do we still hand in assignments?

Posted by KaiLee on Mar-07-2006 04:18:

there are no teachers to pick them up...

Posted by Misanthrope on Mar-07-2006 04:20:

yeah but you can still do it by email.

well for all my courses I can.

but yeah... hmm.

Posted by KaiLee on Mar-07-2006 04:21:

yeah but the chances of teachers checking their emails are slim to none......

if they are in the union they have to be out picketing

Posted by chinamon on Mar-07-2006 04:27:

this strike affects fulltime students only
and submitting assignments by email? lol. the strike is for them to NOT work so they can get what they want.
if they only strike for a day, i will get students to strike for a longer teachers strike.

Posted by iLiptikalOrbitZ on Mar-07-2006 04:32:

Teachers are not allowed to take assignments, use class forums or give feedback on assignments at all. If they are caught they recieve a fine, and also dont get thier strike pay.

7. Can I offer to teach my students through Blackboard, WebCT or any other form of electronic learning during a strike?

No. This is considered strike-breaking and is a violation of the CCBA. The union will monitor and act upon any violations of the CCBA.

Depends on your teachers....all our teachers expect our assignments to be emailed to them....they gave us home email accounts to send the assignments to.

^^That sucks. Then again, I wouldn't want to have to worry about how much time I actually had to hand it in. I'd like to just get it over with.

So much for union solidarity.

Then again, education is not something to be screwed around with.

true, but I am glad...I am in a post graduate course....it's already fast tracked and cost a bit more....plus I want to get in and get back out to the workforce as quick as possible
