Can I submit assignments after they are due?

This course uses the flipped (inverted) classroom structure:

• Prior to each class session, you will watch some videos, do some reading in the textbook, and take a short quiz to gain a basic understanding of the material for the session.
• During the class session, you will do exercises (with one-on-one help as needed) to gain a deep understanding of the material for the session.

The exercises that you begin at one session should normally be completed before the following session.

• For example, the exercises that you begin at session 4 should normally be completed before Session 5.
• If you keep up with your work, you will often finish the in-class exercises during the session.

But:

• It is perfectly OK to bring questions about the exercise to the following session, and to finish up the exercise at that following session.
  • For example, bringing questions about the Session 4 exercise to Session 5, and finishing the Session 4 exercises in the first part of Session 5, is fine.
• If you need more time than that (e.g. if you have not completed Session 4 by the end of Session 5), you must contact your instructor immediately to determine how to catch up.
  • And if you cannot catch up promptly, you should probably drop the course at that point.
• Sometimes you may turn in an exercise that your instructor feels you need to work more on. You should do such work promptly (usually before the next class session) and resubmit the exercise.

Don't abuse this policy. If you fall behind, it is very hard to catch up.
