[quote=Anonymous]Academic here. Sounds like the professor is using Blackboard or some other online assignment system as the arbiter. Not a bad idea - hold everyone to a single standard. I've assigned papers due before midnight on a certain day, and had lots come in during the wee hours of the next morning. I'm a procrastinator so I get it, but if you want to be scrupulously fair, anything beyond the fixed time is late. OP, I hope your son considers this a lesson learned. And pulling the "chronic condition" thing at this point would actually be a negative if I were the professor. If you didn't bother to reach out before a deadline to discuss your difficulties in meeting it, then you don't get to create some excuse after the fact. Especially if is an assignment that was on the syllabus you got 5 or 6 months ago. Final point: unless this is your son's first class, he knows the difference between 1159pm and anytime thereafter.
