v drop without penalty. What should I do?
r/CUNY
My biology professor is quite old and old fashioned and is anti-computer. He doesn't use Blackboard,
he said he doesn't use his CUNY email, and didn't get any of our emails. He did give us his personal An online Meet-up for CUNY students to
email, which I did message him but got no response. discuss what ever it is you wish to discuss!
Tomorrow is the last day to drop without penalty. I don't know how I'd do my labs virtually if he did 4.5k 33
decide to go virtual, but I'm not sure what's going on. What if he fails the class??? Members Online
Also, my school (Laguardia) says the school is open for labs? I don't want to go in for labs. We shouldn't
be outside.

I'm so confused. Class starts TOMORROW. All 4 of my other classes are doing Zoom.
Anyone else have professors not reach out? Anyone have a science professor reach out and explain the Create Post
lab situation?

Title
"My professor has provided no contact, and tomorrow is the last day to drop without penalty. What should I do?"
Description
Posted on March 18, 2020, this Reddit thread documented the perspective of a struggling student at CUNY's LaGuardia Community College during the Covid-19 pandemic. Unable to reach their professor via email ahead of the original deadline to drop classes during the Spring 2020 semester, the student sought support from fellow City University of New York (CUNY) students and asked for advice on how to proceed.

Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.

I asked her a question on Wednesday on how things were gonna be and our assignments. The next's day she dinnt respond but she uploaded an assignment on blackboard but it wasn't clear so i had to email her another question and its not due till next's Tuesday. In case she doesn't respond what can I even do I figured the college is closed meaning the chairmen would`t help me out
