[QUOTE="JLCivic, post: 1321305, member: 547424"] i am sure it happens, but the reason better be legit(death in the family, etc). I see it more in graduate school(I went through a masters program and am now taking more courses....working toward a CAS), BUT the professors understand that everybody in the grad courses are working full time jobs, have families, etc so they do give some slack. I have a final paper due tomorrow night(nearly finished), but I know if I walked into class tomorrow night and said I needed another day, he would most likely grant it. I don't think I have ever handed in a late paper in high school, undergrad, or grad school. I guess I was just raised to do your work and produce it on time. Kids in my school get away with late work because "it is basketball season, and after that is over, I can get caught up." To that I give a resounding "Huh?" Since when is sports or any other extracurricular activity(drama is a huge one for this) authorization to just not get work in on time. I say if you can't keep up with your schoolwork while doing the extracurricular activities, it should not be the academics that suffer. The attitude that teachers take sometimes just has me shaking my head. [/QUOTE]
