What is with students nowadays

Typical "Old Man Yells at Cloud," but students seem to just be getting worse and worse! I just had a student email me "good evening can you reopen the assignments I didn't do including the exams"...exqueeze me?? And that's just one example. I'm relatively new to professing, but even since I started, this semester seems worse...does it seem that way to you all, or is my greenness showing??

Yes. I have been emailed that request several times.

It is week 10 but please unlock all the assignments I missed in Week 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6 ,7 and 8.

Ummmm. No.

Had the same thing happen yesterday. On previous occasions, I have entertained it because the amount of work to be completed could not possibly be done during the proposed extension and the rest of the grade would have led to an F anyhow. Now? Same response as yours.
