It is in my opinion a serious mistake to think that this was just a way to get attention. The GOP has a non trivial number of supporters and elected officials that want to do this and similar things as policy. I believe he and others (see my earlier post about Governor Abbott in Texas) want to and have done exactly this.
Quote from: FishProf on Today at 09:53:58 AMSame old story. Online course, all materials available on Day 1, all due next monday. Final is 40% of grade.
1/3 cannot pass, 1/3 will likely not pass, and 1/3 would have to fail the final to not pass.
Every damn semester.
I just sent out the pre-emptive "no extensions, no incompletes*" email.
*technically: no incompletes if they aren't passing at the time of the request.
