Late Work Policy
To best help you achieve success in Chem 9, try your best to keep track for due dates and meet deadlines. If life events interrupt your work in this class, please contact me as soon as possible so I can provide as much support as possible. Assignments turned in late detract from your ability to keep up with the course, and slow down your overall learning.
Assignments can be submitted early. If you submit an assignment before the due date/time, you can re-submit or edit before the due date/time.
Late assignments will be accepted. However, the following percentage-based deductions will be applied.
1 day late = 20% deduction of points
2 days late = 40% deduction of points
3 days late = 60% deduction of points
4 days late = 80% deduction of points
more than 5 days late = 0 points for the assignment
Assignments submitted after the due date/time have deductions to the score, by 20% each day.
Assignments remain open after the due date/time, though no points accrued if submitted more than five days late.
These policies are designed to protect students who work hard to meet scheduled deadlines.
