Can I submit assignments after they are due?
This course uses the flipped (inverted) classroom structure:
- Prior to each class session,
you will watch some videos, do some reading in the textbook, and take a short quiz to gain a
basic understanding of the material for the session.
- During the class session,
you will do exercises (with one-on-one help as needed) to gain a deep
understanding of the material for the session.
The exercises that you begin at one session should normally be completed before the following session.
- For example, the exercises that you begin at session 4 should normally be completed before Session 5.
- If you keep up with your work, you will often finish the in-class exercises during the session.
But:
- It is perfectly OK to bring questions about the exercise to the following session,
and to finish up the exercise at that following session.
- For example, bringing questions about the Session 4 exercise to Session 5,
and finishing the Session 4 exercises in the first part of Session 5,
is fine.
- There is no penalty for turning in an assignment at any time
until the end of the second class session after the assignment was
given.
- For example, Session 4 is on Monday,
so that it should normally be completed before Wednesday's class.
However, there is no penalty for turning it in as late as the end of Friday's class.
But avoid the trap of routinely getting behind on the exercises!
- If your submission of an exercise is not satisfactory,
you have until the end of the next class meeting after you are told it is not satisfactory
to make the necessary corrections and resubmit.
- If you fail to complete an assignment per the above,
you must meet with the instructor immediately to discuss whether you should continue the course.
Don't abuse this policy.
If you fall behind, it is very hard to catch up.
