In response to the comments about the student who requested an adjustment in a deadline because his/her medication was changed and created some nasty side effects.
I wonder - how would you respond if the student has written that he/she had been in an auto accident and the pain medication prescribed for their injuries has interfered with their ability to concentrate? How do these two excuses differ? Are we holding students culpable for problems related to treatment of mental illnesses but understand when medical problems "outside their control" interfere with their ability to study? Claudia J.
