And there's really no way to cross-examine a student on this without turning into Edward R. Rooney.

Yeah. It’s one of those things, can’t do it even if there are occasional lies. Also much better to structure class so there is less need or opportunity to lies. Students have crises.

I don’t agree with that. It is really hard when you are Phd student who failed in comprehensive exam and your students’ grandparents die during finals. LOL

I was very grateful for these, as I was hospitalized for a few weeks during my MA and was not comfortable disclosing private health information to get it “excused.”

Should add I eventually disclosed this to a professor and program advisor and he was great about it. But I’m glad it wasn’t forced.

If you do the math age wise, its really likely that grandparents will die during kids college career, death more likely in cold months, and they have 4 of them (not counting blended families) so depending on size of class, yeah it might be strangely common.

A friend's father died during his Master's. His supervisor gave him very little support; that helped steer me clear of grad school.

Not everyone has those. Wouldn’t have had either when my mom died. How do you not penalize poorer kids? Or those from dysfunctional families? (My mom was an alcoholic: sudden young death—middle of semester. I had zero proof).
