My students are the best. I assign written homework for every day of class, but on Thursday we had a very difficult test, so I didn’t schedule any homework for next Tuesday. It’s good to take a small break from new material every once in a while.
As a result, all day today, I’m getting bombarded with panicky emails. Here is just one (translation from Spanish is mine).
“Professor, there is no homework for next Tuesday in the syllabus. How do I find out what the homework is? PLEASE ANSWER SOON!!!”
You’d think from this that I’m some sort of an ogre who persecutes them for every homework they don’t hand in on time, but in reality I never refuse to accept homework even if it’s 2 months late.
