(It was linear, on the order of 1% off every 15 minutes or so?) Since the program submission was online, there was no question about what time you turned it in. Your idea of weekly rate seems like a similar model, though honestly a week seems like a really generous block of time (from me, a non-teacher). <BR/><BR/>What about 10% off the top, and then 2% per day additional? Weekends could count as one day or two at your discretion -- they're more time to make up the work, but there's no way for the student to get it to you in between if you only accept work at school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
