    If I've a meeting with 'Huge company' and am a few minutes late, do they 1. go 'Oh well maybe he was stuck in the lift' OR 2. go 'Well this guy sucks, we won't be using him'. Submit early, confirm it's correct and if somethings gone wrong you leave your self time to fix it. As long as the goal posts haven't moved, the students don't have a leg to stand on.

  • @djsmiley2k, most 90% of the time they are late! Therefore you being a few minutes late is unlikely to have an effect. Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 13:16
  • Then the one on time can be happy that they get the full reward for being on time @Ian ! Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 13:38

    @djsmiley2k Sure, but there's a difference between being a minute late and 30 minutes late. Even "huge company" won't make much of a fuss if you're a minute late. Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 19:25

    @djsmiley2k I hate comparisons of education to a job. (I assume college) A student is paying huge sums of money to the college/professor, not the other way around. Nobody is paying the student for this, don't pretend like that's the case/model. I'll take a JOBS 101 class if i wanted to learn all about job stuff. Commented Dec 1, 2016 at 17:52
