Assignment Information

Mandatory Cover Page

We will be requiring a mandatory cover page to be submitted with every assignment which must be signed to show you acknowledge the academic integrity requirements. This cover page will be the 1st page of the posted assignment that you can print out to sign and scan. Signing a digital copy is also fine.
If you are unable to print out the cover page or sign a digital copy, you should write your own statement (using the wording provided) and submit a picture of it (signed) like you would for the rest of your assignment.

Submitting PDF Files on Crowdmark

Crowdmark is the system that will be used for submission and grading of assignments this term.

• After submitting, check your submission to ensure it is complete and easy to read. The pages should be in order. They should not be upside down, too dark, too light or too small. If you notice a problem, you can resubmit before the deadline. Resubmissions completely erase all previous submissions. If your pages were submitted out of order we can remark your assignment with a 15% penalty applied on the entire assignment.
• Crowdmark may allow you to submit past the deadline, but all late submissions (beyond the allowed late deadline) will be assigned a grade of zero regardless of circumstances. Therefore, you should plan to complete and submit your assignment early giving you time to troubleshoot if things go wrong.
• Submissions which are too difficult to read may not be marked.

The following are some methods to submit your files on Crowdmark (make sure they are as clear as possible):

• Hand-write your answers on the template you downloaded from the Crowdmark link and scan them. If you don't have your own scanner, scanners are available in the CHIP office in EC2 and in the DC library (see CHIP facilities and DC library services). You may know of other areas on campus that make scanners available.
• (Least desirable) Hand-write your answers on the template you downloaded from the Crowdmark link and take a picture (all pictures will have to be exported to a PDF file). However, you must make sure your answers are clearly legible for markers.

If getting a pdf of a diagram or "hand-written" answers to assignment questions will be a problem for you, please email the course ISC as soon as possible (and not just before a deadline).

Late Assignments

Late assignments will be accepted for only up to 48 hours after the due date/time and with a 10% penalty per day.
The same penalty is applied if the assignment is 1 second late or 24 hours late.

NOTE: Normally you can access Crowdmark multiple times to hand-in an assignment. However, if you submit an assignment late, you will only be allowed access to Crowdmark ONCE, and only if you have NOT submitted anything beforehand. If you wish to submit something late (and take the late penalty) and Crowdmark will not give you access, e-mail your assignment to the course ISC. The time the email is received will be considered the official submission time.
