Things that make you go... HUH?
Some student complained recently that a deadline we had on Wednesdays was just too much for his/her schedule. He/she had other things to do that day... blahblahblah.
BUT what I'm wondering is, um, then why didn't the student do the homework on TUESDAY or MONDAY? Like, they know they don't HAVE to do the homework on the due date, right?This is why I have a hard time moving my deadlines with online classes; every semester students say I should move my Saturday deadlines to Sunday. Before they were on Saturday, they were on Friday nights, and I got asked to move them back so students would "have more time." But, um, they already have A WHOLE WEEK to do the homework. And my courses online never had "closed" sections, so they could totally work ahead.Yeah.This all makes me go "huh"?
