Late work will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue. The formula used is:
\[adjusted\;score = {0.95^{days\;late}} \times original\;score\]
Extra-credit opportunities may be announced in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted here, or noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try.
Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 5% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue thereafter, using the formula above.
