Submitting assignments correctly is the most important technical skill you need. Moodle provides a secure way to upload your work and receive proof of submission.

__TOC__

== 1. Locating the Assignment ==
Assignments are identified by an icon usually depicted as a hand holding a paper document 🖐️📄.
# Enter your course.
# Scroll to the relevant week or topic (e.g., "Week 4: Final Project").
# Click on the Assignment link (e.g., "Submission: Case Study Analysis").

== 2. Understanding the Submission Status ==
Before you upload anything, look at the '''Submission status''' table on the assignment page.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Status
! Meaning
|-
| '''No attempt'''
| You have not uploaded anything yet.
|-
| '''Draft (not submitted)'''
| You uploaded a file, but you have '''NOT''' officially submitted it. You can still edit it. ''Warning: Teachers might not see this if the deadline passes!''
|-
| '''Submitted for grading'''
| Success! Your work is locked and sent to the teacher.
|-
| '''Overdue'''
| The deadline has passed.
|}

== 3. Step-by-Step Submission Process ==

=== Step 1: Add Submission ===
# Click the grey button labeled '''Add submission'''.
# You will see a file upload area.

=== Step 2: Upload Your File ===
There are two ways to upload:
* '''Method A: Drag and Drop (Easiest)'''
** Open the folder on your computer where your file is saved.
** Click and hold the file.
** Drag it into the box with the big blue arrow in Moodle.
** Release the mouse. Wait for the loading bar to finish.
* '''Method B: File Picker'''
** Click the '''File icon''' (top left of the box).
** Click '''Upload a file''' → '''Choose File'''.
** Select your document and click '''Open'''.
** Click '''Upload this file'''.

=== Step 3: Save Changes ===
# Once the file icon appears in the box, click '''Save changes'''.
# You are now returned to the status page.
# '''STOP AND CHECK:''' Look at the status. Does it say "Submitted"?
#* If the system allows "Drafts", it might still say "Draft (not submitted)".

=== Step 4: Final Submission (The "Button of Truth") ===
If your status says "Draft", you must perform this final step:
# Click the button '''Submit assignment'''.
# Moodle will ask for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to submit your work for grading? You will not be able to make any more changes."
# Check the box confirming the work is your own (Plagiarism Statement).
# Click '''Continue'''.
# Verify the status is now green: '''Submitted for grading'''.

== 4. File Requirements ==
* '''File Type''': Most teachers require PDF (`.pdf`) or Word (`.docx`). Do not upload `.pages` (Mac) or `.gdoc` (Google) links unless instructed.
* '''File Size''': The maximum limit is usually shown on the upload screen (e.g., 50MB). If your file is too big, convert images to lower resolution or save as "Reduced Size PDF".

== 5. Editing or Removing a Submission ==
* '''Before the deadline''': If you haven't clicked the final "Submit" button yet, you can click '''Edit submission''' to remove the old file and upload a new one.
* '''After the deadline''' OR '''After clicking Submit''': You cannot change your file. You must contact your teacher or the academic office to request them to "Revert submission to draft".
