You have to submit the assignments for each unit within a specific time frame. You will be able to submit the assignment only after attempting the quiz on that particular unit.
If you have any questions concerning the assignments or quizzes, you can seek the support of your Personal Tutor. After you have submitted the assignment and quiz, the faculty will evaluate and provide feedback, including results (your grade), within 21 days of your submission. If you fail, you will be given feedback on the assignment stating the reasons for your failure. You will have to rework the project according to the feedback provided by the assessor.
