As a ugrad, and later a PhD student teaching, everything is explained the first day. If you can figure it out you just fail the class (or go to office hrs to get help, etc).
- setopt 6mo agoAs an associate professor, I do explain things the first day, but I am certainly not permitted to fail students as a consequence of not checking their email daily. Even if they didn’t hand in an assignment at all, without any reason provided, I’m required by regulation to offer them a second chance to pass that assignment. The students’ rights are quite strong here (Northern Europe), which I generally support, but it has some downsides.
- lokar 6mo agoInteresting. I remember very strict rules on turning in programming assignments (as a student, and later TA). On time, printed properly, in a specific envelope, labeled as specified in the right location.
