Course policies and general questions

Homework deadline extension policy
Each day of active reserve duty (מילואים) between homework publication and a deadline qualify you for one day of deadline extension. Send a request by email to TA in charge. Supply:
- ID number and full name of you and your homework partner
- scan of the relevant documents
Late submission policy
You can submit a homework after the deadline according to the following rules:
- if you have a personal deadline according to the deadline extension policy, late days are calculated relatively to it
- first three days of late submission for the whole semester (not for each homework) – without a penalty
- each additional day – with 3 points penalty per day

Number of late days is calculated as (exact time of your submission - exact time of the deadline), rounded UP to the multiply of 24 hours. For example, 1-minute late submission receives the same penalty as 23-hours-and-59-minutes late one.
How to submit late?
Electronic submission – as usual through the course site. Paper submission – to the physical mail box of the TA who is in charge of the homework. Mail boxes are located on the 5th floor.
