Deadlines and Stuff
At the beginning of each academic term students are issued with the assignments for that course unit.
READ THEM!
Don't you dare turn around and dictate when you will be handing them in, and don't dare accuse us teaching staff of not giving you the assignments. We issue them at the beginning of term.
READ THEM!
If you do not meet the deadline set, you achieve an R which means a referral. This also means that your work will only be marked once.
CAN YOU READ THIS?
If you still insist on not sumitting on time you will then receive a disciplinary.
Please do not make a mockery of your marks at this early stage of the course. Persistence in poor attendance, submissions and punctuality will result in your leaving the course at Easter. No questions asked.
As you can probably tell, I have a zero tolerance on deadlines not being met. Believe it or not it's pretty much unheard of at university levels for students to miss deadlines, so why would it be acceptable here at Confetti?
Mark and I are working out a system where work that you may have missed can be downloaded - Note: this doesn't mean that you can hold off until the assignmnets have been uploaded.
I'm furious that you all have this carefree attitude to learning and delivering - therefore, perhaps it's time we as tutors, stopped being so attebtive to your needs as learners. It's clearly getting us nowhere. Maybe if we were more....... I dunno, strict (?) we might get more out of you! Perhaps if we considered stripping a few of the enrichment activities (anime, Japanese language learning, gaming in class time) you might work harder?
