What do you think of due dates and how do you picture yourself using, enforcing or not using or enforcing due dates in your classroom? I have met some art teachers that value quality over quantity in projects they do and others that prefer quantity along with quality to allow students to gain more exposure. What are your thoughts? Which type of teacher have you experienced in the past regarding due dates?
I agree with some of the people that have commented already. In the real world, you don't really get that flexibility to turn in your paperwork or your complete your tasks late without consequence. At the same time, even though I know school is supposed to help prepare students for the real world by providing real-world experiences, I agree with the writer of the article. Due dates help keep students accountable but sometimes teachers get students who are just trying to survive and take their lives day-by-day, they don't really consider school to be their top priority. As the writer said, deadlines should be put into place and students should be held accountable to some degree but as teachers we…

I mostly agree with the writer. I believe the primary job of a teacher is to equip their students with as many skills and as much knowledge as possible. Sometimes that means giving more wiggle room with assignments and due dates.
In a perfect world, every teacher would recognize and treat each student as an individual. Some students require more leniency with due dates for the reasons stated in the article, while others may need more rigid deadlines and pressure to push them in the right direction.
The writer stated they see 200 students every day, so clearly it isn't possible to develop a real and personalized teaching relationship with each one of them.
My solution would be to give…

This is a tricky question. I have strong arguments for both sides. Personally I have had teachers in the past who gave very little time to finish assignments. So the class would rush over the material to finish the project in time. As a result we learnt nothing because we were too focused on a due date. On the other side when teachers are to lenient with due dates students (myself included) will procrastinate to the last minuet and again rush to finish the material not learning anything. There needs to be a balance of giving students a proper amount of time to finish projects but also checking in with them every few days to see what progress they have…

When I was younger I would have said that due dates should be lenient because I was a huge procrastinator. Now I believe due dates are set in place for a reason. The real world is much different than anything you will receive in education, and it won't wait for you.
I think it comes down to the project. Kind of like our 305 class, where we are learning many different technology based projects that for me would need more time to complete a really great piece of work. So in this case we are learning quantity and just getting down the basics and hopefully creating something while learning new and fun techniques.

I a little mix about it this but for the most part I'm for due dates. To be fair, in the real world, if you don't complete a job on time, then you don't get paid and get fired. As an illustrator, it's important to have a due date because you have other things to do or other jobs to complete. If you don't have a due date, then you just end up not doing it at all and that's bad. It's unusually to find art teachers or teachers in general who are lenient on due dates, but that has a certain degree to it. As for quality vs. quantity, it just depends on time and life. If you are…
