Should I file a formal complaint against my professor?

First issue: Sadly, not every professor is a great teacher or a great person. And at the college level many professors expect you to read and digest information from homework assignments – it is can be different from HS where you are spoon fed most of the material in a class lecture. If you are having difficulty in class I would go to the professor’s office hours or a tutoring center for additional help. If you think the professor is poor you will likely have a chance to write a review at the end of the semester.

Second issue: I think the professor was being very reasonable in allowing you to submit all or any part of the assignment that is completed before class is over. I don’t think the professor was making any judgement on your reason for missing class but rather he/she was explaining why the policy is in place. I’m sorry for your loss, but I see no reason to complain.
