Students have asked that assignments be returned sooner to assist with completion of the remainder of the assessments.
Marked assignments will be returned sooner, potentially one week after the submission date. Assessment due dates will also be reviewed.
Assessment submissions were marked and returned within 7-10 days. Assessment due dates were altered to allow more time for students to prepare their submissions.
