Assignment 1 Marking

  • I will be responsible for marking your assignments.

    • No need to notify me about multiple submissions.
  • A brief explanation will be provided for each mark deducted.
  • Marks will be released after the professor’s review.
  • If you submit a couple of minutes late, there will be no late penalty.

Policy Reminder

  • All extension requests should be directed to the professor.
    • Please do not ask me for an extension.
  • Late assignments are penalized at a rate of 20% for the first day and 10% for each subsequent day they are overdue, including weekends.
  • Late assignments will only be graded if submitted no later than three days after the original deadline.
    • A grade of zero will be assigned after this period.

Assignment 1 Grade Appeal

  • If you have concerns about your mark, feel free to email me (yinz39@mcmaster.ca) to discuss.
    • Use the email subject: ENVSOCTY 2GI3 Assignment 1 Appeal
  • Partial marks will be awarded where applicable.
  • I strive for consistency in grading, especially for written answers.
  • Unless there is an error in my mark deduction (e.g., deducting a mark for a missing legend when your map includes one), it is unlikely that marks will be adjusted.
