Today I had to send this email because the ridiculousness finally broke me. Give an inch, they take a mile. I know they went through a panini, we all do. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter @OpenAcademics @BlkInEngineerng There are several problems with this, it puts an affair imposition on not just me but my TA who is also an undergraduate student and has to keep going back to do more grading. Also, things get lost in email and students complain their late homework grades never got posted.

I have never seen so many anti-homework people in my life. I understand there should be some constraints around it and special cases but walking into a college campus with no preparation for how to manage your time, study on your own, organize, reflect,...🧵 is a disaster waiting to happen. Some of these students are the ones I teach and they are so lost that it breaks my heart. They are running underwater while some of their classmates run circles around them. Starting out behind the eight ball. #PurposefulProfessor #NoireSTEMinist
