*magic*

Basically, you became an author

I think it works once. If you are usually a reliable student you get the benefit of the doubt. If you always have an excuse for why your work isn't done the teacher will catch on.

this is just nice from the teacher

But he showed his work on the actual banana.

Teachers have cottoned on to this and some submission systems now change all the font to black on submissions.

Gotta do what you gotta do to survive..

whaat

That's a clever trick

Unlikely, but it may have allowed you to submit it after the deadline. The submission time would still be recorded on the server. However, if the submission time was not displayed or the teacher didn't look at it, they may not have cottoned on to it being late.

Those were the good times! I had bought a college copy of SPSS in 2001 and it was valid for 4 years, the time it took to get my masters. But after that I could still use it everytime I changed my laptop time! Best investment ever!

I remember dong this a few times - the 90s were great for tricks like this :P

Once upon a time, there was a Gmail feature that allowed you to send an email up to two weeks in the past.

Believe it or not this happens in corporate world all the time. Companies deliver unusable things knowing full well that it will take time for the features to get fully tested and by that time they will have actual solutions.

Bull that's not how an anechoic chamber would work for one and if the teacher had half a brain they would know that and call out your lieing butt

love it! I did the some thing once just with the first one

Nice

I did this to my aunt once to annoy her.

We had to do a PowerPoint presentation, some time to with in class, finish it at home. I was having some motivation issue that year and didn't have PowerPoint at home. I took the floppy I'd started at school, crinkled the dusk so it got shut in the metal slide, then acted amazed when I couldn't open my presentation. I got to give my presentation/facts with someone's sides from another period. Don't feel bad because we couldn't afford PowerPoint, especially for one assignment.

Intruder alert!

Dang, I never had teachers like this. If the teacher couldn't find the assignment they'd always claim it wasn't their misplacing, it was the students who didn't turn it in then would give a zero.

Would not have worked in my uni! Teachers would say that you had to be prepared to hand it over during this specific class, that it was your job to plan it in advance and that waiting 'till the d-day to print it was a risk you chose to take so now own up to it. And honestly I agree, it's annoying when people don't give a **** and then ask for understanding; like that's both childish and disrespectful! (of course I understand that there are moments when you do have a good reason for missing a deadline and I think teachers should take it into consideration but that's different)

anyone who can reasonably fake a computer error to get past me will pass.

Teachers fault

Easy enough now to see if a file has been changed. Had a student submit a digital "doctor's note" with the date changed and I could prove she'd changed the date easily and she got expelled.

Why wouldn't the teacher insist that you write legibly? In high school?

I have done this in the working world.

Our Biology prof in College had us write summaries to the chapters and turn them in for credit (10 points each.) After about 4 chapters, she complained that the class summaries made it obvious that people were not reading the chapters and finding the important points. She then pointed everyone in my direction as I'd gotten 10 points on all of my summaries. Thanks a lot! I wasn't about to tell anyone that I just skimmed through the chapter and wasn't really reading it myself.

We would sometimes skip one class to do work for another.

and that actually worked??

still works in office environments as well. BUT you have to send the mail at close of business so they only read your mail and complain about the missing attachment the next day.

I thought about doing that many times in both high school and University, but I could never find an appropriate topic for a paper that would justify reassignment into classes. I don't see why it would be plagiarism though!
