[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heard the same at our MS (just in one class though.) Kinda wish teachers would spend more time... teaching... versus going over these concepts that have a high chance of confusing students and that are kind of unnecessary... just give the dates assignments are due by and then say you get a 10% penalty per day (or whatever your rule is - I'm fine with it being worth 0% the next day, just make it clear.)[/quote]

So, don't go over due dates and deadlines, but go over the due dates and deadlines? Got it. Thank god you're here.[/quote]

My point was that the terminology and the insistence on it seems to waste time while also being confusing, as can be seen by the discussion here (including people saying that they sometimes use the terms in reverse at work.) Pretty sure it works better to give students a single date and then say that you have an extra day/week/whatever to turn stuff in for partial credit or have a daily penalty until you get to 0.[/quote]
