And now it begins...
This is the last week of instruction at the community college where I teach. This means:
- Students who have not cared about their grade for the entire semester will suddenly care.
- Students who have not turned in any assignments for the entire semester will ask if they can turn in past-due work for full/partial credit (and as stated in my syllabi, no ).
- Students who have not attended any lecture since mid-terms will suddenly not miss any of the last two lectures.
Followed by, beginning Friday afternoon's festivities of:
- Emails asking for extra credit assignments.
- Emails begging to be allowed to submit those late assignments for partial credit (and as stated in my syllabi, no ).
- Emails stating I am the worst professor they have ever had.
- Emails stating I am the best professor they ever had and plan to take another class with me next term.
