scream of frustration!

Dear Math 124 Students,
 
Lecture was not cancelled last Thursday, despite the sign on the door.  I
apologize to those of you that came early, read the sign and left.  We
discussed Section 2.1 and took Quiz 1, though I will discussed the
details in lecture tonight.  I assigned only reading for homework,
Sections 2.1 through 2.4, which we will begin looking at tonight.
 
Hope to see you in class tonight.

I hope I have regained enough equilibrium by the time class starts not to cry, smack him in the head, or complain to the administration. How he handles this matter of the quiz will determine a lot of that, though. And the fact that he just now sent the email does not help.

He gave a quiz????

In addition to the Massive Apologies for this sort of confusion, a better approach would have been to discuss the quiz with a class, and make it some kind of take home assignment.

Feel free to mention to him that you know a community college math teacher who has an orange belt in kung fu. Especially if he doesn't know that "orange belt" means "knows just enough to hurt herself".
