[quote=Anonymous][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]

It’s that attitude that has me looking forward to the crash of higher education. [/quote]

Lol. That isn’t happening.  This is just a reflection of the real world.

If the Packers are on the two yard line and snap the ball after the buzzer, the play doesn’t count if they score a touchdown to win the game.[/quote]

It’s more like a red intersection camera that tickets motorists for being .001 late. These tickets are fought all over the country. Cities often lose cuz there’s always something the city didn’t do that was legal. When accusing motorists of illegal turns, the cities need to follow all the legal requirements themselves.  Somewhere in their chain of event, these cities didn’t dot the i and cross the t.  It’s kind of like questioning football referee’s eye sight. [/quote]
