[quote=Anonymous]Clear deadlines are fine, but definitely allow extensions for illness/emergency.  I see being super-strict as just a power move--it has no educational benefit.

Having everything stated clearly in the syllabus: assignments, deadlines, etc.  at the beginning of the semester so students know exactly what is expected when.   Set your policy then so that students know what to expect.

Also, make sure that YOU are keeping up with deadlines.  I know my own kid (remote schooling this year) had a lot of problems with profs not posting required materials (readings, recorded lectures, etc) in a timely manner.   She would have a plan for when to work on each class assignment, but if the info she needed to complete that work was not posted when it should have been, it made it difficult for her to get assignments done on time because she also needed to keep up with work for other classes.   If you are not keeping to deadlines, don't expect your students to do so either.   [/quote]
