Pressure from advisor to pass a student?
I’m just wondering how others would handle this type of situation.
I’m an instructor at SNHU and I have a student who has submitted work late or not at all for the entire term. The student has made every excuse as to the reasoning. They asked for an exception to be made and I basically said no. Now an advisor has reached out and is pressuring me to make an exception for the student. The exception would be to grade the late work submitted 3 weeks past the due date and allow for a missed assignment to be submitted.
If I make the exception, I don’t think it’s fair to the other student who either followed the policy or did not submit work beyond the late window. The student deserves the grade they have, but making a stance against it to the school seems like a bad place to put myself.
I can share more if I missed anything. I’m just wondering how others have dealt with this, especially at SNHU.
