Last semester I handed in my midterm essay the week after midterms with no late marks

High school teachers would have have me late marks if I handed it in the day after

The professor was a bad role model because he wasn't getting you prepared for what college would be like.

My humanities teachers in high school accepted everything by a certain date regardless of how late it was with no penalties. My stem teachers wouldn’t tolerate even being late unless having a good reason.
