    to Hello Professor How are you? I am writing to you because there was a grading mistake from the assignment that was due on February 1st. It shows that you marked off 10 points as a late penalty however as you can see on Canvas, I properly submitted the document in a timely manner before the due date at 11:46 PM on 01/31/ Please let me know whenever you fix the grade. Thank you.

    Hi to me 8:26 PM I have just now checked and see that the ↑ ... assignment was submitted 13 minutes before the posted due date however you must understand that it was handed in on a last-minute basis which is the reason why you received a late penalty. As a result, I will not be removing the late penalty deduction and would advise you to submit your work no less than an hour before the due date moving forward. Thank you for Thank you. I will Okay. thank

    OregonKlee8367 Maybe he should have said that deadline is one hour before Feb 1. then... Go complain to his Boss. We follow the letter of the law not the spirit...

    [deleted] ⚫ Instructor made a mistake and is too petty to go back and change it. So they doubled down. It's obviously against policy; take it to the dean or whomever is in charge of that section of classes.

    earbud . What's the point of a deadline if it's actually not the deadline? Do not engage anymore than you have to with them. Let them know you will be working with administration to resolve this matter.
