There are no words for this; an incredible story. My thoughts and prayers are with Bertrand and others with NGLY1 deficiency.
It seems that while Professor and Christina Might were making a herculean effort to discover and fight NGLY1 deficiency, Professor Might was granted tenure (!) at the University of Utah and is considered a rising star (http://admin.utah.edu/academic_affairs_posts/rising-stars-at-the-u-2 http://admin.utah.edu/academic_affairs_posts/rising-stars-at...). I doubt anyone makes excuses for late homework in his class.
- mattmight 12y agoThanks for the kind words and the nod, but I can assure you that there's still no shortages of excuses for late homework. Since this is HN, I'll share one thing that works: force your students to use git (or some version control) for assignments. Having an auditable history of effort makes it hard to lie. Except when it turns "the dog ate my homework" into "git rebase ate my homework."
