This. If it is an electronic submission then it needs to be in by 17:59:59 because at 18:00:00 the link is gone.

If you are arguing over seconds, it will be late. Get it in hours early to allow for things going wrong.

Does it have a time is of the essence clause?

OP, are deliberately trying to be obtuse?

due by means it is due before that time. So due by Tuesday to me would be due Monday night at 1159:59
Due by 6pm would be due by 559:59

So weird, I would totally assume due by Tuesday means by the end of Tuesday.

Thanks!

That's interesting. I thought due by 6pm would mean before 6:01 because 6:00:59 is still 6:00 on most clocks. Never tested out the theory.

There was a thread recently about a college kid with an assignment due at 11:59 that he turned in between 11:59 and 12:00. It was marked late.

OP updated that the prof ended up not marking it late

And does due by 6:00 pm mean that 6:00:00 is the latest time to submit or 6:00:59? I'd never cut it that close, but was wondering.

I would have it in Tuesday morning.

Most websites would make you get it in before 6:00 like 5:59.

I always assumed before end of Tuesday, but DH says otherwise.

And does due by 6:00 pm mean that 6:00:00 is the latest time to submit or 6:00:59? I'd never cut it that close, but was wondering.
