Late homework should be turned in electronically with a hard copy
slipped under the office door
of either Professor Balan (for
the discovery thread) or Professor Levermore (for the portfolio thread).
There will be no penalty if this is done before the assignment is graded.
There is a penalty of one point per day for each day after that.
