[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]

Prof here - your son should send a thank you immediately for the professor's kindness and understanding.  However, there is zero need for any type of gift - that would be really awkward.

What I do recommend is to have your son fill out the class evaluation at the end of the term (which usually only 5% of students bother to do) and say something good.  Don't say the prof bent the rules, but if the prof is clear, organized, understanding, whatever, write that down.  Those evaluations go to the department chair.  They can also go to ratemyprof and give honest feedback - again, do not say the prof bent the rules, but say they are kind and helpful.[/quote]
