Jeff Horton<p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>This apparently is weakness, I think it is human.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grading</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>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%. </p><p>I spoke to him many times explaining that his grading was messed up, but he never understood. </p><p>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. <a href="https://c.im/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/numeracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>numeracy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grading</span></a></p>
