Today my students are supposed to turn in their essay assignments on Canvas. I have already received two emails saying, "I completely forgot that it was due" and asking for extensions. Oy vey.

Usually I tell people asking for extensions something like, "I know the current situation is unprecedented and people are handling this differently, so I'm willing to let you take a few extra days." I've never turned down any request for an extension.

Also, after seeing some of the replies to this tweet I am very tempted to make my tweets private so that people who don't follow me can't see them. I do appreciate the kind comments from some people in this thread.
