Quote from: FishProf on April 29, 2024, 11:11:51 AMAbsolutely true. I was on the committee that tightened up the incomplete rules at FishProfU. It was the wild west.
We had professors that;
1) Gave EVERYONE an incomplete, so they had more time to grade; or
2) Gave EVERYONE without an A and Incomplete until they got to an A; or
3) Gave students an incomplete who could not ever pass, and thereby blocked them from repeating; or
4) Gave incompletes and allowed them to be fixed for years...
Now it's straightforward.
1) Must be passing at time,
2) Must have completed most of the coursework;
3) Must complete the missing work by 8 weeks into next semester (summers excepted) or the grade becomes a failing grade.
4) Extensions to the deadline must be approved at Dean level.
There was much grumbling, but the changes seem to have made incompletes the rarity they are meant to be

"Treat others as you would like to be treated" is entirely different than "Treat others as they would like to be treated."
I heartily agree with the former; the latter is a hole with no bottom.
