It seems childlike, when given a reasonable explanation, to continue with further complaints. So, when my assignment, TMA01, is late, by definition more than 10 working days since the deadline, why do I not complain?
Perhaps I should first share the given explanation. Apparently the deadline for October starts TMA05 is identical to that for February starts TMA01. More cock-up than conspiracy, right hands not using the skills that the left hand possesses kind of thing.
Now I should also reveal, or remind, that for my cohort, the next assignment, TMA02, is dependent entirely on feedback from TMA01. In olden times we could blame the post. Now, let's blame the new regime.
Hum-ho. What would Socrates do?
