How to say no to students

By Scott Jaschik, for Inside Higher Ed

December 2, 2013

When Rex Brynen¡¯s political science students at McGill University petitioned him to extend 바카라사이트 deadline on a key research paper for 바카라사이트ir course, he turned 바카라사이트m down. But he managed to do so in a way that left his students at 바카라사이트 Montreal university chuckling, and singing his praises all over social media.

The students had submitted a ¡°royal petition¡± so Professor Brynen responded - as King Brynen - in a way that illustrated 바카라사이트 political rights of absolute monarchs. He offered reasons offered by many dictators over 바카라사이트 years, blaming nature and political opponents, while also noting issues of justice (that it would be unfair to those who had already completed 바카라사이트 assignment on time). Then he went on to offer a special bonus to all of his subjects: no work on December 25.

Via email, he said that 바카라사이트 class has been enjoying 바카라사이트 attention. ¡°We¡¯ve all been enjoying it,¡± he said. ¡°It just goes to show how fun teaching can be!¡±

Enjoy his letter .
