- When I was an undergraduate all of the open assessments here were multiplied
- by a factor depending upon when they were handed in in relation to the
- deadline. Deadlines were usually noon on Wednesday, and the scale went
- something like this:
-
- Hand-in by noon on Wednesday: Scores 100% of marks
- Hand-in by 5pm on Wednesday: Scores 95% of marks
- Hand-in by noon on Thursday : Scores 90% of marks
- Hand-in by noon on Friday : Scores 80% of marks
- Hand-in by noon on Monday : Scores 50% of marks
- Hand in after noon on Weds. : Scores 0% of marks
