ASSIGNMENTS (ASGMT)
~JAN 2020 SEMESTER~

All January 2020 intake

Assignment Submission Deadlines

have been extended by 1 week

from the original submission dates.

Kindly see pages 7-9 for the

updated Assignment Submission Deadlines (highlighted

in yellow).

Date: 26 March 2020 (version 2)

1) ONLINE ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION (OAS)

The OAS system is provided to facilitate the submission of Assignments and the return
of marked Assignments to students in an efficient manner. It removes the hassle of
travel by both tutors and students whilst eliminating the need for printing. The audit trail
and tracking of Assignments are also made more efficient.

As such, please note that Assignments for ALL WOU courses will only be accepted via
the Online Assignment Submission System (OAS).

Likewise, applications for Assignments Extension will also be fully online.

The online Assignments submission and application for Assignments extension are both
available at the OAS which can be accessed via https://assignment.wou.edu.my

ASSIGNMENTS Extension Application Module at OAS

Students who wish to apply for Assignments extension must provide valid reasons
together with (scanned) supporting documents and submit the application electronically
through the Online Assignment System (OAS).

ASSIGNMENTS Re-submission Application Module at OAS

Students who wish to apply for Assignments re-submission must provide valid reasons
and submit the application electronically through the Online Assignment System (OAS).
Manual request for Assignments re-submission will no longer be accepted. Students
may only apply for Assignments re-submission only once. The approvals for
Assignments re-submissions by your Course Coordinators are on a case by case
basis.

Students who apply for Assignments re-submissions are advised to check the On-Line
Assignment Submission (OAS) system regularly for your Course Coordinator’s
approval. Upon approval you are allowed only the next 2 days to re-submit your
Assignments into the OAS.

Students who have any problems in submitting Assignments or applying for extension
on-line are requested to contact the nearest Regional Office for advice and assistance.
2) SUBMISSION OF ALL STUDENTS’ ASSESSMENTS
IN TURNITIN FOR ORIGINALITY CHECKING

Turnitin (http://www.turnitin.com) is a web-based service that allows user to find and

highlight matching or unoriginal text in written assessments. It allows students to submit

their draft written assessment to the service for checking. At the end of the scanning

process, Turnitin then generates an Originality Report online which students can refer to.

The Originality Report summarizes and highlights all matching text found in the submitted

assessment.

Undergraduate and Postgraduate students are required to passage their assignments

through the Turnitin system before uploading them on the Online Assignment System
(OAS).

[Note: A few courses may be exempted from this requirement. Refer to the guidelines
provided in the assignment questions of your respective courses.]

For research or project-based courses, students must attach the Turnitin Similarity index
report to their final submission or reports.

Please note that Turnitin submission is NOT the same as Online Assignment System
submission.
 For further assistance on Turnitin, you can contact the following staff:

3) DECOUPLING OF ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION DEADLINES

The Assignment submission due dates, will no longer coincide with any specific Tutorial

dates as in previous semesters. Thus the Assignment submission deadlines will be fixed

on a certain date in the On-Line Assignment Submission (OAS) system – please refer to

these deadlines on pages 6-7 for your Assignment submissions.

Further note that these Assignment submission dates will remain unchanged although

some tutorials in certain Regional Offices may be postponed due to public or state

holidays etc.

4) NUMBER OF ASSIGNMENTS & ASSIGNMENT WEIGHTAGES

There are only 2 Assignments for all Undergraduate Programmes (except for certain
courses ie LHL331/05 Creative Writing, TCM207/05 Construction Project Case Study & BMK304/05
Marketing Research, WUC131/03 Learning Skills for University Studies which have 3 Assignments).

The overall Assignments weightages for all Undergraduate & Post Graduate Diploma
shall be 50% for its continuous assessment component (i.e. Assignments) and 50% for
the final examination component.

As of July 2016 onwards the continuous and final assessment weightages for
Postgraduate courses from the School of Business and Administration are to be revised
to 50% Assignments and 50% Exams (and for some specific courses 60% Assignments
and 40% Exams) instead of the current 40% Assignments and 60% Exams. This
change does NOT apply to other Postgraduate Programmes Programmes (i.e.
specialist courses in MBACM, MBAMPM, MED etc).

For actual ratio of the continuous assessment (i.e. Assignments) to final examination
component, please refer to the respective course outlines.
