What unusual/innovative methods are there to deal with late submissions of assessment?
In an effort to avoid whining and prolong the lives of grandmothers, I experimented with giving students a bank of &quot;late days&quot; which they could use to defer submission of homework.  In an effort to teach some time management, I made the students responsible for telling me that they intended to use late days before the due date of the assignment.
That did not work.  &quot;I'm sorry my assignment was late, but....&quot; turned into &quot;I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was going to use late days, but...&quot;
