You could hand in assignments months after they were due and teachers were forced to give you good grades. It was supposed to remove stress from people who struggled, but the results were catastrophic. People that were originally successful now felt that the work they were doing was wasted because others could half ass the assignment and get a similar mark. And a large percentage of people simply took advantage of the system by never doing any work at all. They are only now reinstating failing grades and docking marks for late assignments.
