When the syallabus says that all late work for the entire semester is due at the beginning of class on Monday, March 27, why do students think it's acceptable to drop it in my mailbox after class on Monday, or e-mail me attached papers at 3:00 a.m. on Tuesday, or bring them to class on Wednesday? Aaagh! It's that time of the year, guys. I'm overwhelmed with my own stuff...I don't need the extra burden of being flooded with a thousand late late papers after the deadline for late work. Grrr. When I get to write my own syllabus next semester, there will be a hard and fast "no late work accepted unless your grandma died or you were in the hospital" policy.
