I was just curious if there are penalty points for final projects posted past the due date in the Path to Programmable 3, or they compete in the challenge at the same rank as the projects submitted in time?

I've had a few people wrote back to me about some serious health issues they had during the program period. When I learn about personal issues like this I usually give an extension, which is my policy for all my programs. But this should be for the final project. Credit for the training blogs has been closed for awhile. As for the closing time of day, my feeling has always been that we have people in different time zones, so the closing time should be within a day of the posted closing day. I had not considered penalty points. I suppose that's the point of the deadline, anything past that would not be eligible for any points. It seems like I need to take a closer look at deadlines. Thanks for making me think about it.
I personally like that we're lenient and understanding of people's situations and that we're positively rewarding action, not negatively detracting from action. Post on time and within the time period? Points. Post late? No points are better than negative points, because what you've already submitted is valid.
