ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSIONS
In some occasions, you may be required to submit a video tutorial assignment. Video assignments may be requested for the following reasons:
1) As a conditional requirement for a grading where the instructor feels the student needs to put in extra preparation work.
2) As an opportunity to acquire more grading points where the student is short of the required points for eligibility for grading.
3) As a conditional requirement for a student who is offered a grading retest (usually in 1 month).
Only submit an assignment if you were specifically asked to do so. To submit your video assignments, follow the dropbox link below to upload to your videos;
