"Missypie, every college class must have a syllabus. "

This is not true. It sounds like something obvious, but it is simply not the case. Many teachers/professors still write things on the board for kids to write down. They will tell you that they move at the pace the class needs to move.

Colleges nationwide are hiring more and more adjuncts. This has always been the case at community colleges, but four-year schools do it as well.

Missypie, you might talk with an advisor who can give some direction to your son about which teachers are more likely to be flexible and work with him. They do know this information, but it is not something they will volunteer.
