      10/29/98 - Late assignments: It is my policy to accept late homework and lab assignments. 
                       However a penalty will be assessed. In general though an assignment done well but 
                       late will receive a better grade than one done poorly and turned in on time. Clearly 
                       one done well and on time will receive the best mark. With that having been said 
                       the following due dates are formally written here as they were announced in class: 
                       Soda Can and Tensile Test Combined Lab Report:
