And school hasn't even started yet.

I received this e-mail from a student yesterday:

"Hi. Im in your Psychology class fo this upcoming schoolyear and I need to know the books I need to buy for your class. Can you please e-mail me back with this information?"

First, find the apostrophe on your cell phone.

Second, um, every student needs to know the books he/she needs for the upcoming semester. There's this fancy thing called a 'bookstore' on campus just for that.

Third, I teach four psychology classes next semester. "Your psychology class" is not helpful.

I do not predict a successful semester for this student. I'll try to remember at the end of the semester to post this student's grade.
