The student should not be given a free pass to attend any class and then drop the class late in the semester just because he/she is doing poorly.
One way to improve the system is to set the last drop date after the first mid-term, or to provide grade feedback at some point before the last drop date. This gives the students the opportunity to gauge their progress before it is too late to drop. This avoids putting the students in an awkward position. An alternate situation would be allowing students to have one late drop in their careers, giving the students a one-time out should they feel that they require it. This scenario would at least prevent a rush of late drops that would tie up valuable administrative resources.
The school can also work to ensure that the drop process is not disruptive to its staff, or to classroom dynamics. Nobody wants to cause a disruption to the normal flow of education,...
If disruption to the system was minimal, later drops could be more allowable.
Drop deadlines are important because they help everybody manage the workload. Students, administrators and faculty members all know what the course numbers are and what the expectations of each party are. Changes late in the semester are difficult for all concerned. It is in everybody's interest that the system be minimally disruptive, but still offer flexibility. There is much at stake for students in this process -- a poor grade could impact on one's chances to attend graduate school, for example. The smoother the process the better for all concerned, and setting limits on late drops would help students to make better decisions earlier, avoid a flood of late drops and yet still retain some flexibility for students to protect their futures.
CELCAT, though, is just one of dozens of vendors competing in the class scheduling software industry as well as many open sources options that are free of charge, and the thousands of colleges and universities that have undertaken the selection process have done so largely without the benefit of a set of best practices that can be used for this purpose. As a result, it is reasonable to suggest that
In most cases, recreational drug use is seen as a victimless crime and a harmless activity. This attitude changes in the workplace if the drug use impairs performance to the detriment of other workers or if the work involves public safety, in which case tolerance for drug use drops significantly. Another reason why tolerance for some drug use is so high is because the attitude is a reaction to the
The U.S. Census indicates that one is six residents in the Washington, DC metropolitan area is at risk of or is already regularly experiencing hunger (U.S. Census ACS 2006-2008). We believe that hunger should not exist in a nation as blessed with resources as the United States, especially among children. That hunger exists to such an extent in the nation's capital is especially unacceptable. Community of Hope DC is seeking
The UK needs to build good economic relationships with emerging markets even more than with its EU neighbors. China is already highly competitive in manufacturing and is gaining competitiveness in high-technology manufacturing. India is a leader in Information Technology and, being an English speaking country, also has the ability to be globally competitive in Professional Services. Latin American and Southeast Asian economies, such as Brazil or Indonesia, will become increasingly

There are always real human problems that might prevent someone from making a deadline, including car trouble, sick children, and a plethora of other issues that might arise and that are completely uncontrollable. Though Kim could have made better choices in getting her paper in on time, Professor Freud should not have a policy that completely disregards an entire course's worth of performance for one deadline. Philip, Arnold's friend, has
