Dear Colleagues, I wanted to get some of your ideas and opinions on taking student excuses from their face value. In other words how do most of you handle situations where students are absent on the day of exams and when assignments are due. Do you require some sort of documentation such as a doctor's visit letter from the student before allowing the student to make-up an exam or for not penalizing later work or assignments. How do you handle cases like this? Do you just take the student's word or story about the emergency that came up for them as being valid or do you require them to provide you documentation of the emergency as to why they could not attend class on the day of the exam or assignment due date. Your feedback is appreciated on this matter. Payam Heidary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
