If I can just figure out how to use this in my syllabus.

a rubric for rating student whining

(nod to ancarett, I found this through her links and immediately fell in love with it)

Now. If any of the rest of you are up to composing rubrics for "quality of wheedling for an extension," or "'I have to take the final exam early' vols 1-3," we should talk.

It is even greater when the whine develops infectious characteristics extends from your class, to your email, to the department head, to the dean, to the provost, to the president of the university. It's the American Way - the squeaky wheel that gets the grease! If only the nail that stands up got hammered down instead!

Wow. The Tribble Theory of Whining = seems harmless, multiplies out of control. That is scary.
