Can I Handle This Accelerated Semester Overlap?

This is finals week. Finals go until Thursday. Grades are due on Tuesday the 18th.

From my inbox:

1. Hello. I am will be in your class next semester. I will be in the Calculus Circus. I was wondering if you could tell me what books I would be needing? Thank you very much for your time!


2. Hello, my name is Stu Dent and I am currently enrolled in one of your classes next semester. I wanted to make you aware that I have a scheduling problem with school and work for a short time. I have to be in Charlotte, North Carolina from January 7 through 18 for a business trip and I must miss the first two weeks of class. Please let me know if there is any work that I must complete for you before that time. I appreciate your cooperation, Stu.


3. I have a question I would really like to be in your math class but it says that I need to get approval from [some office on campus that has nothing to do with the class] and I do not know how to do that. So I was wondering if you could tell me, thank you.
