I was taking Politics of South Asia the other semester and our professor left for China about three weeks into the course. He didn't tell anyone that he was leaving and it wasn't a planned trip, so there was nobody to cover the class for about a month. He came back in late April, about three weeks from the end of the term, and spent the rest of our time telling us about his trip. The final was about his time in China, but I don't think he bothered grading them. I got an A.
