He's not a new professor. The college is actually a community college, they do offer two year degree programs. The classes tend to be small, not large with hundreds of students. Most classes, I'd say around 10-50 people (50 max). Its a public college.

I think he is just somewhat lazy. Him cancelling class and not responding to messages makes me think he doesn't care. I don't put up with his kind of behavior with people I know outside of school, say, in social situations. If someone doesn't respond to my contacts, after a period of time, I pretty much drop the association with that person. I just don't find it acceptable. I think if a person doesn't want to respond, they should be honest about why.

I'm now considering getting some tutoring which is going to cost $$$ which I don't have right now.
