Recap

After a grueling month of incessant grading, I finally made it through the semester. Here is a list of things that I learned:

  1. A firm late policy is necessary for all assignments.
  2. Assignments submitted via email should be penalized slightly to discourage it
  3. Plagiarism and copying should not be tolerated and the school's plagiarism policies should be included in the syllabus.
  4. Make-up style assignments should be work for the students, not for me.
  5. My grading style was too kind to lab reports that adhered to the required format but poorly analyzed the data.
  6. The rubric I made was too detailed and its function was lost in its length.
So, students, you have just made your lives worse. Hrm hrm hrm hrm ha ha ha haaa
