EDUC 1300 HW

Instructions: HW Six Scenarios

Instructions:

Download the document named Instructions: HW Six Scenarios. Analyze each situation (six

in total) one by one and determine if the request of the student concerned would be declined

based on the full version of the syllabus posted on Canvas. Justify your answer with

sufficient details supported by the course policies. Your response to each question should be

at least 50 words in length.

Format

 Start a new paragraph when addressing each question (do NOT use a question and

answer format).

 Avoid using direct quotations, unless citing a short legal definition. Do NOT copy

the course policies verbatim. Summarize and paraphrase the ideas instead.

 All papers submitted to the Eagle Online dropbox will go through Turnitin (a web-

based plagiarism detection service) automatically for originality check. Plagiarized

papers will NOT be graded and will automatically receive ‘0’ point.

 Indicate the number of words written for EACH response at the end of each

paragraph or 5 points will be deducted.

Scenario 1 (Missing classes: “They called me in to work!”)

It was the beginning of the semester and Jose seemed to start missing

some online sessions (failed to log into the course on a daily basis and did

not complete certain assignments). This was an email from him one day:

Dear Professor Tam,

This is Jose Riley. I'm writing to you because my job is making me stay

for this extra shift again. I could not log into the online course regularly

and do the assignments. I need the job, but I also need school. I hope we

can work something out. Can you make an exception for me and excuse

my absence due to work as it is something beyond my control? Thank

you.

Best regards,

Jose Riley

Scenario 2 (Missing classes: “I am sick!”)

This was an email sent by a student after missing an online session.

Dear Professor Tam,

Sorry to be so graphic but I am having diarrhea and at the same

time, I vomit. I cannot eat food because it runs right through me. I

am so weak and I cannot even get up to see a doctor. Is it possible

for my absence today not to be counted against the 12.5% limit?

Best regards,

Billy

Scenario 3 (Overdue assignments: “My computer crashed!”)

An email was sent by a student an hour before a paper assignment was

due.

Professor Tam,

I hope this email finds you well. I was in the midst of typing my paper

when my Internet failed to work all of a sudden, forcing me to re-start

the computer. It automatically closed the file that I was working on, and

to make things worst, I did not have a back-up of the file. I only have an

hour left and it is impossible to turn in the paper before the deadline

because I have to start all over again.

Is there any way you can give me an extension?

Thank you,

Caroline

Scenario 4 (Overdue assignments: “Wait, what is my password?”)

Part I

An email was sent by a student at 8 p.m.

A paper assignment was due at 11:55 p.m. the same day.

Hello Dr. Tam,

I was trying to go to Canvas (the class website) to read the

assignment instructions. However, I forgot the password to the

class website. Despite multiple attempts, I could not reset it.

Please send me the instructions again. I apologize for the

inconvenience.

Michael

Part II

The deadline of the assignment had passed already.

A follow up email was sent by the same student right after the deadline at

11:56 p.m.

Dr. Tam,

I was trying to do my paper. However, I forgot my password and could not

access the class materials posted online. I had sent you an email already,

explaining my situation and requesting the details of the assignment.

However, there was no reply... Is there any way that I can turn in the paper

late?

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

Best regards,

Michael

Scenario 5 (Overdue assignments: “I thought I had turned it in

already!”)

This was an email sent by a student after realizing that she got a zero for a

missing paper assignment.

Dear Professor Tam,

I completely understand that it would not be fair to other students. I went

back and looked at the dropbox again and realized that I never submitted my

work successfully. However, I had completed it on Nov 17th when it was

due on Nov 21st. I was just wondering if there is any way that I could get

some sort of partial credit for this. I have a screen shot of when I completed

the document on my computer. Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Sarah

Scenario 6 (Overdue assignments: “No one told me this!”)

An email sent by a student after missing a major project.

Dear Professor Tam,

"I could not access the online class last week due to a family

emergency. I did not receive any email from you telling me what I had

missed. Therefore, I didn't know what I was supposed to turn in. Can I

get an extension on my project?"

Best regards,

Antonio
