In the good old days when a student did not hand in an assignment they were docked marks or handed a zero.  Avoiding an exam because of a sniffle was not an excuse! I see students milking the system left , right and center because they were either lazy or partied too much  but were not too ill to actually do an assignment or an essay or test.
 And then there are the procrastinators.

For the ones who take responsibility seriously, and try to do things as per expectations and follow the rules, procedures and guidelines in infuriates there are no consequences for lazy butted attitudes of entitlement.

BRING BACK CONSEQUENCES.
