"Estimated Time to Complete" - This is just a guideline to assist you in managing your work load.  Do not wait until the last minute - some assignments may take you longer than others.  Of course, time will vary from student to student. 

If an assignment is turned in late, for any reason, it will be deducted 10% of what it is worth!!
