Critical thinking skills

Michael teaches an upper-level economics course. A student emailed him that she was going to have hand surgery in the next couple of weeks and wondered what she could do to ensure she didn't fall behind.

He went into great detail about reading ahead, learning to use a computer mouse with the opposite hand, working now on the case study due in a couple of weeks, etc.

Really? Shouldn't a college-level student be able to use her vast critical thinking skills to figure this one out on her own?
