<p>Reply to kathy webb's <a href="http://www.careeredlounge.com/topic/comment/100198/1018137/608236">post</a>:I too believe that we as instructors need to refrain from projecting judgement upon our students. In many of my online classes, I have students that frequently come up with many excuses. These excuses range from weekly trips to the hospital to computer glithces. I have found that my belief in thier excuse is not the issue. The challenge is to make the student find a way to complete the assignment and submit it in a timely manner. It is a never ending journey.&nbsp;</p>
