However, one class that I'm taking, American Music, is  an online class, and it seems to me that my professor is very unresponsive to the questions that I ask him.  I've run into a few technical problems with the website that we have to use, and I emailed my professor twice to tell him about them - the first time about a week and a half ago and the second time last night.  Both times, he has not responded to my emails.  I'm starting to get really concerned, because there are already assignments that are overdue, and in my second email, I explicitly stated that I apologized in advance if I missed any deadlines, but I couldn't complete them unless he was going to help me solve these technical issues with the website.

I'd like to ask you guys whether you think that I should send him an email to let him know that I want to stop by his office, or just show up? I'm especially wondering because, as I previously indicated, this guy seems to be very unresponsive to emails.

(I've even had some professors that have responded to my email questions/handing in assignments on the weekends).  However, I'm really starting to question whether that's true for some people, for the reasons I've outlined above.
