    others. You need to do the calculation for your own
    questions.
    Three attempts for each assignment, Highest score is counted
    After you start the attempt you have 72 hours to complete the
    attempt. The Canvas system will automatically submit for
    you after 72 hours, even though you have not completed
    the assignment.
    You are given a period of time after the assignment is
    published to do the three attempts. You cannot access the
    assignments after the due date. You will not be given
    second chance as the allowed time should be sufficient.
    Practice questions
    To pass or get good grades in this course, you need
    to practice problem solving. Just doing the canvas
    assignments is not enough
    There are practice questions available in canvas.
    You just do them at home. No marking. If you
    have questions you can ask tutors.
    The practice questions can be found in two folders:
    “Practice Questions” and “Additional practice
    questions” answers are avialalble in the folders
