Asked by Rtfd
Reply back professionally to the following first with gratitude for the response, I can understand Tias late assignment submission on October 14 in which she submit it with October 30. however on aug 29, 2025 due date is mentioned to be submitted by 11:59 pm. I believe that will confuse your scholars with multiple assignments submissions for that day. Can I suggest that the assignments due date needs to be adjusted to the accuracy class period ? Also what happens if your scholars in understanding the assignment due your absence, is it fair that they still be marked absent due to this matter.
The reason that tia was marked absent both days, is because she submitted the assignment assignments late, not during the assigned time period.

Thank you for your response.
I understand that Tia’s October 14 assignment was submitted late and was not uploaded until October 30. I also noticed that the August 29 assignment shows a due time of 11:59 PM. When assignments intended for completion during a specific class period are posted with a generic end-of-day time, it can create confusion for scholars who have multiple submissions on the same calendar day.
Could I suggest adjusting assignment due dates/times to match the actual class period (or clearly labeling them by period)? For example: “Due Aug 29 — Period 2 (by 10:30 AM)” or “Due by end of class” instead of 11:59 PM. That small change should reduce misunderstandings and late submissions.
Also, could you clarify the policy when students misunderstand a due time because of an instructor’s absence or unclear instructions? Is there a grace period or other recourse so students aren’t automatically marked absent when the confusion is due to timing/communication? For context: Tia was marked absent both days because her submissions were late and not uploaded during the assigned time period. We would appreciate your guidance on how to handle similar situations going forward and whether any flexibility can be provided in cases of ambiguity.
Thank you again for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your clarification and any next steps.
