It unfortunately seems that I have failed as an educator, seeing as how very few of the "Polished Revisions" I have received from students thus far are truly polished or revised...
Not sure what to do from here as I am tired of correcting things that should be corrected by now, but am also itching to wrap this unit up.
A query: Which is more important: getting a unit done in accordance with the timeline set for it, or having students pass in perfectly polished work? And, if it is the former, do I amend my grading to account for the ridiculous number of flaws in the pieces so that students aren't penalized as severely?
What a conundrum.

I believe that it's not the teacher, who fails. But the students whom don't want to do the work. I also believe, that your teacher methods work best. Including extending the due date, for said students.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I might be one of them. I thank you for the writing prompt, it gave me something to look forward to coming to school for. Made my second quarter a lot easier to deal with, with an easy way to vent.
As for the ridiculous amount of errors, I can't spell. But at least I spell check. As much as possible, if it doesn't show, I try correcting grammatical errors.
