[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'd let those kids take the test that day if they overslept. What's the big deal? [/quote][/quote] College isn’t too early for people to be held accountable for their actions & mistakes. When I was starting out, I was lenient about makeup exams, & once I’d allow one or two, word got around & pretty soon half the class was missing exams due to a dying grandparent, a flat tire, or diarrhea. Finally I instituted a “no makups for any reason” policy & magically no grandparents died, no tires were flat, & nobody got diarrhea. You’d be amazed what people can do if they are EXPECTED to do it. [/quote] +1 THis is true, I was a TA, and the lenient profs were totally taken advantage of. Kids need to grow up - and college is the perfect time - work time and the real world is much harder, and the parent/s will not be there to hold their hand at work. [/quote]
