<p>Both your and your daughter are right to be annoyed about this. However, as others have said, not much you can do about it especially if your daughter doesn’t want you to. You could get the prof in trouble of some sort, but given your d is getting credit for the class, damages to her are limited. To me, a substitute of some sort should be in the class. The student is paying for an education in a classroom, not to simply read the material on her own. I am not sure why some think it is just fine for a professor to miss half the classes in a semester.</p>
<p>In my maters program in engineering, graduate level classes were critical to the process and having a professor there to teach an intergral part of the experience.</p>
