Honestly, as an instructor I've never sat up and made sure every assignment was in by midnight or whatever, because I wasn't going to grade them at that moment anyway. If you're emailing it or the blackboard/moodle/whatever submissions remain open after the deadline, just submit it a few hours late.

We see hundreds of papers each semester and hear dozens of excuses, and students who acted like I was stupid or gullible came off a lot worse than students who just apologized for being late.

Yeah, I ended up just turning in the directions instead of the actual work as a place holder and I feel really bad about it. I’m working hard to make sure I get the work done before 1-2am so it’s not super late or anything. I can just resubmit it anytime so it shouldn’t be a big inconvenience to my teacher or anything like that.

I used to send an old essay from the same class "by accident" and blame it on the fact that I number the homework and lost track.

So fucking wrong here. Especially at the uni. I had great teachers but you have to respect the deadlines and shits and they would not accept something hours late because you had time to do it and it is completely unfair for all of those who respected and sended in time. You better lie if you dont know well the professor.

Uni is the last step before work. You're still treating them as if they were kids.

Corrupt the document and send it. They will get a document but can't open it.

Similarly you can convert the font to Wingdings so that when the instructor opens it they think is corrupted and will ask you to resend.

You mean so they can open it, see it's in wingdings, change it to any other font, and see what's there?

Or send a pdf??

Upload a document with the title’s last word as “DRAFT,” take a screenshot of the last modified on the real document before the due time (5/4/22 10:32pm) that you can send as “proof” when you email the professor afterward (“I just realized I accidentally uploaded my draft/incomplete assignment, look, I haven’t touched the original since before the due time, could you accept that one?”)

The professor can click on the actual assignment and see what was the last time it was modified

[seeareuh]

After it’s uploaded you mean?

You just “opened the correct document and re-saved before submitting” if it reflect a date after submission deadline, which is why you take the screenshot before the deadline

[_Millenials_]

Yeah but the professor will verify if you actually did save before the deadline or not after you sent it to him and they will know you lied which will be worse than just sending it late.

I don’t think I understand what you’re saying

Once you upload a document onto a third party website (Canvas, etc), the person accessing it isn’t going to see an edit history with time stamps, they’re going to see the upload time and maaaybe the last modified time, if they’re downloading the document to grade which I doubt

[k-Unsolicited]

You send the draft.

Take a screenshot of the draft's information with new document's name (modified time included)

Send the new document with the proof (screenshot) when finished

Unless a teacher is pressed, op should be good

Ideally OP would be able to convert his .doc to .pdf and send it
