Late Submissions of Course Work and Missing a Quiz

Project and term paper milestones are due at the beginning of class. If they are turned in late, they will be considered one day late. The late penalty is a deduction of 10 points for every day the work is late including all weekends and holidays. Consequently, a piece of work turned in more than nine days after the deadline will receive a zero grade. Writeups on assigned readings will not be accepted after the deadline and a grade of zero will be assigned. Similarly, BSCW assignments for the W4901 students will not be accepted after the deadline, and a grade of zero will be assigned. Missing a quiz will also result in a grade of zero.

Extensions and makeups are arranged only in the case of severe illness, dire emergencies and religious observances. Appropriate documentation must be presented to one of the instructors regarding the nature and duration of the illness or emergency as soon as possible. Documentation is also needed for any religious observances not listed in the SEAS bulletin.
