Late policy
All assignments are to be submitted on the due date. On-time submissions are graded as normal. Late submissions (project abstract, project report, essays, etc...) incur a penalty:- <24h late incur a 10% penalty,
- <48h late incur a 30% penalty,
- submissions more than 48h late are not accepted and earn a mark of 0.
Re-marking
Students requesting re-marking of an assignment must submit detailed reasons in writing to the instructors within 2 weeks after receiving the grade. The request must include the written reasons as to why the students believe the work was incorrectly marked. Re-evaluation appeals are at the discretion of the instructors. Note: adjustments in marks will be rare and could equally result in a lowering or raising of the mark. If a re-revaluation is completed by the instructors, the student must accept the resulting mark as the new mark, whether it goes up or down or remains the same. When appealing a re-evaluation decision, the student accepts this condition.
