Save yourself; others you cannot save. Actually, I recommend having things due a week after getting back from a break (if possible: this tends not to work for Thanksgiving breaks) because a lot of the students won't work over the break, just throw together some crap the night they get back, and then you will be miserable grading crap. Alternatively, have work due a week before the break starts, and bust your butt to get it back before the break, so that they can "reflect on revisions" or "think about the next stage of the project" during the break itself. They won't, not consciously, but in some cases the unconscious mind will take something on board from the comments. <br /><br />So what fun things are you going to do over break? Lots of feline entertainment?Dame Eleanor Hullhttp://dameeleanorhull.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
