    Over 20 years ago the penalty was to total possible. And hand in on last day got 50% automatic, unread, unmarked, no feedback.

      Can you please show me how that works?

      So say the mark was out of a possible 40 and the mark was 35 but there was a penalty of 35%.

      What happens then?

        35% of 40 total mark achievable is 14.

        You would lose 14 marks out of whatever you scored.

        Back when then: you would get a possible mark cap. X-cut off the top. 2 days late your possible 100 has become 90… I assume the actual math to be computered or discretionary.
