,
particularly near the beginning of the semester.  I know what's suppose
to be coming tomorrow and Friday.

I will first say, OSU rarely cancels classes due to weather.  I've been
at OSU in some capacity for over 40 years.  In that time, to the best
of my recollection, OSU has cancelled classes probably about a dozen
times.

I will NEVER cancel anything (class, lab, exams, etc.) via e-mail. The
only time anything will be cancelled is if you hear from me personally,
via a Carmen announcement, or classes have been cancelled by OSU
(which you will find on OSU's web page).

If your TA is not in lab at least 5 minutes before the start of lab or I'm not
in lecture when it's supposed to start, please contact me via e-mail or my
office phone.  If you can't get a hold of me, go to 110 Celeste or call the
office at 292-6009.  If it's an exam and something happens and I'm not
there, please have one person contact me (via e-mail and calling my office)
or the main office.  Certainly, speak to a TA at the exam so they can contact
me.  Do NOT leave until you're told it's okay to leave.

A TA will never cancel a lab for any reason.  They are not allowed to.
These decisions will be made by me, the lab supervisor, the chemistry
department or the university.  As a matter of policy, TAs are not allowed
to make any changes to the syllabus or class requirements.

I do everything I possibly can to make sure you get every class you've paid
for.  In 29 years of teaching, I think I've missed fewer than 6 lectures and
someone covered those for me.  One time the lecture room was closed
due to a bomb threat.  I found another room to hold lecture and e-mailed
everyone so we wouldn't miss a lecture.   I'll be there or upside down in a
ditch (so please let someone know if I don't show up for lecture so they
can look for me).  I suppose I could have died but then I won't be too
concerned about what you do but still don't leave, go to the office to get
someone.
