[quote=Anonymous]Professor here. Major eye rolls if your son pushes this. Submitting at the last possible second isn't really a good way to ensure your assignment uploads on time...even a slow, churning internet connection could make it 1-2 minutes late and late is late.

Your kid took a risk by submitting after 11:50 and it didn't work out for him, as well as others it seems. That's life.

Also, seriously, if your child has a chronic illness that sometimes requires accommodations, he needs to see the office that provides those accommodations. He should not ask a professor to accommodate without that paperwork: it puts the integrity of the professor in question and is unfair to other students. I realize he didn't ask in this case, but if he needs to ask, there are pathways to that being totally legitimate and he should take them. There are processes in place for this at every university and students need to use them, even if they never trigger the accommodations. It's essential, and I push this every single semester.
