PSA that in the UK university system individual academics are not able to offer deadline extensions. A module leader almost never has the authority to tell a student & #39;you can hand in a week late& #39;. I know its different in the USA & I think ppl are getting the wrong impression.

Seeing alarming tweets about & #39;cruel& #39; professors not giving extensions & really think we need to be explicit about who can and can& #39;t act within the UK system as its clearly not common knowledge
