“An automatic deduction of 25% of possible points (in this case, 37.5 Points) will be applied as the penalty on assignments received after the deadline and up to 48 hours after the deadline. Deliverables will be not marked and a grade of zero earned, if submitted later. “ (See Course Outline)

Note that students are required to document their written reports in an appropriate fashion. Direct quotations from other sources need to be highlighted between quotation marks, with the source indicated, and a consistent policy followed in citation where data or ideas are being cited from outside sources. For students in doubt how to do this, one method is shown in the document “How References Should be Documented in Mini Projects. Failure to give any referential information, to qualify the report, will be a basis for earning a grade of zero marks on this assignment.
