I am taking a class right now for credit at a local college, to enhance my vocational opportunities.

Beginning of semester, the professor tells us his email address and cell phone number to contact him if necessary. At one point, I send him a text early on in the semester, to ask for clarification on something. He did not respond to the text. I then followed up with an email. I followed his rules for sending emails to him, which is, to put the course name and section number in the header of the email. Again, no response. Checked and double checked and tripled checked email address, it went through on my end marked as "sent". Never heard back. I let it drop and decided to forge on ahead with no answer to my question.

A week ago, had to take an online test, there was a glitch in the system that I needed to ask him about, and apparently other students had same problem when taking the test online. I emailed him about it, didn't hear back. Came to class the next day and asked him if he got my email, "nope".

He has cancelled two lectures this semester due to personal reasons. No makeups were offered.

Now, he had us email an assignment to him, which I did. How do I know if he did or did not receive this? He doesn't respond to anything.

Also, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but we started out with about 18 students, we're now down to about 4 students who come to the class on a regular basis. I've never seen that many students drop out of a class before.

Should somebody talk to him about this?
