What is the consequence of repeated late submissions as defined by the Corpus?

The consequence of repeated late submissions, as defined by the Corpus, indicates that a pattern of late submissions may indeed result in a lower overall grade. This policy emphasizes accountability and encourages students to adhere to deadlines while recognizing that consistent tardiness can negatively affect their performance. By implementing this measure, the Corpus promotes a structured learning environment where timely submissions are crucial for maintaining academic standards and integrity.

In contexts where late submissions occur without any penalties, students might not feel motivated to submit on time, potentially leading to a decline in the overall quality of work submitted. Conversely, severe consequences, such as automatic failing grades for late submissions, would be disproportionate to the infraction, especially if a student has valid reasons for their delays. Thus, the approach taken by the Corpus strikes a balance by providing an incentive to submit work punctually while allowing for academic assessment and improvement opportunities.
