Polish off T4, send out the proposal.Complete referee report.- Draft up most of invited chapter 1.
- Start on the co-authored paper.
Do some admin work cleaning up our course offerings (ugh, but this needs doing very soon)Some plugging away at B2 would be very nice, but I doubt I can swing it.
Quote from: MarathonRunner on June 30, 2025, 04:51:42 PMClass ended two weeks ago for the compressed spring semester. Final exam was last week. Today student sends me their letter from accommodations, and student is asking to submit work late. Said letter says nothing about extensions on assignments (some students have an accommodation to ask for extra time on assignments, if they contact the instructor ahead of time). Sorry student, you sent me the letter after class ended, but even if I had had it earlier, it says nothing about asking for assignment extensions. I've granted such extensions to several students who sent their letters on time and had that as an accommodation. You did neither. I'm sure you'll trash me on the student evaluations if you bother to complete them. Being registered with accessibility services doesn't mean you can simply get away with ignoring deadlines.
I certainly benefited from extensions as a student after suffering a severe concussion, but my letter said I could negotiate extensions. So I do provide them to students with that accommodation, as I know how valuable it can be. This student is asking, after the fact, for an accommodation that is not on their letter/file. I guess they think simply being registered with accessibility services means they should get special treatment? Yeah, no. I provide whatever accommodations are documented.

It is very mysterious to me why failing institutions think this will work. Why would students pick a small no-name institution for an online degree when they could do one probably for less money and certainly with more course offerings at one of the big ones?
