Late assignments will be handled based on a system of ``grace days'', as follows: Each student begins the term with 3 grace days. One grace day is 24 hours. If an assignment is due at 10:00 p.m. on a Thursday then an assignment handed in by 10:00 p.m. on Friday uses one grace day; if handed in by 10:00 p.m. Sunday, it uses up 3 grace days. The grace days are intended for use in emergencies (e.g., printer failure or car failure). Do not use them to buy an extension because of a busy week or you will be out of luck in a true emergency.
If you are at risk of missing a deadline due to a busy week, rather than use your grace days you should hand in a working (and tested) version of a simpler program. This will be easy to do if you have written and debugged a series of programs that accomplish more and more of the assigned problem.
In the event of an illness or other catastrophe, get proper documentation (e.g., medical certificate), and contact me (by phone, email or in person) as soon as possible. Do not wait until the due date has passed. It is always easier to make alternate arrangements before the due date or test day.
Since your assignments are submitted electronically and will usually be tested using an automated testing program, you must follow the submission instructions exactly. If you do not, you will most likely lose substantial marks on the assignment. If you find you have submitted the wrong file or omitted a file, please notify your instructor as soon as possible. Please see the web page for full details.
Requests for remarking must be done using the provided online form explaining in detail what your concern is. Requests for remarking should be submitted no later than one week after the assignment or test has been returned to the class.
