It has to be done by tomorrow at some specified time.

For example, if your class starts at 6 pm tomorrow, and the homework will require one hour to complete, then you can start any time between now and 5:00 pm tomorrow.

Amir OghlowIt's due on Friday.
What time on Friday? There must be a time so you can determine if you are late or not.
Otherwise, if it's due on Friday, I would submit it on Thursday (or earlier), so there is no doubt about its being late.
