Homework due at what time?

So I have said that the homework is due at the end of the day formally, i.e., 11:59pm on the day in question. That is still true. There are 'grey areas,' however.

Less formally, it will not be considered "late" if I am still awake after that time. Tonight that means you have about another hour or maybe 90 minutes. In general, 1-2am is a reasonable bet. If you're staying up until 2am doing homework, that is hardcore, and I'll give you some leeway ;-)

Minimal points are taken off for submissions arriving before I begin grading the homework, usually a day or two after the due date. Things happen, you get busy. Don't make it a habit.

Submissions after I have already posted the solutions online are taken on a case-by-case basis, but will receive some credit for at least bothering to copy the solutions. Learning by osmosis can work sometimes.

The message here is again: always turn it it. It is never given zero credit.
