The convergence rate of the boundary penalty finite element method is discussed for a model Poisson equation with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a sufficiently smooth solution. It is proved that an optimal convergence rate can be achieved which agrees with the rate obtained recently in the numerical experiments by Utku and Carey.
