I found the deadlines/ late work and assignments section particularly interesting. I came from teaching at the high school level and now I teach at Berks Technical Institute. Although the mindset is very similar for all students I have encountered, I realize how important it is now to replicate work world expectations for the technical school students. In particular, I liked this part, "You have to decide where you are going to draw a "line in the sand" concerning assignment deadlines. In high school students are given two, three, and sometimes four chances to hand in assignments. The rules have changed now- your students are adults and are training to be successful in their chosen career field. Unfortunately, you will still find that many of them really don't believe there has been a rule change." I need to keep this in mind when I am considering allowing a student to hand in late work or a missing assignment past the deadline. It is not fair to others that completed the work, but more importantly, I am not doing them an service by continually allowing late work and missed deadlines.
