The above formula for paragraph structure saved me a lot of time. Sophmore english teacher stubbornly forced our class to use it and it was probably the best writing lesson I ever received.
There was a major deadline last sunday. 10 minutes past midnight, I got a mail from a student…
There have been too many fucking times where I worked on an assignment, finished it, forgot to submit and then didn’t remember that until midnight. Ive made it with seconds to spare before but I’ve also missed it by tens of minutes. There was at least one time (that I can think of) where I got a zero for submitting single-digit amounts of minutes late before and the professor wasn’t hearing any of it. I think it was either 12:03 or 12:05.
As always, the question is where to draw the line. The fairest approach is that late means the late penalty. Except for exceptions, which then bring the same question back into play… :-)
Deadlines are pretty important in the professional world. If you miss a hard deadline, at best you end up looking sloppy and unprofessional, at worst you’ve lost your company a couple million and you’re about to be out of a job.

I’m an absolutely fantastic employee, at least, my performance reviews and bonuses support the image. I also have absolutely terrible anxiety about mundane deadlines. Some paperwork that takes 3 minutes might be put off for an extra day or two while I spend hours day and night on my actual responsibilities. It’s an issue.
I don’t remember writing this
…did you accept it?
No, they have to wait three weeks for their next chance to hand it in. The rules are very clear on that and the impact is not too bad.
Why does it matter? It’s not like you’d have graded it in those few minutes.
But if I edit the word doc in notepad and rip out some of the metadata to corrupt it, I can submit it now and have another week to procrastinate before actually starting.
All papers are due at 11:59 p.m. Thursday night, must be emailed as a plain text email, not attached as any proprietary format. You can also drop papers off physically at my office until 16:00 hours Thursday afternoon.
Unfortuanlty some professors got smart about this. “Submit as PDF and it if it don’t open its not my problem”

Thought for sure I was in the ADHD community
Or you could, like, make it now?
But why do that when I can watch this five hour YouTube documentary on the history of the chicken wing?
I call doing calculations like these self-defeating maths
