<p>Has anyone ever gotten an extension for a school project?</p>
<p>I'm having difficulties pulling together my current US History project. Unlike everyone else in the class, I'm working alone, and will not be able to finish by the deadline. Would it be a good idea to talk to the teacher about getting an extension or just buck it up and stay up until three tonight? </p>
<p>The teacher is normally pretty nice and understanding. Think I have a chance? </p>
<p>It's just an average history course. I've had several different projects going at once, and a few school sanctioned trips, just as an added in tid bit of information.</p>
<p>Since I’m assuming it’s due tonight, maybe you should get off of CC? Lol.
I dunno, you might as well just ask, and if you’re not the type of person that usually begs for extra time, it might be fine with the teacher. I know if I asked any of my teachers for an extension, they’d let me, simply because I don’t EVER ask for things like that.</p>
<p>It’s due tomorrow. I’ve been working on it for awhile and no matter what I do I can’t seem to pull it together. I expected to have it done this weekend, but that didn’t happen. </p>
<p>Damn perfectionism is killing me this year.</p>
<p>Erm, well, it couldn’t hurt to ask, I suppose. I don’t think they would penalize you simply for asking.</p>
<p>Usually huge projects (in my experience anyway) have a policy of either no lates allowed (because we’d have had a lot of time to work on them and should have had them done already) or lenient late work penalties (ie 10% off for every day it’s late). If you can’t have an extension then find out what your teacher’s policy is regarding late work (check the syllaubus or intro sheet from the beginning of the year) and go with that.</p>
<p>The odd thing about the project is for a project with such a high grade is we had little time to work on it. </p>
<p>I’m getting closer to being done. I had to take a different approach. I have to do more than is graded to do it how i need to, which take longer, but I have a system at least.</p>
<p>I say: Chug a bottle of Monster…I would say you’re in for one heck of a night (assuming its due tomorrow).
I never depend on the understanding of a teacher because half the time they’re like “sorry, rules are rules”
I would pull an over nighter…</p>
<p>^ I am. The teacher wasn’t at the school today and she’s not responding to my email. I’m about to look up her name in the phone book and pull a stalker move, but I’m not that desperate. </p>
<p>I don’t see how a project can be that stressing, but uh, good luck. Try your best and do it; if it’s that hard, I’m assuming yours will be one of the better ones.</p>
<p>It’s not that the project in and of itself is hard, it’s just I don’t like the results I’m getting. The project in and of itself is simple, I’m just being perfectionist, which stresses me out and having to have it all done by tommorow makes it worse.</p>
