One of the curious things about teaching to me is that the school and other instructors encourage me to be rigid, deadlines are deadlines, but I keep wearing my manager hat and have more allowances in my classes.
I'll accept late work, as long as you communicated. I get that some things didn't make sense to you yet because you don't have all the context, and we can talk it out before you submit.
This apparently is weakness, I think it is human.

A pretty good overview of the problems:
When I was a Classics major, I had a professor with absolutely no concept of how grading worked. Every week, he'd give us a quiz. The first week, there were ten questions, and I got eight right. So my mark was 80%. The next week, there were nine questions. I got all nine correct. My mark was 90%. Another time, there were eleven questions. I got ten right, so my mark was 100%.
I spoke to him many times explaining that his grading was messed up, but he never understood.
Math does not come easily to me, but here I was trying to teach him basic arithmetic. It didn't work. Everyone had to challenge their marks every week. #math #numeracy #grading

Grading challenges compounded.
I should not feel like I need to drink to get through grading work full of conspiracy thinking. But here we are...
@jewishreader@sfba.socialThis is why procrastination is not a good idea: I saved a bunch of #grading for today and now I have a sore throat and my new goal is survival.
@TheConversationUS but when will we move past grades at the uni level? In my experience students either: totally *get it*, fully engaging with the material and one another w/ prof’s guidance OR *move beyond* class approaches, suggesting new ways to combine insights and channels for investigation OR are tired, overworked, anxious, traumatized, or prejudiced and remain *unable to converse about or mobilize* material or insights. No finer grain needed—or helpful. #education #grading
Too cool for school.
Enjoying the sunny April weather, here in the Forest City, even if I am in a death struggle with grading final projects.
@jessdkant@kolektiva.socialA #caturday story in 4 parts.
"mom, stop being dramatic and just finish grading so it can be vacation"
"wait this is what you do for like 190 hours after the semester ends? we get paid for all this extra labor, right? RIGHT?!"
"Suddenly I'm so tired... I'm just going to put my head down for a second.."
"It is impossible. The academy must be destroyed."
New video alert! This week:
What's OCIO, how to set up an environment variable for it on Windows, (very) basic photo development with AgX in Blender and a (very) basic grading procedure using AgX in Olive.
TL;DR: a glorified intro to AgX shenanigans.
