If you submit an assessment task late, what is the standard penalty for lateness (assuming that you do not have medical or other documentation supporting the late submission)?

The standard penalty is 5% of the maximum possible mark for the assessment task per day (or part thereof) after the deadline.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- "Maximum possible mark" means the total marks the assessment is worth (e.g., 100, 50, 40).
- "Per day (or part thereof)" means any lateness up to the next 24-hour boundary counts as a whole day.
- The penalty is applied as a percentage of the assessment’s maximum value and deducted from the student’s awarded mark.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Determine the number of days late (count partial days as full days).
- Multiply days late by 5% to get the total percentage penalty of the maximum mark.
- Convert that percentage to actual mark points (percentage × maximum marks).
- Subtract those points from the mark awarded to the student.

3) Calculation examples (showing intermediate steps)
Example A: Assessment maximum = 100 marks. Submitted 2 days late. Student’s raw awarded mark = 78.
- Penalty percentage = 2 days × 5% = 10%.
- Penalty points = 10% × 100 = 10 marks.
- Final mark = 78 − 10 = 68.

Example B: Assessment maximum = 40 marks. Submitted 3.5 days late (counts as 4 days). Student’s raw awarded mark = 32.
- Penalty percentage = 4 × 5% = 20%.
- Penalty points = 20% × 40 = 8 marks.
- Final mark = 32 − 8 = 24.

4) Why this answer is correct
- The policy specifies a flat 5% of the assessment’s maximum per day. This ensures a consistent penalty scale regardless of the student’s raw score and is what option B states exactly.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- A and C: "of my own mark" would make the penalty depend on the student’s achieved mark (not the assessment’s maximum) and is not the stated standard policy.
- D: 10% of the maximum per day is twice the standard rate and therefore incorrect.

6) Conclusion
This reasoning confirms the correct choice is B: 5% of the maximum possible mark for the assessment task per day (or part thereof) after the deadline.
