I will be responsible for marking your assignments.
Only the latest submission will be marked.
- 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.

All extension requests should be directed to the professor.

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.

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.
