Shoutout to lecturers who release their slides! Something I naively thought was standard practice in this, the year of our lord 2022...

I have actually received special consideration for work commitments so you are completely incorrect and again it’s “abhorrent” you don’t think putting a roof over your head is a valid excuse to miss class, especially in a cost of living crisis.

I also made no edits since you posted that so I’m not sure what you are addressing.

If you think wanting slides because I cannot attend class is unjustified and abhorrent you have a seriously skewed perception, you do you, I’ll message, demand the slides, and receive them like I normally do, and I hope OP did too, because that is the basic, courteous and expected thing. If you want to roll over and deal with sub par service and treatment, go ahead.

It is absolutely pathetic and elitist you think work is not a valid excuse and this really shows your attitude and level of privilege, so there really is no point continuing to try show you how foolish this is.

Personally I think you realise how foolish it is by refusing to answer your own question rephrased to you.

You continue to make things up like you can’t do well if you work and study, you are so wrong, just because YOU are incapable doesn’t mean others are. And guess what, you don’t always get to choose when you work! Do you even have a job mate? You sound like you’ve never had to support yourself or anyone else in your life.

Once again, I hope if you miss something for whatever reason, someone says, too, bad.

And it shows how great you are! wanting people to suffer because they got called into work that day and need to feed their child.

Anyway, to put an end to it, UNSW state on their website if you miss a lecture you can get copies of the slides or hand outs, so in fact, this is a case of a professor doing what he pleases, against what the university expects, and against the students interest. Not to mention university policy is 80% attendance requirement, so not giving me the slides for not attending 20% is punish me for being absent within the rules, which is unacceptable.

That is why I should get the slides, because the university says I should.

Good luck to you.
