“Due Date” vs “Do Date”
If there really are teachers who list assignments by “do date” rather than “due date,” I’ve never heard from one.
Students who fall behind sometimes say “I didn’t know whether the readings listed for Monday are due on *Monday* or whether they are due on *Wednesday*.”
How likely is it that the student really *is* confused about whether Monday=Monday or Monday=Wednesday? How likely is it that the student is exaggerating a little, pretending to be confused in order to ease the consequences of falling behind? Thoughts?

When I was in college the answer is “all of the above”. I got legitimately confused more times than I should admit, once or twice I exaggerated my confusion but for me those were cases like “Ok, it’s 15 minutes before class and…ooooooooooooooh s!@#!@, I completely misread this and thought it wasn’t due until later…crap, crap, crap…”. I didn’t personally lie, because frankly I really was scatterbrained sometimes and I just…didn’t.
I knew several other people who did though, so some of the people are doing that.
I can say I’ve legitimately gotten confused a few times. :-/ And also seen people lie about it a few times, so… :-/
