I'm confused about the deadline for an online assignment

[jds2006]

So I'm taking an online intro to psych course and my teacher gave out an assignment that is due on Monday at midnight. Right now it's Sunday, 9:22PM and I havn't really started the assignment yet and I'm kinda confused about how much time I have left to complete the assignment. By saying that the assignment is due on Monday at midnight, does she mean that it's due in 2 hours and 38 minutes, or that it's due in 14 hours and 37 minutes?

Because anyone but your Prof can actually answer that question...

I would take that to mean midnight at the end of Monday, or 26.5 hours from now (assuming that's how it works out for your time zone). This is, I suppose, not technically accurate. But my experience has been that this is what people generally mean.

If you're really worried, then hurry and see if you can get it done before the "first" midnight.

Call a classmate? Better yet, call the prof. She'll love it if you call her now.

most likely it's due tomorrow at midnight. i've never had a hw assignment due on the weekend, i.e. end of day saturday or sunday.

All my professors got into the habit of saying 11:59 PM for things like this

If it's not going to take more than an hour or something, just do it now, and ask next class.

Ya, she might even ask him to come over
