Over 20 years ago the penalty was to total possible. And hand in on last day got 50% automatic, unread, unmarked, no feedback.
Can you please show me how that works?
So say the mark was out of a possible 40 and the mark was 35 but there was a penalty of 35%.
What happens then?
35% of 40 total mark achievable is 14.
You would lose 14 marks out of whatever you scored.
Thank you so much! This is what I was trying to understand.
Back when then: you would get a possible mark cap. X-cut off the top. 2 days late your possible 100 has become 90.. I assume the actual math to be computered or discretionary.
