If that is not possible, questions should be sent to the course staff. By having questions sent to all of us, you will get answers much more quickly. Please indicate email subject as BC1003.

Late submission policy

In case students request for late submission of assignments. Send the teaching staff, including the instructor and the TA an email with the subject "BC1003 late submission" at least one day before the due date. Students who request for late submission shall get an approval from the instructor. Within three days after the due date, please submit a hardcopy to the TA.
