5 Late Policy
Some lectures are designed to exploit the fact that you’ve just finished an assignment and may show you the solution right afterwards. Once we’ve shown the solution, there may not be much left for you to do.
Because assignments are back-to-back, a late handin will cause work to overlap with subsequent assignments, making it difficult to catch up.
Dealing with late homeworks fragments the time of the course staff, which affects our other responsibilities; or, we have to put off all grading until the late assignments come in, which is unfair to the students who turned in on time.
The deadline is set so that you can finish work in the evening, turn in your material, and still get a good night’s sleep so you are awake and alert for class.
Our times are always in CITMT, i.e., CIT Meridian Time.
Nevertheless, we recognize that sometimes, you may have issues that preclude
submitting on time. In general, if you have an extenuating
circumstance for which you can get a Dean’s note, that is grounds for
an extension on assignments. (When this happens, even if you have
trouble getting in touch with a Dean, don’t wait —
notify us you want to use your “late pass” on that homework, and
turn in the solution within 24 hours of the original due date
