Time management and meeting deadlines is one of the skills that needs to be taught in high school if the student is going to have success in post-secondary education or life in general.
Um... in almost all my undergrad classes, assignments were worth 5-10%, labs 10-15% and exams worth the rest. Look at the library at any time other then exams, then look the library at exam times... students have a gift of working the system and not opening a textbook till 24 hrs before an exam.

I found HS to be way more strict about deadlines then univ.
