Late policy 

  • The homework assignment due date and time is the one posted on the web.
  • Slip days: To accommodate for coinciding deadlines you may have from other courses, or personal unforeseen events such as sickness, 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 Contact the instructor, with written documentation, like doctor's note.
