What is your homework policy?

On average, homework is assigned 1 to 2 days per week.
10 points will be deducted for each day that the homework is turned in after 
the due date.
After 3 days past the due date, the highest grade that can be achieved is a 
65.
I will accept overdue homework up until the day before the quarter ends.
All homework assignments will be posted on my homework web page.
