>>14275551As a professor, I was lenient my first semester teaching. I realized if I gave students a little wiggle room, one hour late turned into five hours late, which turned into two days late, and so on. It meant I couldn't post the solutions until I received all homeworks, and it wasn't fair. So I cracked down hard, and tell them I don't accept late homeworks. However, I don't have the solution posted until about an hour after the due time. Once I post the solution, I don't accept late work. That's my cutoff.
Ever since then, I've only had one student try to submit late homework (three hours past due). I had already posted the solutions to Blackboard, which I suspect the student didn't see. But I also don't care: he got a zero, with an email saying
>Student, the due time we [3 hours ago]. I will not grade this, and you will receive a zero for this homework assignment,
