After having read the email exchange titled, "Get Your S*** Together," respond to the prompts below.

Please note that there is no specific order to this response; you may answer the questions in bullet form or paragraph form as it is relevant. Keep in mind that the purpose of homework responses is to show what you know from reading the piece. Generally good responses are very descriptive, and should indicate to me as a reader that you ACTUALLY read the piece and you are engaged with the material. Describe your initial rections to this piece. Point to specific language and phrasing throughout the exchange which contributed to your reaction. To what extent does a teacher/professor have a right to demand certain standards of behavior? A boss/employer? At what point does a person cross the line with demanding certain behavior? Again, think in terms of specific language and arguments made in this email exchange. To what extent does a student have a right to complain as such? Does it matter that the student is a graduate student? Would you expect to see this sort of behavior at the undergraduate level? Again, point to specific language in the emails. After reading this professor's stance, would you take his class? Why or why not? Be specific. After reading the student's response, would you want to work with this student in a course group setting? Why or why not? Be specific.
