[quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe this. The life lesson here is to not leave things until the last possible second because stuff goes wrong and you need time to recover. Like a PP said, by 11:30 you make your first attempt so you have time to make a second attempt and shoot off an email. That’s at a minimum. Really, you get it in by 6 pm or so, unless the assignment is a rapid turnaround one.

Professionally, I give two deadlines. COB and OOB. COB means I’m coming in over the weekend or extra early and I need it to be there so I meet my own follow on deadline of noon or whatever. OOB means that I will be working on that project mid morning or later. Your input better be there. This is how the world works. Get your stuff done by the time it’s asked for, and earlier is better. If you need an extension, you better get to me a day or so out so we can determine if there is flexibility in deadlines or not.

Do nothing, OP, and the professor should stand his/her ground so that we now have another human who will learn never to be late again.[/quote]
