Exactly. Not to mention it makes it hard on a teacher's after hours workload. Especially with humanities, there's lots of longer papers to mark, I'd imagine they set aside time to grade certain assignments during certain weeks/weekends. Suddenly when they've moved on to slotting a weekend of marking the next long paper, 20 kids hand in the previous assignment they now have to shoehorn in to that already busy weekend of marking. Or several students handing in the bulk of an entire semester of work when the teacher is trying to finalize marks or grade final papers. It's very inconsiderate on the student's part, and to the teacher's workload outside of class time.
Imagine if you're an accountant, and instead of April taxes being due, you can just hand it in whenever. Suddenly it's December 28th and you get hit with the bulk of people's taxes coming in. Does that sound fair?
