Assignments:

GIS assignments build upon each other, so it is important to keep up with your assignments. Students have one week to finish the assignments, which are due before class begins. Late assignments will be deducted 10% for every day they are late for up to 7 days, after which they will no longer be accepted (weekends count as one day). Assignments that are not submitted properly will be returned to the student. Re-grading of assignments is done only in exceptional cases and must be coordinated through the TA within one week of the assignment being returned.
