I don't like confrontation with a student. I do not like it when they argue with me. I set clear expectations and due dates. I do not like accepting late work because it is not fair to those who turned the assignment in on time, it does not mimic the real working world, and does not instill the importance of deadlines. My students often try to copy work after I have returned it and then try to turn it in late. I explain that the work is to help them learn concepts. Copying does not help them learn, especially when they do it after the test. The point of the assignment is to help them prepare for the test. Students often argue with me. I even have it in my syllabus.
