Very steep learning curve

Sometimes I wonder how stupid I can be. After everything that happened last semester I am as mad at myself as I am the students. (Refresher, both my male and female sections are basically playing a game of "I will take my midterm whenever I want to.")

Allowing them a little flexibility was a colossal disaster. And I should have seen it coming. I explained my situation to two colleagues today and they all but laughed at me: Never, never allow exceptions. Once you do they will drive a truck through it.

I did NOT allow my two principles of management classes any alternatives. Guess what? Every one of them in both sections showed for the midterm.
