Have a due date coming up for work/school/whatever? (1 Viewer)

And how would they know it was last minute? Even if they could tell, what does it matter if it wasn't late?

Exactly. If it was rushed in the last minute, that would be evident in the quality of the paper; there's no need for arbitrarily applying the "late assignment" penalty. For all the professor knows, the student was having connection issues or something.

Im not sure if there was a note, this was a while ago, they might have. The school 100% did confirm though that I was gone and they let my professors know. I don’t know what the professors deal was. He even asked me if I’m sure I had a medical reason which is weird af because like I said, the health department confirmed my absence and I saw the emails they sent to the professors (I was added to them).

The best answer would have been:

The health department confirmed and informed you. Requesting any further information would be a violation of HIPPA Act. If you'd like to go there we can talk about it in the deans office and then court. I'm 100% certain tenure can't protect you from that lawsuit. Choice is yours.

People say the law is boring, but once you understand it enough to utilize it as a weapon... things get interesting.

Professors always have such big egos & 90% of them are assholes ngl

just take it up with the head of department and then to the dean/chancellor etc etc

You better not submit it less than an hour before the due date, otherwise its a "last minute effort" and worthy of a late penalty
In summary a student turned in an assignment 13 minutes before the due date/time, was given a late penalty, and when asked about it the professor agreed that it was turned in on time but because it was less than an hour before it represented a "last minute effort" and therefore decided they wouldn't get rid of the penalty.

what school from hell made up that rule?
id get so many late penalties like a football player ( Football Americano aka American football) getting penalty after penalty for holding calls
glad that penalty isnt in my school or id be a straight up failiure
but im already a failure on so many different levels
