Assignments
If you need information on how to plan, draft, and submit your assignment, follow the 21 Academy presentation on Writing and Submitting your Assignment.
We are also making the 21 Academy's Assignments Rubric available for your guidance. This is a performance-based assessment tool. Tutors will use the rubric to assist them in allocating scoring while also allowing students to understand what is required in the assignment and how it will be graded.
Referencing Style
Your assignments, presentations, and reflective notes should be referenced using the Harvard referencing style. Please follow this video to understand this referencing style. Harvard Referencing Style.
Submitting Assignments - Turnitin
The Academy will notify you that assignment questions are available through email. Through another email sent to you by Turnitin (probably on the same day), you will be notified that you have been added to a "class" where you may upload your assignment(s). Assignments should be submitted by not later than 23:59 hours of the assignment submission deadline shown on the Assignment Submission form and/or the "class".
At 21 Academy, you can submit more than one draft of your assignment before the submission deadline. The last version uploaded at the submission deadline will be considered your final submission paper and will be the one that is assessed. Make sure that your final submission does not go beyond 20% similarity when including direct quotations (the sentences in-between quotes).
Follow this very short video to understand how to submit your assignment through Turnitin: submitting a paper
To understand the similarity report generated by Turnitin, follow this 1-minute video: understanding the similarity report
