The requirements seem reasonable. The enforced punishment may not be depending on the circumstances. I feel like it's overkill - deduct points but dont make it an automatic F. Do I also get an automatic A in the class if the professor misspelled one? People are human after all, so it might happen. I guess it really sucks for people with language disabilities too.
- yowzadave 2y agoGiven that the requirements are so simple, and they are announced clearly and with plenty of time to comply, this does not seem unfair to me. There are many real-world tasks where an error could result in catastrophic failure--we approach those tasks with caution! It's useful to learn this lesson in college where the worst punishment you can get is just having a grade lowered (and really, when has anybody ever asked you what your GPA was in college).

I don't have an issue with the requirements, but rather with the magnitude of the punishment. "There are many real-world tasks where an error could result in catastrophic failure--we approach those tasks with caution!" Then make it more realistic. You got the wrong numbers for the budget, broke an employment law in a mock interview, etc. "and really, when has anybody ever asked you what your GPA was in college" Job interviews right out of college.
- WalterBright 2y ago> The enforced punishment may not be depending on the circumstances When the students thought he wasn't going to enforce it, they didn't bother complying.
