Hack #1: Late assignments on online courses.
Use at your own discretion.
1. Backdate your computer to date of when you're supposed to start on the assignment.
2. Create the document file needed (Word/Excel/Powerpoint). Enter dummy text (best to write up the first paragraph, so it looks more legit).
3. Fast forward your computer date to the submission date and leave a gap of a few hours before submission deadline. Open the file, save it again this time.
4. Now, close the file, open Windows Explorer. Right-click on the file, and open with Notepad.
5. When Notepad opens, you'll see a bunch of gibberish text. Delete a chunk of them. Not all, but just a chunk. This will corrupt the file. Save it.
6. Submit your file. ;)
So by the time your instructor sees it, it may or may not be corrupted, but if he tries to re-open it, it'll be corrupted completely by then. So you have ample time to finish your work. :D Be smart. Don't use it too often, and use it well. ;)
