No Subject Given
Then I'd make this a mandatory rule: If you cannot turn in an assignment on the day that it is due, because "the hard drive crashed/ate my homework", you must bring in the offending part. If I can throw said part into my bare bones system, and make it boot up, you fail the assignment. If you don't bring in the hard drive in question, you fail the assignment.
Good thing I'm not a teacher.
