Assignments
All assignments are due as of the start of class as listed on the assignment schedule. The goal with the assignment due dates is to keep your work in the course progressing and to allow us to provide you feedback on where you are in the course. Turning in assignments late often makes other assignments late. Late work will be charged 33.3% of the assignment value per day late. After 3 days, no late assignments will be accepted. If you have an extenuating circumstance - it is always better to contact the Professor or TA in advance, but we can sometimes make an allowance after the fact.
