Background from Instructor: I emailed a student asking her to revise her weekly assignment. She had not been specific when referring back to the short film and reading in her discussion; there was no indication she watched the film or read the article. The directions state that I need specifics. Rather than enter a 0, I offered her the chance to revise it.
Email from student: Hello, With all due respect, an assignment completed within the due date and time warrants credit. The assignment was completed, even if it does not meet all standards does not warrant a 0. I apologize it is not as specific as desired, however receiving a 0 is unnecessary, and not reflective of completing an assignment. I would like for this to be reevaluated. Thanks.
