  Case: Grade Dumping
Student A has not receive any assessment grades for the entire nine week period. Toward the deadline of the reporting period the entered fifteen assessment grades in one day. The teaching then inform student A that there are four missing assignments that resulted in a low academic performance and the student has only two days to turn them in.
What should be the ethical and practical ramification of providing feedback?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher has neglected his or her duties and failed the student for the grading period. It is not the student's fault that he or she may not have turned in the assignment especially if the student has 15 other assessment grades. This situation sounds of one that is unfair to the student, therefore, that student should be exempted from the assignments and the teacher should be reprimanded for his or her negligence.

Comments: If the student is exempt from the assignments, their grade may not be fair. A better solution might be to reprimand the teacher and extend the grading period for that child and give them appropriate time to work on the assignments.

Comments: While I agree that the teacher has not done a good job in getting assignments graded in a timely manner, I do not think the student should be exempted from the assignments.
