There have been too many fucking times where I worked on an assignment, finished it, forgot to submit and then didn’t remember that until midnight. Ive made it with seconds to spare before but I’ve also missed it by tens of minutes. There was at least one time (that I can think of) where I got a zero for submitting single-digit amounts of minutes late before and the professor wasn’t hearing any of it. I think it was either 12:03 or 12:05.
There was a major deadline last sunday. 10 minutes past midnight, I got a mail from a student…
…did you accept it?
No, they have to wait three weeks for their next chance to hand it in. The rules are very clear on that and the impact is not too bad.
Why does it matter? It’s not like you’d have graded it in those few minutes.
