Should We Extend Deadlines? | Models & Color Codes | TAPP 112
About this Episode
In this episode, host Kevin Patton asks, how do we handle the trepidation we experience when we are flooded with uncertainty after an intense learning experience? Some thoughts about being upfront about using models, analogies, and color codes in science. And we explore that difficult question: should we extend deadlines for students when they ask?

"The process of leniency involves accepting the reality of the current situation and finding a satisfying meaning therein, as opposed to misconstruing or denying the facts of the situation." (Sandra L. Schneider)
Trepidation After New Learning
4 minutes
You know that feeling of trepidation we get after a conference, course, or other intense learning experience? Where we feel uncertainty about whether we'll ever be able to retrieve it again and apply it. No worries. Let's talk that through.

Transparency About Models, Analogies, and Color Codes
18 minutes
As experts in science, we are already comfortable using models, analogies, and color codes. But some of our students may not have that familiarity and comfort. Maybe transparency about these tools at the beginning of the A&P course can help students get traction in our course.

Leniency With Deadlines
6.5 minutes
We usually have deadlines or specific dates for assignments, tests, exams, and projects. We can be strict with those deadlines or we can be lenient. Are there any advantages to be lenient with deadlines when we have them?

Is Leniency Fair?

If we are lenient about deadlines with a student, is that fair to all the other students who may have struggled to be on time?
