When I taught, I always had to stress it was a 'lecture free period' *grin*. The students hated me for that, heh.
If there's only one class you can do a work-around, but if you're dealing with multiple classes, then yeah, the class that missed their lesson get stuck with heavier work, otherwise they aren't up to scratch with the other classes, and they haven't met all the criteria when it comes time to do the skills and knowledge checklist that employers and gubbermints like so much...
Blake's pictures are also rather..um, interesting. Whilst the last exhibition I saw didn't imply he was hearing voices, they did impress how much import he placed on notions of the divine, the golden man, and developing his own strain of mythology as the 'right' one, rather than just an inspirational muse. Such a fervent belief in the righteousness of something made up could definitely imply hearing the words supposedly separate to oneself.
With the Lit class, while I would have hated it too, (poetry is not my thing), was it only at the beginning, before they moved onto novels? (could it be their way of reducing class numbers whilst still retaining full-funding? An artificial way of standard maintenance?)
Anyways, glad to hear you've made your choice early, because there's nothing worse than feeling stuck later on in the semester.
