Hey all – I’ve heard from some of you that there’s just so much going on in personal life as well as in the world. (Same here!) To help ease the pressure, I’d like to propose FLUID DUE DATES for the rest of the term. This means you can work on assignments as you are able, without the stress of what’s due next. However, everything must be submitted by the last day of class.
I also encourage you to stay close to the reflection blogging dates, as this allows your classmates to read and respond to your work in a timely manner, fostering a richer discussion. Keeping up with those will help create a better exchange of ideas.
This approach aligns perfectly with what the Hyperlinked Library is all about—taking care of ourselves and each other. It’s important that you have time to explore class resources, enjoy the process, and be creative with your assignments.
Think of it as an extension on everything! Nothing will be counted late as long as it’s in by the final deadline.
Watch for this on our weekly posts:
➡️➡️➡️ FLUID DUE DATES are in effect. Use the original due dates as a guideline, but take the time you need to create meaningful and enjoyable work. Everything just needs to be completed by the last day of class. Please stay close to the reflection blogging dates, as this allows your classmates to read and respond to your work in a timely manner, fostering a richer discussion. Keeping up with those will help create a better exchange of ideas.
If you’d prefer to stick to the scheduled dates, that’s absolutely fine too.

@michael Thank you for this. I haven’t messaged but things have been pretty hectic in my world so this is appreciated.
@deniseml You are very welcome! Take good care.
Hi Denise,
I hope that life settles for you soon. Sending well wishes!
@Michael Thank you so much! Your generosity is so appreciated.
Thank you so much for this, @michael . Such a crazy time.
Whoa! Thank you @michael
I appreciate the flexibility.
Wow, thank you much, @michael. Your grace is appreciated more than you know.
@mickeysosa97 @terribeth @msandoval @Catherine Glad to do this!
Thank you @michael. This is very appreciated and I just had weight lifted from my shoulders.
@saraschwan I am glad some weight has lifted!
This is so generous, @michael–thank you so much! I hope you’re extended similar grace in your own life somehow. Also, I’m obsessed with those broccoli earrings, hah.
Also wow have fun in Scotland; I hope it’s a good reset for you! A friend of mine just flew over to St. Andrews for a creative writing program, so you’re in the same part of the world as her. 🙂 I also hope you get tons of good pics.
@valancy my sincere apologies for missing this comment thread while I was flying and then once I was here. Yay for your friend who is at Saint Andrews. I wish I would’ve been aware of what opportunities were out in the world when I was moving into my undergrad days. I actually did not travel outside of the North America until 2002. So yay for your friend in the creative writing program. And also, I am so happy to give everyone fluids. It just feels right.
@michael no problem–traveling like that is huge (also I think I didn’t even properly tag you, so…it’s more than okay that you missed it). I totally understand that. I have yet to travel abroad myself but would love to; I might even visit my friend while she’s over there! Your photos from your trip make it look fantastic.
@valancy That sounds like a good plan to visit your friend. I truly believe traveling abroad is good for the mind and spirit. Please go if you can. Of course, I would highly recommend Scotland and the UK in general.
