Question: (Last edited: Monday, 18 September 2023, 1:52 PM)How are the Project Weeks graded? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: If you successfully attend and pass a project week, you should see the grade in Osiris as 1. Similarly if you pass 2 project weeks, you will see a grade of 2. If you attended 3 project weeks and you do not see it graded as 3 then that means that you failed your third project week. You should also refer to the comments given by the Project Week supervisor in your report submitted in the TurnitIn area as they give you a clarity if you have been passed or failed. Please note that you are not given a grade but rather a count of how many project weeks you have passed. | ||

Question: (Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)What is MEEs? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all
new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow
normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to
complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the
end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will
be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students,
the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be
completed in order to graduate. Why MEE? The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS | ||

Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 9 February 2022, 11:54 AM)Assignment Deadline: When is the deadline to submit my Type 2 Exams? What happens if I miss a deadline to upload an assignment on Turnitin? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer:
The deadlines to upload assignments are clearly shown in the Module Guide, the Online Module course area and in the Turnitin submission page. The upload area is visible to everyone who is enrolled at the online module area of the course. Please take note that the responsibility of checking the assignment submission deadline lies on the student. So always check the Module Online Area. You also need to consider the difference in the time zone that you are located in (for those who are not physically present in the Netherlands). Rules and regulations regarding deadlines to upload assignments at Turnitin are clearly indicated in the EEG guide of Wittenborg (Part 5 - General Assessment Policy). Should you face any technical issues, you need to contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline with the assignment and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Requests put after the deadline will not be attended to. If you miss the deadline to upload an assignment on Turnitin, you will have to wait for the next retake opportunity. Retakes can only be done when a student has attempted the normal exam (1st attempt).Note:You are highly advised not to upload your assignment in the last minute.

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 20 June 2023, 2:15 PM)Assignment Submission: What should I do if I have uploaded the wrong assignment? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Turnitin at Wittenborg allows you to resubmit your assignment multiple times by overwriting the previous submissions, until the due date. This means that if you have submitted a wrong document, you can resubmit again by uploading the correct document. The newly uploaded document will overwrite the previous one. You can resubmit multiple times until the deadline. This feature of overwriting previous submissions ensures that your module teacher will only receive the latest submission for checking. If you check that you submitted the wrong paper after the deadline has passed, the helpdesk cannot make any changes and you will not be eligible for a retake block. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:13 PM)Assignment Submission: When can I submit my assignment? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer:
The window period to upload assignments is open at least two weeks in advance of the due date. Avoid uploading your assignment at the last minute. Make sure to upload the assignment a day earlier to avoid complications such as technical glitches, lost internet connection, system overload etc. Submitting your assignment early also helps you to view your Similarity Index Report and ensure that the similarity index is below the 20% limit set by Wittenborg (Refer to EEG for more details). This allows you time to amend your assignment if necessary.
In case of technical issues, contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline, with the name of the module and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Request put after the deadline will not be attended to.

Question: (Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:12 PM)Assignment Submission: Will I get an extension in assignment submissions if the quality of Internet in my home country is poor? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer:
There is no extension of deadline for submitting assignments online. It is the student's responsibility to submit the assignment on time. Many problems can surface at the last minute, such as technical glitches, failed internet connection, system or software failure etc. It is better to upload your assignment one or two days before the deadline, so that in case you encounter technical problems, you have sufficient time to find alternative ways to submit your assignment. If the internet connection in your area is weak or unstable, it is best to find a library or a computer shop as an alternative. If you are still not able to solve your technical issue, please contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline, with the name of the module assignment and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Request put after the deadline will not be attended to. | ||
