There's actually never any penalty for late notes,
and only a modest one for late quizzes (A- max, rather than A).
Deadlines flexible (until I turn in grades),
certainly not late until I grade, which is toward middle of the next week.
I will be contacting each of you individually soon, re scores of Week 1...
Thank you!
