The Last-Minute Assignment Survival Guide

It happens to everyone at least once: the deadline is hours away and the document is empty. The instinct to paste the brief into an AI tool is strong. Resist it — that is how a late assignment becomes an academic-integrity case.

First, triage

• ✦Re-read the rubric and mark where the points actually are.
• ✦Write your argument in one sentence before you write anything else.
• ✦Draft the body first; intro and conclusion are faster once the middle exists.

If you genuinely cannot finish

Email your tutor early and honestly — many will grant a short extension for a real reason. If that is not possible, get a real person to help. We run same-day turnarounds with actual graduates, so the work is fast and still genuinely human.

“Nothing to detect. Because nothing is AI.”
