5. How are your assignments graded? Give an example.

Ans: (Algoma University, n.d.)Submissions must be presented in the manner requested for each
particular assignment. Each submitted assignment has its own rubric depending on the
assignment’s goals and objective. After being submitted, assignments will be graded by the
professor and returned to the student with feedback. Student evidence of having relatively
demonstrated or mastered these criteria will be assessed and graded. For example, during Unit
3.2, Students will be assigned groups in this unit by the instructor. They will work in these groups
to complete the “Group” Learning Activities, as well as the Group Project. Each group will form a
Team in MS Teams to use for communication and meetings when completing all group work,
which will carry 2.5% of the final grade.

6. When is your Unit 3: LA 3.1 - Simulation (Group) due? How can you submit it?

Ans: This is a group learning activity for students. Students need to communicate with each
other by making a group in Microsoft Teams. Make a Timetable and post that will be suitable for
everyone as it’s a group activity so every student on the team will have to present, then Students
shall demonstrate in a hypothetical workplace. Download the pdf and upload it on Moodle.
