ED 105 was a refreshing review of some fundamental concepts in planning, presentation, and evaluation of learning. I had a discussion with peers in my department regarding management of late assignments. My initial answer on the quiz question was that students should receive a zero if an assignment is not handed in on time, but learned the preferred response is to inquire about the reasons for missed assignment due date.
I still disagree. If a student has a syllabus, and has had orientation that includes the class schedule for assignments, the due dates should not be altered. Students who do turn in work on time are at a disadvantage if special consideration is given for late assignments.
