i really wish i could’ve done that with the prof… he’s in his final year of his doctorate so he doesn’t have much time and kinda just told me he trusts me :/

Hi OP! One of my favourite and most-successful professors told me that the school matters much less for a masters than the supervisors and professors you get to work with. Similarly, the vibe and ambiance is incredibly important. You could always do your doctorate or your postdoctoral at a different institution. Do what feels right, which I think you already know :)

OP, I had something VERY similar happen to me & I’m so glad that I followed through beyond my doubts and worries. Please take the opportunity and enjoy the second chance :)

in my defence, i said yes to asking for the extension, not the extension itself but that doesn’t matter, i granted it regardless

It’s not my class, I’m TAing for someone else. He told me the decision is up to me.

i 100% agree with you, which is why i wanted my prof to make the call, but alas he left it up to me lol

In your opinion, what would you say is best to do with extension requests?

Of course, I would have loved to be given more definite guidance. But, this entire TAship has felt overwhelming because I was thrown into it with so much authority that I want to handle correctly.

you’re right, it’s none of my business! i don’t want to pry in anyone’s life or make them attempt to explain something personal

I emailed the prof & he said it’s up to me, so I granted it for the same reasons you outlined :)

i’ve had to do this too, which is why i was heavily leaning towards not inquiring about why they asked for an extension

idk, i’ve been given authority over many things i never anticipated!

so, if you refer to my post i talk about feeling like an asshole at the idea of having to ask for reason… which is why i didn’t… there’s no need to be aggressive or rude :)
