You know that saying "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine"? I'm pretty much living it right now. Had a student frantic to gain access to the online course page (the whole platform is password protected). Only, see, he has a password, but he hasn't add his courses to his profile. So now he wants me to add it for him. Only, I can't. Even as an admin, I don't have that sort of access. But it's SUPER IMPORTANT, because he has an assignment on there due Monday. Never mind that he's had three weeks to figure out how to get onto the course. Nope, it's suddenly my job to fix things for him.

Like hell. I sent him instructions on how to find and add his class, and if he can't do it? Oh, well, he'll have to wait until I come to work on Sunday.

I feel your pain. We're in the third week of class, too, and one student in particular hasn't been to his class yet.

Rar.

Even my boss was like "How hard is it to find his class on the checklist and check it off?" These are grad. level students. They're adults. If they ask for help, sure, fine, no problem. If they expect me to do it for them? I have other things to do.
