[quote=Anonymous]Be firm on deadlines. Maybe you can offer one “get out of jail free” card for each student to use when they need to miss a deadline. Do not let kids take the tests twice. More leniency for freshman, a little less for sophomores, and stricter for juniors and seniors. It may also depend on what the assignment is and how late it is. Allowing extra credit is a way to build in some generosity, though its admittedly more work for you, as long as you have a firm deadline for the extra credit. No extra credit for kids who blow off the class, find out their grade, and then decide they want to do some work. I like what a PP said about communication, so if you can build some scaffolding into assignments or learning the material, that will help them. Even at work we often have status reports or check-ins on projects. [/quote]
