Similarly, it's not good teaching practice to trivialize deadlines.


Yeah plenty of time for workplaces to do that for you. I can count on my hand the number of times something has been a hard deadline. This teacher taught a valuable lesson usable for the rest of the student's carreers and "the most students shouldn't fail mentality" has led to professors I know personally questioning the caliber of student they are receiving and this is a top 30 program I'm referring to. More people should fail, maybe they'd start treating things seriously and the problem of underqualified technical applicants would resolve itself.
