[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UPDATE! Prof emailed back and said he'd take the day late essay with a 10pt penalty!

I told ds if he ever meets this prof on campus, he has to do something really nice for him.

And I'm praying that this finally smacked some time sense into ds. He's setting up a google calendar now.

Might be the best way this whole intro to college could have played out, honestly.

Thank you so much to everybody for the thoughtful suggestions, the advice was very much appreciated.[/quote]
I’m glad for the happy outcome! Your son doesn’t need to do something really nice if he ever meets him - he should look up his office and pop in to say thank you at some point during the first semester. As well as replying with a thank you to the email now, of course. A simple in-person, “I just wanted to thank you again for accepting the late paper this summer. I really appreciate it” is nice to do. The professor will appreciate your son making the effort to find him and taking the time to come by (which might take a couple attempts - hopefully the prof posts his office hours on his door, or your son should ask). Doing some gesture might be overkill and awkward. [/quote]

I'll share this with him, thanks. I guess I'm wondering if he'll be able to find him because it's such a huge campus, ha, but I'm going to tell him to look for him.[/quote]
