I don't know of any professor who assigns an essay and expects it the next class though. They don't want to grade all that work as much as you don't want to do all that work.
Many times they have teachers aides, usually grad students to grade the work, and Sometimes professors are unrealistic assholes. I had a professor that announced we had homework the morning of class, due that day, annouced at 7 am due at 11am. She was pissed when like 5 students had done it. Most of the class didnt even realize she had announced the homework as they were still asleep or in other classes. She very reluctantly allowed us to make it up, but only with a hit of -30% to the score.
that's messed up. Where I went professors would conference to make sure they didn't assign a bunch of work at the same time, it would all be online or you'd get like 3 weeks for each assignment, the whole semester for a very large assignment (15-30 pages)
