I'd imagine that if a lot of people didn't get the message, then there'd be a decent percentage of people sitting in the regular classroom, asking "where is everyone?" As that wasn't the case, you must be the only one who missed it. Spam blocking maybe?
Even if true, that means that the prof changed the class to different places twice in a row on short notice. That is extremely unprofessional.

Maybe if you paid attention in class last week instead of daydreaming over midget porn you would have heard that the room for this week was different.

This might be your answer:
bah, that's what sucks with today's students. They think they deserve an A simply for showing up, or simply for turning in their work, or simply for "being dedicated."
You have to earn it first. Dedication implies you do these things, but not that you do them well, necessarily. Your grade starts well below passing once you submit an assignment, or complete an exam. It's the actual quality of that work that determines the grade.
Far too many self-serving students eeking their way through the system these days.
....I imagine the majority of the hedge funders and CDS financiers felt they deserved an A for showing up at their jobs every day for the previous decade. I doubt very few of us would agree with that sentiment.

Other then this class, I haven't missed anything. Maybe I did just miss the in class announcement, however, I would have expected at least some hard written message as changing class rooms IS a big deal (Especially since we meat TT, so last class was 2 days ago).
I have a class with the teacher tomorrow (He teaches two of my classes, discrete math. Oh Boy). So if he doesn't respond to my email I'll at least be able to corner him after class.

Definitively not the case in this guys classes. While you are given bonuses for creativity, you'll fail if you try and rely on it.

Perhaps he had to cancel class on short notice, and wasn't able to inform anyone ahead of time...?
...although if that were the case, I'd imagine he likely would've filled someone in by now.

Honest truth: My Intro to Java class was CS 1337. I literally fell out of my chair when I looked at the catalog for the first time.
