If you intend to submit a piece of work for assessment six (6) days after the deadline, and you don't have any medical documentation or evidence of other serious extenuating circumstances to cover the lateness, what will happen?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Work submitted more than five (5) working days late without a valid excuse cannot be assessed. My work will not be marked and I will be given zero marks for that assessment task, in fairness to students who submit their work on time.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Institution lateness policy: many assessment policies distinguish a small daily deduction window versus a cut‑off after a set number of working days.  
- “Working days” excludes weekends/public holidays; “valid excuse” normally requires medical documentation or approved extenuating circumstances.  
- If a submission exceeds the allowed late window and no valid excuse is provided, the work may be deemed unassessable and awarded zero.

2) Step‑by‑step reasoning
- You plan to submit 6 days after the deadline.  
- The policy’s cut‑off is five (5) working days.  
- 6 days > 5 days, and you have no medical documentation or other accepted evidence.  
- Therefore the cut‑off is exceeded with no valid excuse, so the work cannot be assessed and receives zero.

3) Calculations (intermediate steps shown where options propose deductions)
- Option A: 6 × 5% = 30% deduction (calculation correct for that scheme but irrelevant if policy imposes a cut‑off).  
- Option B: 6 × 10% = 60% deduction (calculation correct for that scheme but again irrelevant to the stated policy).  
- Option D: 6 × 2% = 12% deduction (calculation correct for that scheme but not applicable here).

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Option C directly states the policy outcome for submissions more than five working days late without a valid excuse: the work cannot be assessed and will be awarded zero. This matches the scenario (6 days late, no documentation), so C is the correct consequence.

5) Why other options are incorrect (brief)
- A, B and D assume a continuous per‑day percentage penalty beyond the deadline. The given policy uses a five‑working‑day assessment cut‑off (not an ongoing percentage after that), so those percentage deductions do not apply once the five‑day limit is exceeded.

Conclusion: Given 6 days late with no valid excuse, option C is correct — the work will not be marked and you will receive zero marks, matching the provided answer.
