Submits
It says: “Late”
Utter Confusion
Glances at deadline
“Due at 11:59 AM”
(Reason why 24 hour format is superior)
This would be diabolic. No one makes something due at a time ending 59 other than 23:59.
I could totally imagine this happening by mistake, due to 12 hr time error.
I wish people would talking in 24 hour time, even
Not really “diabolic”, its common in my highschool when class is in the afternoon and the teachers want to make it sort of like those paper homework where its due at class time, so you could technically finish it in other classes or lunch time before that class actually begins.
Ah I guess that’s fair
Or you could just, y’know… read.
When I was in college, I remember one of my profs telling me that so many students submit assignments just before the 12am deadline. I always thought it was madness that someone would play it that close to the deadline, but people do.
hi that’s me, i was one of the many students. usually at least 30min before though as we often got warned that the submission servers could be slowed down around the deadline itself so i didn’t want to risk it
why? adhd. i am close to incapable of starting a task if it’s not urgent. it’s not fun but forcing my brain to not do that is actual hell
Yeah I literally can’t arse myself to do anything unless it’s within the bare minimum time left.
Which sucks because when I know I can do something easily, I end up giving myself even less time.
I have ADHD too. The trick is to trick your brain into thinking it’s urgent by training yourself to have anxiety anytime there is a looming deadline.
Worked great for me and I got a 4.0 in engineering. But now I have anxiety issues.
friend, that- that’s not a trick, that’s the adhd defealt
I didn’t do that because I wanted to. I just struggle to do anything important without a looming deadline. It sucks. I wrote a 25 page paper in a single night once and it was miserable (the experience, not the paper - the paper got an A).
I’m trying to prep for a move right now and it’s like I’m paralyzed. I know I should do the thing but I can’t seem to make my body do it, so I just sit and hate myself.
The smart students do a little bit of the paper each day (research / outlining / etc).
The not as smart students try to cram it in all at once.
I know because I’ve been both.
Well done, lumping neurodivergent students in with “not as smart” students 😑
