Ok, so I'm taking a class called Advanced SQL. I submit all my assignments on time, answering all the questions the best I could, and I got a 22/50 Which isn't that good.
Anyhow, apparently, if I would have waited until after the assignment was due, then I copied and pasted the released correct answers to the questions (which the instructor releases to the class about 3 days after due date) I would have gotten a minimum of 50% on the assignments (25/50).
I have two 22/50 graded assignments. Why should I get less than someone who cheats and copies and pastes the correct answers from the released answer file when the assignment is overdue?
The syllabus says this (and the instructor has confirmed it):
Work must be submitted on time! Anything turned in late will be subject to points deduction of up to 50% (guaranteed 50% points deduction for work submitted after the answers have been released). THERE IS NO MAKE-UP or EXTRA CREDIT in this class although participation may be considered in calculating your final grade.
So no extra points for effort? For trying to answer the questions?
I guess I would have been better off cheating...
