“Kind advice”

A student emailed yesterday to “kindly advise” me to use PowerPoints and then post the PowerPoints on Canvas.

This is not even a lecture class! Am I supposed to guess their discussion ahead of time and put it on a slide for them so they don’t have to think of it themselves?

It wasn’t even phrased as a request, but as an order from a “trying to be nice” boss. The sheer nerve of this student is infuriating.
