@isasv *shrug* Because entitlement?
(This kind of ridiculousness is actually bog-standard here—students email late in semester explaining they didn’t attend because they have a job. If they email at the end of semester? They get an F. Start of semester? We work something out, maybe.) @isasv Mid-semester? Well… it’s a pandemic, and I have provisions for students who cannot attend live. (Their max grade is capped, as a compromise out of fairness for other students, and recognition that online live class is stupid and it all should be prerecorded anyway.)
