Late Work

Dear Techer,
I didn’t turn in 3 of my but it wasnt my fault. I had a family emergency. Then we had to go out of town to see my grandma. Then my friend’s computer would not print and I need to get my printer fixed but I’m working a lot of hours and can’t get my new printer until I get my work paycheck witch isn’t for another four weeks. But I want to turn in my work from last month. Because it’s not fair if I have no grade.

Dear Student,
You asked about submitting assignments 8 weeks after their deadline:
The syllabus states that all work must be submitted by deadlines. The course is built on acquiring and using skills: the ideas we practiced in week 2 are the ones we applied in the assignments for Weeks 3, and 4.

To help students understand that they needed to submit the assignments in order, so we can use the skills we learn, the syllabus states that all assignments that earn credit must be submitted on time. If I allowed you to submit work late for grade credit, I would be breaking the rules in the syllabus.

If you would like to write those assignments to practice the skills, I am willing to look at what you have done. By practicing the things we worked on in the second week in the semester, you will see improvement in your work. However, it would be unfair to the students who made time in their schedules to turn those assignments in on time, for you to earn that same credit for turning in work 8 weeks after it is due.
