and in my other class, the instructor pushed an assignment's due date back a week. the impetus for this: a student claimed to be waiting for articles. now, we've known about this thing since the beginning of the semester. we need five articles on a library-management-related topic. this student, who works and goes to school in a library, couldn't find five articles in the almost two months she's known about the assignment? please. if i ever become a professor, due dates will be written in
stone, rather than in water (like keats' name.) quotation from a different syllabus: "poor time management is never a valid excuse."
