Why do my students feel the need to debate what I stated three time and have in writing? First projects (with first grades) went back into their greedy little hands tonight and all I heard was "What the..." and "Why did you give me...?"
First of all, if you can't follow basic directions, I shouldn't have to grade it at all. Second, I didn't give anyone anything. If anyone was giving anything tonight it was the students giving me an ulcer. Word of advice: read the directions!
All I can say is that I have taken some college classes before and if the professor said it once, it was the law. He or she did not care if you were there to hear it. The point was they ran their class the way they saw fit. And, there was no debate. My students can bend and twist anything to serve their purpose. They should run for office.
