FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Question

Can I submit my assignment late?

Answer

No, you must submit your assignments on time. Lecturers do not have the authority
to change submission dates on the myUnisa system.

2. Question

Can I submit my assignment via email address?

Answer

No, lecturers do not accept any emailed assignment for marking purpose. All
assignments must be submitted on the Moodle platform.

3. Question

I submitted only part of my assignment. Can I submit the rest of it?

Answer

If you submit an incomplete assignment, it will be processed as a complete

document, that is, the system will not recognise that it is incomplete. If you submit
the same assignment again, it will be treated as a duplicate and returned to you
unmarked. Please ensure that your assignment is complete before you submit it. If
you work on a computer, please make sure that your complete answer is in the one
file/document that you submit. However, the Moodle platform provides you with
THREE attempts to submit the corrected file BEFORE THE DUE DATE. This
means, if you discover that your first file was incomplete, you can remove or delete it
and submit a new file - provided that the due date has not passed.

4. Question

I submitted the wrong file/module code/assignment. I have received 0% for it.

Can I resubmit the correct assignment?

Answer

No. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have submitted the correct
assignment. If you submit an incorrect document, it will be processed as though it
were the correct assignment, that is, the system will not recognise that it does not
contain the correct content. If you submit the same assignment again, it will be
treated as a duplicate and returned to you unmarked. If you are working on a
computer, please make sure that you use a descriptive name;

(e.g. “ENN1504_Semester_Assignment number _Student number_2023) so that

you submit the correct document.

5. Question

In which file should I save my final document?

Answer

After writing your answers in word file, please convert your assignment to a pdf file
and save it as indicated above.

6. Question

Are handwritten assignments accepted for marking purpose?

Answer

Yes. Handwritten assignments are accepted; however, you should ensure that an
appropriate scanner is used to scan your document. Please avoid uploading an
image file because it cannot open and, as such, marking cannot be done.

NB. Ensure that your handwriting is legible to assist us with the marking
thereof.

consulted?

Answer

declaration form. References are not necessary because assignment questions are
based on fictitious scenarios.

cannot copy paste the information, simply retype declaration form including your
name and surname for your signature.
