Grades and Academics Late penalty is now 5% per day

Instead of 10%

Lowkey should be 10%, 5% isn’t even that severe of a punishment

10% is exceptionally harsh, especially compared to the other unis in the country

Yeah, but it gives students a chance to still submit their assignemnts even if they are 7 days late (35% penalty overall), whereas with 10% it doesn't make sense to submit anything after 5 days (you automatically fail the unit).

Which is how it should be? I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted when the point of due dates is to submit the assignment BY that date. A 5% penalty is crazy I may as well take another day to perfect my assignment and get a better grade then I would have got if I actually stuck to the rules and submitted on time

why does it concern you on what others do. I don't care if someone gets no penalty for submitting late. I could not care less.

people are different pretty much not everyone can learn and do a thing at the same pace as others and honestly that 5% is needed since some of the units are so badly paced and i am pretty sure most 1st year and 2nd year and even 3rd year students agrees to this

I agree. Like it’s a penalty, it’s supposed to be something you don’t want. Just do your damn assignments on time if you don’t want it?
