Written assignments (computer lab projects as well as the written portion of the final project) are due promptly at 11:59 PM on the due date. They may be submitted in advance via email to (jrb2004@med.cornell.edu), or may be handed in on paper (suitable for scanning) or CD during class hours. It is strongly suggested that you leave sufficient time to deal with technical issues (computers crashing, e-mail not work, hungry dogs, etc.) when handing in assignments.

You have up to five days of extensions/grace periods for written assignments. They must be taken in whole day increments (even if you are just two minutes late for a particular assignment). In addition to some extra time for you, this policy is also intended to provide relief from technical issues as described above; please don’t ask for any additional extensions.
