Assignment Deadline Extensions Flashcards
How do I determine if a deadline extension is reasonable for my course?
Consider whether meeting deadlines is an essential component of the course. If strict deadlines are fundamental (e.g., group projects, lab work, time-sensitive discussions), flexibility may not be required. If deadlines are flexible for other students (e.g., allowing late submissions with a penalty), then reasonable extensions should be considered.
Do students with deadline extensions get unlimited time to submit assignments?
No. Extensions should be reasonable and based on the student’s needs. If a student repeatedly misses extended deadlines, refer them to SAS to reassess their accommodations.
What if a student with an extension is falling too far behind in my course?
Reach out to SAS to discuss alternative solutions while maintaining the course’s essential requirements. Encourage the student to communicate regularly about their progress and any ongoing challenges.
