I have a student in a large seminar that has not been in class during any of the last attendance checks (I do occasional quizzes to incentivize attendance). The student has not completed weekly assignments since after the midterm. And the student told others that they where dropping the class. As a result, the student's group project team did not have any further contact and did not include the student's name on the final project. The student did not turn in a group project evaluation and did not respond to my e-mail about the missing grade.
However, after checking my roster and double-checking with the registrar, there is no evidence the student ever attempted to drop the class. I have reached out to the student via e-mail about this but have not heard anything, either. It seems likely that the student will fail (I am not expecting the student to show up for the final at this point) after doing very well during the beginning of the semester.
Does anyone else have any advice about any steps I should take? This is the first course where I am the instructor of record, and I am an adjunct, some I'm not terribly familiar with this department.
