Wondering how to turn in late work on Google Classroom on time? Here’s everything you must know in this regard.
A free learning platform developed by Google, Google Classroom came to the rescue of both teachers and students when offline education took a backseat due to COVID-induced lockdowns across the globe. The platform enabled teachers and students to embrace the online mode of education without hurdles.
From daily lessons to assignments, the platform has covered every base quite effectively. After the teacher has uploaded the assignment under the Classwork section, students can take it from there and upload the completed version in their preferred format.
However, it’s common for students to miss the assignment’s deadline and turn in their work post the due date. If that has happened to you in the past and if you’re wondering how to turn in late work on Google Classroom on time, this article has the answer. So, read on.
