Quality

Nice job, some work went into this, you do decent work but theres something lacking One Day Late

Did the minimum required, eh, I guess itll do

Little obvious effort expended, says 2:00 in the morning, last minute job to me! Three Days late

No obvious effort expended, are you kidding me? Whose class do you think youre in?! Four Days Late

**Timeliness**

Two Days Late

**Late LawLet me remind you once again that if you are late for class on a due date, you lose half a letter grade. If you turn it in later in the day, you lose half a letter grade. If you turn it in the next day, you lose a letter grade. If you turn it in two days late, you lose two letter grades. No excuses, no exceptions, dont care what the reason is! If you know youre going to be out ahead of time it is your responsibility to turn your work in early or have a reliable person turn it in before the beginning of your class period.
