[quote=Anonymous]On the one hand
Students should turn assignments in on time
A professor with dozens of students and lots of assignments and tests to grade would have too much to deal with if multiple students expected extensions and special treatment etc.

On the other hand 
Everyone messes up and there should be some flexibility. I do think however that it should be upto the Professor to decide how to handle the situation. 
OP if your child is still trying to decide what to do I would recommend writing a respectful email to the Professor explaining what happened, acknowledging that he should not have waited until the last minute to submit such an important assignment and asking the Professor for some leniency

I have a strict no late assignments rule but I drop 2 of the 10 assignment grades and 2 of the 10 quiz grades. I am more flexible with the term paper but I expect students to ask for an extension a couple of days before the deadline.   I dread having to grade late term papers because I usually have so much grading at the end of the semester. Between review sessions, writing exams, fielding questions about the term paper, grading term papers, grading final exams and calculating grades the last two weeks of the semester are incredibly grueling and stressful. I don’t think students realize how disruptive it can be to deal with late assignments and make up exams. [/quote]
