I have a very firm no late work policy with my culinary arts students. They are given the assignments weeks in advance, and I even offer to proof and "pre-grade" or give feedback on how they could improve. I offer this "free of charge" as an incentive to turn in quality work on time. I explain that my boss does not accept late work and that neither will I. I always relate it to the "real world" and let them know I am doing them a dis-service if I take late work. What do you think? Too harsh?
