A penalty of 1 mark per day will be deducted for late labs, 1% a day deducted for late final projects. You must hand in late labs before the class has the lab handed back (for most labs, this means you have a maximum of one week after the lab is due to hand it in). If you are unable to complete a lab in time, you must contact your TA before the lab is due.

Note that University policy dictates that the final determination of marks must follow the official Faculty of Arts guidelines for the distribution of marks. You must complete all labs and the final project in order to pass the course.
