i think one of the biggest differences between school and work is the deadline or due date and how it is perceived. most of the dates i have to hit now are the ones i give myself. when did your prof ask you "when do you think you'll be done with this class?"...
if i miss an estimate, i tell someone and we deal with it. the more i do that, the less i'm wrong with the estimate in the first place. (given, that's not so relevant in school as you have more than enough time, always;)
i/we were there- went to college, had sideways priorities and schedule pressure. this kind of sh*t is for people that don't want to do the work in the first place...
bottom line- you think a good teacher doesn't know when they're getting snowed? you're wrong.
...and i say that as someone that, in school, didn't always want to do the work and still didn't lie to people when i missed deadlines and screwed myself.
i rant, but... as long as you care, even a little bit- TALK TO YOUR TEACHERS! they'll cut you ten times the slack that a corrupted file gimmick will ever win you.
