The student summarizes a conversation they had with another student before their Pathology class. They discuss how the student did poorly on a big project that was due last week because they did not have enough time. The project was worth 25% of their grade, so the student is worried they may fail the course as a result. Two weeks before the due date, they had asked the instructor for more time but the request was denied. However, the other student stated they had also asked for more time on the project and was given an extension until the following week without any late penalties.
