Submitting a draft early is certainly something that could be done but it was plainly stated on the website that your submission would not be evaluated until the submission was finalized. So doing a draft is nice but it would not have counted.

I am also an educator and I would find it totally unacceptable REGARDLESS of statements made previously if as a professor, I would not have been in my office the day something was done or had arranged to have someone there to accept those assignments.

I think it goes both ways...

I don't think anyone was asking for a week extension or anything.... just enough time yesterday... say until the end of the day... to be able to turn in the document.

Mentors and coaches were all under the gun to get a robot in the bag the night before this.... so on the West Coast we had exactly one night to finish up the Dean's List nominations and get them in because some of us have day jobs.

Granted we might have done it early but the fact remains that we all plan our time out and schedule activities....

It was unfortunate that it happened....but it could have been fixed...
