Okay, seems Iโm full of questions this evening.
Peeps who work in academia, plsโฆ How do late penalties on assignments work? This is going to sound so stupid, but I really am confused about this. I always thought the late penalty was applied to the final mark, but it seems not. It is applied to the total possible mark? Can someone give me an example of how this is applied? (Also, is this standard across Universities?)
As someone who has submitted quite a few assignments late this semester, the penalty per day is taken off per assignment. E.g. submit assignment five days late and 10% lost per day --> a 70 becomes a 20.
I feel like this is standard across unis, but could be wrong.
