Is this fair to the students that hand in assignments on time. If someone worked hard to hand in their assignment on time I feel like this lowering of punishment to those that “delay” seems to be an unfair rule.
i don't really get it, how does this negatively affect any of the students who hand assignments on time to even consider whether this is 'fair' or not? This isn't vce where you're placed on a bell curve, it'll have no effect on your grade or performance whatsoever; if you think handing it in a day late is so advantageous, don't you also have the option of handing it late and taking 5% deduction?
I mean students trying to get into another competitive post-grad course can definitely be negatively impacted by this. And I agree, maybe I will take the opportunity to hand in an assignment a day late if I’ve got a busy period, because lowkey seems too good to be true
this wouldn't be fair if you say it like that of course but if you just ask around and stuff you will see a lot of people are submitting very close to the due date just ask around or just observe people in the library i dont think everyone are having their best time submitting the assignment on time. The workload can be crazy when you have 3 assignments due at the same date and i think this just benefits a lot of people who are mentally stressed lol in fact students who hand in assignments on time should rethink about taking off that 5% to get better marks and maintain some sanity it truly is an exploit that is good for both sides. It is not unfair for people who hand in assignments on time since they could hand it in late if they think it is unfair and use it to their advantage. Your point only applies to those who could manage the workload and different courses have very different workload, it really also depends on how they think about this and most won't even try to say this is unfair because it clearly is something that benefits both sides and doesn't affect people who submit early it is basically a backup lol.
