Episode 8
LBCC Faculty Member, Rob Priewe - Journalism Department, joins me to discuss flexibility with assignment and project deadlines. Rob and I talk about the diverse needs and experiences of students in the college learning environment. Flexible due dates can remove barriers and increase the opportunity for students to succeed. Rob shares the evolution of his teaching practice as he prepares students for post-college careers. He provides examples of when and how flexibility with deadlines benefits students without creating a grading nightmare for instructors.
