Here are a few pointers when working on assignments:

• Pay close attention to the assignment instructions. The requirements may vary from course to course, and assignment to assignment.
• A rubric may be available to you so that you are aware of how you are being graded. If this is the case, make sure you review it carefully before starting your submission. 
• If you can submit an assignment more than once, take advantage of your teacher's revise-and-review process.
• Submit your assignment in the file formats your teacher requested.
