Writing Tips

Here are some writing tips that may help you improve the quality of your assignments.

Remarks

If you feel that a mistake was made on your assignment mark:

  • You must fill out a remark request form, attach it to your assignment, and submit it to your instructor.
    Note: the entire assignment will be remarked, so it is possible that your mark will actually go down.
  • Remark requests will only be accepted up to one week from the date that the assignment is handed back to the class. Requests submitted later than one week will not be considered.
