Not that there's any real point to this, but it's 3:15 am, which gives me about 13 hours to come up with about 700 more words on Great Expectations, and i'm basing it entirely on that South park episode if anyone's seen it. So i guess i'm posting this to put off trying to come up with anything bloody else. And all the other bloody students have checked out all the books from the library so i can't reference or find new ideas.
Uni'd be great if i didn't have to do work.

Finally got it done and i can leave this bloody library. Now for the real question, since it's 20 to 6, do i goto sleep and risk sleeping through the hand in deadline? Oh decisions decisions.
and then hand the work in and grab an hour of lie down where you can
remember, afternoon naps are what its all about
There's no way i'm going back in there.
I'll like that idea though. I've never really considered an afternoon nap before.
you housemate wasnt expecting you home, dear lord did he think you were going to be in the library for days?
though from personal experience, that dont sound too far fetched
Were you in Collegiate Learning Centre? The thought of being there til this time is not a nice thought. I find it a very intimidating library
Glad you got it done, though
I've still got four assignments to do that are due in next week
What I have known it as is that for every day late the essay is you get 10% (i've even known 20% too!) knocked off your mark.
So, even if you got 70% but your essay was one day late, (by one day, i mean anything up to 24 hours after the due date, so even if you were only an hour late it still classes as one day),you only get 60%.
I have 3 assignments to do this week. One is almost finished. I'm onto the next now
Yup.
Handing in an essay late, without an agreed extension, is not a good thing to do. You *will* get penalised in one way or another. Deadlines are there for reasons and are not there as a general guide and if handed in up to 24 hours late "it's ok really". It ain't.
your university, im sorry to say, is very lenient, many places just give you 0%, and then if they allow you to do another piece of work for it, will give you a max of 40%
If your uni lecturer told you this then if you do get a penalty explain the situation and your lecturer should be able to sort it out. He gave you an extension, official or not and it will be his fault.
See, I actually think that your uni is overly harsh with this. Sometimes there *are* extenuating circumstances that mean you cannot hand in an assignment on the date. I have never *ever* heard of a uni that will give you zero marks if it isn't in on time.
As far as i'm aware, they seal the submission box at 4pm on the day, and that's it. If you're works not in there, you don't get a mark, and fail the module.
Though last year my friend got several months extensions after some family stuff...
They're not strict on attendance though, you either go...or you don't. I pay for the bloody course though, so i'm damned i'm not going to attend it.
Check it out in your student manual, but Sheffield Hallam always used to have a 40% max policy on late submissions. Of course, that would mean you had to do the work again, but it wouldn't automatically fail you, which is uberharsh.
