Hi All:

Another issue raised by one of you is on homework deadlines and the need for
flexibility. Flexibility is a good thing but deadlines are necessary to be
fair to all. The syllabus states the following.

"Late homework will not be accepted unless there is a reason why it was
impossible to perform the work in time given work and emergency conditions.
In that case, the written reason should be attached to the homework, which
will be graded on a pass/fail basis if the reason is accepted by me."

I am typically willing to apply this when students encounter unusually high
obligations at work. I normally ask about the number of hours that you have
had to work.

I hope that this helps.
