  1. Wow, a lot more students missed the deadline for their (discontinous, online) final exam this semester. Which sucks, since I gave them as much time as I realistically could... and this means I'll be grading more of them at the last minute.

      The uni extended the midterm exam period, but crammed all exams for our most grading-heavy (writing) classes into the 2nd week, and didn't give *us* more time to get grading done. Also, the winter intensive course starts during our grading window (which is over Xmas week).

        (If you think that speaks volumes about how faculty are regarded, well... yeah? Kinda? Maybe? But admin works all through Xmas week too, so only sorta. Koreans have their big family time-off holiday in the fall, not in winter. Still, the grading crush is over the top.)

          With this many students completing their exams late, I guess I'm just going to have to be less generous with the time I give students to get the exam done. (8-9 days instead of 10-11, maybe?)
