  1. Deadlines are set so that there is sufficient time for assignments to be completed and submitted. Therefore, deadlines will be rigorously enforced.
  2. You are strongly advised to start work on assignments as soon as possible and not leave submission to the last moment.
  3. After a deadline has expired, I will discuss solutions for the assignment and therefore, under no circumstances will I accept or mark assignments that are late. If you do not submit a solution by the deadline, then you will be awarded a mark of zero.
  4. Under exceptional circumstances, if the entire class is unduly overloaded during the period of the assignment, I will extend the deadline for the entire class. Note that having two or more deadlines at approximately the same time is not sufficient grounds for a change.
  5. All assignments must be submitted electronically. If there are system problems with the CA network during the 24 hours prior to submission, then the deadline may be extended.
  6. Problems with other networks or personal equipment will not be accepted as an excuse for late submission. Therefore, if you plan to submit assignments remotely, you are strongly advised to do so early enough (e.g., at least 24 hours before the deadline) so that you can use the CA network if you have a problem.
  7. If you have a specific reason (e.g., illness) for not submitting an assignment you may write to the Programme Board explaining the situation and enclosing appropriate documentation (e.g., a doctor's certificate). This can be done by submitting a letter to the Faculty Office and sending me a copy. Under such circumstances you will still be awarded a mark of zero, but your case will be discussed by the Programme Board.
  8. There are no repeat assignments during the summer.
