<p>I generally agree with the comments from charlieschm. It would be nice for the students in the class to address this problem but all too often students are in a rush to complete their final exams, return home for 7-8 weeks, and often are just too willing to take the “C” grade and leave the course behind them rather than to take any action. I do feel a little differently about parents taking some action to address the problem. College is not HS. People are paying big bucks for a product/service to be provided and I don’t see anything inappropriate about writing a “letter of concern” to the Department Head including all the comments you made in your post. I suspect that this will not be the first letter the Department Head has gotten regarding concerns about the teaching qualities of the course Professor; and even if it is, so what? Actually University Administrations, including Department Heads, have been becoming increasingly concerned with the issue of consumer relations (if you have not gotten them already you will soon be getting calls/letters soliciting donations to the school). Having been a university faculty member for many years in the past (not at UD) I can pretty much assure you that your letter would not be totally ignored. And it may just be another “piece” to help change the situation for future students. I do believe however, that it would be a good idea to get your D’s agreement before sending the letter. You need to be united on taking this action as both the receiver of the service and the payer for the service. This does appear to be an exteme case and needs to be addressed. Just my perspective. Others might feel differently.</p>
