Late Polcy
The course syllabus says:
Late work will be penalized 5% per day (or part thereof) for the
first day, and 10% per day after that.
Saturday and Sunday will count as one day for this policy.
You may not receive credit for work that is more than 4 days late.
Examples
Here are some examples to make this policy clearer.
Imagine that an assignment is due on Wednesday the
nth day of June.
-
at the beginning of class on Wednesday the
nth
- then there is no late penalty
-
5 minutes after the beginning of class on Wednesday the
nth, or
-
at the end of class (on Wednesday the nth), or
-
before midnight on Wednesday the nth then
- there is a 5% late penalty
-
anytime during Thursday the n+1 of June then
- there is a 15% late penalty
- (15% is 5% for the first day plus 10% for part of the second day)
-
anytime during Friday the n+2 of June then
- there is a 25% late penalty
- (25% is 15% for the first two days plus 10% for part of the third day)
-
anytime during Saturday or Sunday (the n+3 and n+4 of
June) then
- there is a 35% late penalty
- (35% is 25% for the first three days plus 10% for part of the weekend)
-
anytime during Monday the n+5 of June then
- there is a 45% late penalty
-
after 12:00:01a.m. on Monday the n+5 of June then
- the assignment will receive a grade of zero
Completion Requirement
Note also that to earn a grade higher than C+ you you must have
submitted at least 60% of the assignments and homeworks within five
days of their being due.
I count Saturday and Sunday as a single `day' for late penalties but
as two days for the completion requirement.
