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.
