Late policy
- The homework assignment due date and time is the one posted on the
web.
- Slip days: Each
person has an automatic extension of
4 calendar days - no questions asked.
You can use the
extension on any assignment(s) remaining during the semester. For
instance, you can hand in one assignment 4 days late, or each of
four assignments 1 day late.
-
- Late days are rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, a
submission that is 4 hours late will count as one day late.
- When you hand in a late assignment, you must identify at the
top of the assignment, (i) how late this assignment is, and (ii)
how much of the total slip time you have left.
- After you have used up your slip time, any assignment handed in
late will be marked off 25%
per day. That is, after 4 days, the grade will be zero.
- Extreme circumstances, like medical emergencies, etc.:
In such cases, additional, no-penalty extensions will be granted
Bring written documentation, like doctor's note.
