grumble
<raptop>
anyway, how do I explain to a student that the due date that they're asking for an extension on is soft, especially since I'm way behind on grading?
<SnoopJ>
something in the vein of "submit it when you can" perhaps?
<SnoopJ>
barring just saying it directly: "I'm going to be grading these for a bit, so just get it to me"
<raptop>
hah
<raptop>
(As far as I'm concerned, the due date is really to prevent them from going overboard with procrastinating. But saying that seems, ah, rude)
