W: Oh, Dan. Come on in. I’ve just graded the midterm exams for your class. You had one of the highest scores. So, what can I do for you?
M: Dr. Wilson, I’m really worried about the paper due tomorrow — you know that case study. So far I haven’t done a thing beyond gathering the data, and I have two more midterms tomorrow morning. I was hoping you’d give me an extension till Friday.
W: Well, Dan, when I assigned the paper during the first week of the semester, I emphasized that late papers would be punished. You’re free to turn in your case study late, but I’ll have to lower your grade for it. If I gave you extension, it wouldn’t be fair to the other students. You’re a good writer, Dan. It shouldn’t take that much time to turn your data into a solid report.
M: But I haven’t even made my outline yet, and I’m having a hard time with the computer analysis of the data.
W: It sounds to me like you’re just putting it off.
M: I really am working on it, but I just can’t get it finished and I’ve got to study for two other tests by tomorrow afternoon! But I might be able to get it done after class...maybe...by midnight tomorrow.
W: Hmm...I didn’t specify what time the paper was due. But I’m leaving campus at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, and they lock this building at 11:00 p.m.
M: Still, if it’s under your door when you get in Thursday morning, you can’t say I turned it in late, right？
W: Right.
