Thinking, Not Acting Yet
When I meet with my graduate class this Tuesday, I will have to have a good plan in mind on how to proceed, given the horrific accident that has occurred to one student. A literature critique, an examination, and a research paper are all scheduled to be due in the next three weeks (the class ends in three weeks). I suspect many students may be quite distraught, and so I must figure out a way to take the student's feelings into account while at the same time upholding the requirements for the course. I have many different options I could adopt, but I am not sure which is best for the students, for the pedagogy of the course, or for myself. I must decide, however, before class on Tuesday.
The student who has been in the accident will of course receive an "Incomplete" grade until she can (hopefully) complete the course.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
