It’s a week from midterms at my school and the instructor for one of my engineering courses still hasn’t given us a syllabus. She told us she “keeps forgetting to post it,” but now I’m beginning to worry about the outcome of my grade in this class. She told us at the beginning of the semester that attendance is mandatory, but without a syllabus I have no idea how it affects my grade. We have “assignments” that are posted on Canvas and it’s a 50/50 chance whether those are actual, graded assignments or just announcements she wants to make a priority. I have no idea when her office hours are (i think she said her office hours “come and go”), if we have tests, how much our assignments are worth or if it’s a pass/fail or regular course. I can’t drop the class because I’ll lose my scholarship due to lack of hours if I do. What should I do/who should i go to?

***Also, I found out on my school’s website that the syllabus is considered a contract and must be given to students as a physical copy and on their Canvas page.
