| Early Submission Policy | Most, if not all, assignments will have online submissions, typically at 11:59PM on the assigned date. If you submit your assignment more than 6 hours before the deadline, you will get 5% bonus on that assignment. |
| Late Submission Policy | The deadlines will be hard. Please prepare to submit a couple of hours before the deadline. Network connection problems, hard drive crashing, blue screen of death, and similar reasons will not be honored for missing the deadline.
You have three days of extension which can be used any time over the semester. The quantum of extension will be one day. There will be no additional extensions whatsoever on grounds of medical emergency etc.
For project related deadlines, there will be no extensions.
Late submission would automatically use up one extension day. If none remain, then a zero will be assigned for that submission.

| Graded Sheet Collection Policy | TAs will announce the date and time of collection on backpack.
If you are unable to collect your sheet on the specified day, you have the following options.
1. Request a friend to collect your sheet and inform the TA by email. Without your email, the answer sheet cannot be handed over to your friend.
2. Within one week of the announced date, you (or your friend) may collect your answer sheets during the TA's office hours (or by appointment).
3. In case of any discrepancy in grading, you must take the issue up within one week of the announced date. No requests will be entertained after this one week period.
