It will also affect your grade. Every week there will be a new homework assignment which will be due by the next class meeting unless otherwise specified. All assignments will be available from the course web page. Extensions will be granted in extenuating circumstances, but they must be applied for in advance. Do not attempt to give an excuse for absent homework on the due date.
Late homework is a bad idea.
Late homework will result in academic reports, extra assignments, and possibly failure to pass the course. Homework is on time if it is turned in before class on the day you have class. Homework turned in after this is late and will be penalized. Homework turned in one week or more late will not be accepted at all. For this reason, you will sometimes be given the option to make up for late or missing assignments by completing extra projects.
