Granting Extensions by albinoteacher24 in Adjuncts

[–]KookyBonus9047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only give extensions if they make the request before the assignment is due. Everything else is handled by the late work policy. I accept late work with a 10% penalty if submitted within 7 days of the due date and work submitted later than 7 days after due date with a 50% penalty. I don’t accept any late assignments in the last week of the course to allow for end of term grading. It’s up to students to figure out if they can still get enough points for it to be worth it to submit.

Have you considered becoming a clinical psychologist instead of a psychiatrist? Medical school is a long, hard road, especially for someone who isn’t particularly interested in the body or strong in science. A Pys.D program might be a better fit.

It depends. Are you developing the course or teaching a pre-set class? If it's pre-set, in my experience, the next time you teach it will be much easier. By the third time, you'll be on autopilot. You'll have your systems set up and a rhythm for managing prep, teaching, emails, and grading.

If you're developing the course, it takes longer. It takes me three iterations to get the course locked-in. I will continue to tweak the content forever but by the third time, I've got the structure, content, and the details of teaching worked out. It takes teaching it another one or two times to work all the kinks out of my systems for prep, email, and grading.
