[quote=Anonymous]Fellow prof and parent here. I teach courses in which certain assignments need to be completed before others, so it’s not in the students’ best interest to be too lenient. I drop x number of low grades (including zeros), depending on the course. For other courses, I accept late work, but with a 10% deduction per day. In the event of a true emergency or extenuating circumstances, I will be flexible. I find that extensions for those that are suffering from chronic mental health conditions is not in their best interest, as anxiety increases as incomplete assignments accumulate. It’s more important not to assign busy work and to make sure that learning is scaffolded. [/quote]
