Chem professor gave me some really poorly written dickish email... I'm not entirely certain what he's getting at, aside from proving to me that he's terrible at understanding English. The key point is that he's saying he won't do anything about the online homework section that was due prior to my enrollment from the wait list, and I take that as an implication he'll also grade me a zero on the quiz from the first week.
So I sent back another email, a little more clearly worded, with specific dates written in, and made my position even more definitive.
If he persists in being a dick about it, I'll have to talk to the head of the chem department. I should not get fucked over for a quiz and a homework section when I could not possibly do them.
