    Nothing. Or say it was a family emergency! That's what my best friend did for her tech assignment. Luckily her girlfriend's grandfather was in the hospital and they were able to get a note.

    Better luck next time?

    you need to have a note from the police officers that were on the scene of the accident.

    Beg. I don't know. It sounds like your prof is a total dick

    If you submitted it electronically before the deadline, it shouldn't matter if your paper copy was late, since it would be exactly the same. If the prof doesn't accept that fact, then I would consider going to the dean. There's the risk of retaliation for the remainder of the semester though.

    OR perhaps you should explain your situation to the TA if they're the ones marking the assignment and see if your work can be squeezed into the pile.

    ask the prof if he knows your name, if he doesn't, throw your work into the middle of his pile and walk away.

    :P

    some private extra-curricular activities with your prof should do the job.

    If the prof is a woman, sleep with her.

    If the prof is a man..............sleep with him.

    but on his assignment, it says no late assignment accepted and handing only one copy gets blah blah % off....
