[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not encourage your son to go to the department head. I guarantee you, this is not a good interaction that reflects well on the student, especially if this is the first time complaining to a department head or if there is a more significant issue to deal with in the future (this would paint the student as petty and not put them in a favorable position). While we don't make fun of these things necessarily in faculty meetings, we do complain about the ridiculousness of student requests like this very often. It's not a good look.

The way this stuff works is the the assignment displays for students as:
Due Jun 20 at 11:59pm

The instructor interface says
Due at 11:59:00pm

The computer marks as late, not the professor. It's a machine-graded hard line for a reason.

Lesson learned. Suck it up. [/quote]

This is what happens when academic professors who think they have God-like power over powerless students. [/quote]

Nope, this is what happens when entitled students (and their enabling parents) use excuse after excuse rather than doing the work well, doing it on time, and turning it in when it is due. It was due at 11:59:00. 11:59:01 is late.

Do you think Olympic swimmers who touch in at 00:46.96 deserve the Olympic gold medal in the 100 free as much or more than the swimmer who touched in at 00:46.91? But but but it's only hundredths of a second difference!

See how those are DIFFERENT TIMES?[/quote]
