Absence of professor disrupts grading system in speech class
Monday, December 3, 1979
The extended absence of a KU professor has created friction between students and speech department officials concerning how students enrolled in his class should be directed.
According to students, Robert Hamin, assistant professor of speech and drama, has not taught the past eight sessions of the class. Class in Persuasion.
Ralph Christofferson, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday that he has been requesting a leave of absence until his resignation date, which is effective at the end of January.
Christoffersen said Hamin resigned because of a personal emergency.
Tom Beisecker, chairman of the speech communications and human relations department, decided this week to grade the students on a credit or credit basis.
But some students have contended that their grade point averages would suffer because of the department's decision.
SLADE PUTNAM, Leawood senior, said, "I have a right to get a grade. I have to pay for my education. It is infuriating that I can't jibb ein GPA."

However, Putnam said he had learned a lot from Hamlin's course.
"They should have thought about the class before they hopped in," Gardner said. "I was getting something out of the class. The students were actively involved in the class as being setured."
"I sounds as if there weren't much learning potential, but I got a lot from the class. The guy was an outstanding individual. He was relatively popular with the students."
Alan Gardner, Overland Park junior, also said the class was worthwhile.
Beisecker said more books would be provided for the students.
Christoffersen said that students whose departments for bade more than one credit no credit course could make special arrangements with him.
