Late Work Policy

If you need an extension on an assignment, please schedule an appointment to visit my office during office hours (either in person or on Zoom). During this meeting, we can discuss time management and course material to find a solution. While I can't guarantee extensions for all assignments, I will do my best to accommodate you when possible.

Please note that exams and quizzes can only be made up in cases of extenuating circumstances. If you need to make up an exam or quiz, arrange an office hours meeting with me to discuss your situation.

Late submissions are subject to a 10% deduction per day for all other assignments up to a maximum of 10 days. After 10 days, the assignment will receive a zero.
