[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The deadline was 11:59pm. DS submitted it at 11:59 and the website marked it as late because it was set to put anything later than 11:59:00 as late.

DS emailed professor, and he said that because the website marked it as late, it was late.

DS takes full responsibility for submitting last minute and told me that he has learned from this experience. He wasn't able to work on the assignment for several days as he was experiencing symptoms of a chronic illness and did not ask for more time to finish the assignment.

Other students in the course experienced the same thing and are going to higher-ups in the professor's department.

Usually I would let him figure this out on his own. As the assignment being graded as late may significantly affect his final grade (which is important for admission to grad/professional schools), should he also go to higher-ups in the professor's department? Or should he just accept what happened? [/quote]

Learning curve for DS to submit his assisgnments on a more timely manner. You need to stay out of this.  If he cannot submit his assignments he should probably not be thinking of grad/professional schools.[/quote]

DP.  The last sentence is ridiculous.  Because someone turns an assignment in late they shouldn't be thinking of grad school?  [/quote]
I have no idea if this is a pattern or not for the student about whom this thread is written...but yes, in general, my experience is that a student who waits until the literal last minute to submit assignments, or regularly submits assignments late, are not often top candidates for graduate school.[/quote]
