Assessments

Assignments

Submitting an assignment in Moodle 4.1 may involve uploading single or multiple files, copying and pasting from a document, typing directly into Moodle, or simply reading the instructions in Moodle but completing the assignment outside it.

When preparing your assignment for submission always make sure that you:

• carefully read and follow all assignment instructions and requirements
• upload your submission well in advance of the deadline in case of any technical difficulties.

The information below covers how to submit a standard assignment on Moodle.

Many assignments are connected to Turnitin, the text-matching software that Monash uses to help you demonstrate your academic integrity. You may also be required to submit video assignments.

See the resources linked below for more information about video and Turnitin assignments.

Quizzes

Quizzes in Moodle are often self-checking, that is, you will be able to see the results at the end of an attempt. They can be graded or non-graded, and can be in a variety of formats including, true or false, multiple choice, or short-answer questions.

When you first access a quiz, you will typically see an academic integrity notice pop-up. You must read and agree to the statement to continue to the quiz page.

Feedback and grades

In Moodle, you can view your grades and feedback for assessments that you have undertaken (e.g. quizzes and assignments).

Grades and feedback for each assessed task will be available as soon as your lecturer has released the marks. For self-graded assessments such as quizzes, the marks may be available immediately after your attempt. For manually-graded assignments such as essays, it may take a couple of weeks to receive the marks.

You can view grades and feedback for a specific task, an individual unit, or all of the units that you are undertaking.
