If students only submit answers for one question, give them an opportunity to re-submit on
the OAS. They will need to apply for permission from the CC. They can only re-submit
after the CC has approved their request. If there is no response after a few reminders and
the deadline is over, grade them only on the part submitted.
A GENTLE REMINDER
No marks are to be written on the student essay. The students will be able to see their final
marks and grade on the OAS. Appropriate comments on student strengths and weaknesses

must not only be related to grammar mistake. Write the comments using ‘you’ and not ‘the
student has not answered...”
