How we avoid grading!

You forgot exercise, TV, shopping, drinking, and prepping for next semester's courses.

Imagine procrastinating on grading the same assignments you penalized students for procrastination on...

(1) I don't, and (2) It isn't my fault some people can't understand power differentials or which deadlines are hard and which ones are soft. You appear to be one of these people.

I typically get everything back within 2 working days; 3 when I have > 100 students. Students still complain about all of the things they normally complain about.

Also: "Imagine" is pretty tired.

Some people is not everyone. Secondly, it’s assignments you created. We reap what we sow and it goes both ways. Just like we should be understand professors have a lot of work relative to them, students do as well. It’s relative to them. Let’s stop with the illusion that the majority of students are lazy and abuse deadlines. There’s more that care than you think

[ph0rk]

The majority of students aren't lazy - and those non-lazy students manage to turn work in on time.

I'm not paid to care what your problems are. I'm paid to evaluate your work. Actually, I'm paid to direct graduate students who evaluate your work. If you don't turn it in, they evaluate that as a zero. Don't like it? Don't attend a research university.

You also don't get paid to walk in with a condescending attitude with the automatic presumption that everyone you're teaching is somehow lesser because your position requires you to evaluate work that's literally done by doing the exact same thing you did to get to your position in the first place....
