"Due to the grading and sequencing requirements in this course, we are unable to accept requests for "expedited" grading of Touchstones. You should expect 7-9 days for grading for each individual Touchstone."
I didn't even ask them for anything about expediting. They need to take this stupid submitting restriction off though.
It is quite frustrating to see this message when you're hoping that they're going to return the assignments on time. Those type of delays could actually derail the whole process. I am wondering whether I am not doing these assignments for nothing, as I don't have any more extensions. They assured me that the marking time will actually be reduced on the chat. And now this...I agree that the restrictions on submissions are really dumb. But it appears to be an effective way of shifting the blame unto the student.
