Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 19 November 2020, 9:57 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. 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. Note:You are highly advised not to upload your assignment in the last minute. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Saturday, 8 August 2020, 9:34 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.

You can resubmit many times until the deadline. This feature of overwriting previous submissions ensures that your module teacher will only receive the latest submission for checking. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 19 November 2020, 9:58 AM)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: Thursday, 19 November 2020, 10:05 AM)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. | ||

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 8 September 2020, 10:51 PM)Bank Accounts: What is an IBAN? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number and is a number attached to all accounts in the EU countries. It is made up of a unique code that identifies the country in which the account is opened, the account holder's bank and the account number. The IBAN helps to make the process of cross-border payments easier and faster. The bank assigns an IBAN to your account. You need to use the IBAN when sending interbank transfers or wiring money from one bank account to another, especially across international borders. The structure of the IBAN is as follows: The country code NL / 2-digit control number / 4 letters that identify the bank / 10 digits, which consist of the current account number supplemented with zeros. Example of a Dutch IBAN: NL73 INGB 123 456 78 00 | ||
