Surviving Work
(rules as they come to me)
- If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
- If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
- Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

I’ve never been completely satisfied with any of the late work policies I’ve used. For my first few years teaching, at a large state university, my policy was to deduct one letter grade for each calendar day an assignment was late.
