The following narrated video provides a visual and auditory representation of some of the information included on this page. For a detailed description of what is portrayed in the video, open the video on YouTube, navigate to More actions, and select Open transcript.

Video: Assignments Overview shows you where to find and submit assignments.

Submit an assignment

When you finish your assignment, you must select Submit. If you don't, your instructor won't receive your completed assignment.

If your instructor hasn't allowed multiple attempts, you may submit your assignment only once. Before you select Submit, be sure that you have attached any required files.

1. Open the assignment. On the Upload Assignment page, review the instructions, due date, points possible, and download any files provided by your instructor. If your instructor has added a rubric for grading, you can view it.

2. Select Create Submission to enter your submission. You can use the options in the editor to format the text. You have creative control over how your content appears and the flexibility to change the order and appearance.

3. Select Upload Files to upload a file from your device, content collection (if you have access), or a cloud service such as OneDrive® or Google Drive™.

4. Optionally, enter comments about your submission.

5. Select Submit. The Review Submission History page appears with information about your submitted assignment and a success message with a confirmation number. Copy and save this number as proof of your submission. For assignments with multiple attempts, you receive a different number for each submission. If your institution has enabled email notifications for submission receipts, you'll also receive an email with your confirmation number and details each time you submit coursework.
You won't be able to drag files to upload, view confirmation numbers, or receive email submission receipts if your institution uses an older version of Blackboard Learn.

You can use Mail Drop to send files that exceed the maximum size allowed by your email account provider. Mail Drop uploads large attachments to iCloud, where they're encrypted and stored for up to 30 days.

If you have an iCloud account and you're signed in to iCloud when you click Send, Mail automatically sends the attachments using Mail Drop. Mail Drop attachments don't count against your iCloud storage.

If you don't have an iCloud account, or if you're not signed in, Mail asks you whether to use Mail Drop (to always use Mail Drop select "Don't ask again for this account").

If a recipient uses Mail in OS X 10.10 or later, the attachments are included in your message. For other recipients, your message includes links for downloading the attachments, and their expiration date.

You can turn Mail Drop on or off for an account. Choose Mail > Settings, click Accounts, select the account, click Account Information, then select or deselect "Send large attachments with Mail Drop."

See the Apple Support article Mail Drop limits.

A complete guide on punctuation rules and punctuation marks in the English language. Here you will find how and when to use different punctuation marks with useful examples and ESL images.

What is Punctuation?

Punctuation is a set of specific marks or symbols that we used to express the meaning of our sentences clearly and to make the flow of the text smooth. It shows us where we need to pause, it separates ideas from each other, it lets us know that a certain phrase is quoting someone else's words, and has a dozen other important functions.

To understand just how necessary and significant punctuation is, imagine the world where it doesn't exist. In that world, we wouldn't have known where one sentence ends and the other one starts because there wouldn't be any full stops. We also would have had no idea if a certain phrase is a question or not, since there would be no question marks. And how would we show our emotions in writing if we didn't have exclamation marks and ellipses? In short, punctuation, when used properly, makes things easier for everyone, both writers and readers.

Punctuation Marks

In the English language, there are fourteen main punctuation marks, and here is the list of them. Some punctuation marks, such as the full stop and quotation marks, are known by more than one name among English speakers.

Punctuation Rules

Full Stop / Period (.)

This is the most popular punctuation mark because you simply cannot write even a single sentence without using it. So, there are two most common uses of a full stop: to indicate the end of a sentence, or to follow an abbreviation.
For example:
Comma (,)

A comma is often used to separate different ideas in a sentence. However, it has many other uses as well, and it is important to remember them as well. Some of the most common comma rules follow.

1) A comma separates two sentences when putting a full stop between them seems to create an unnecessarily long pause.

For example:

Mark went by bus, and Allison took a train.

2) Commas separate items in a list.

For example:

We bought apples, peaches, grapes, and oranges in the fruit market.

3) A comma is used after an introductory word or phrase, such as at the end of the day, however, in contrast, etc.

For example:

Nevertheless, we managed to get home until sunset.

4) If you have a tag question at the end of your sentence, you also need to use a comma to distinguish it from the rest of the sentence.

For example:

You are going to the party this weekend, aren't you?

5) If you are directly addressing someone, you need a comma.

For example:

James, what are you doing tomorrow after school?

Question Mark (?)

A question mark, as its name suggests, needs to go at the end of every interrogative sentence instead of a full stop.

For example:

Exclamation Mark (!)

An exclamation mark added at the end of a sentence shows emphasis. Depending on the meaning of the sentence, it can indicate anger, happiness, excitement, or any other strong emotion.

For example:

Quotation Marks / Speech Marks (" ")

As their name suggests, quotation marks indicate direct quotations. You can also use them to show that a word or a phrase is being used ironically, or for titles of articles, book chapters, episodes of a TV-show, etc.

For example:

Apostrophe (')

An apostrophe has two very important uses. Firstly, it can be used in contractions in place of omitted letters. Secondly, it can show possession.

For example:

Hyphen (-)

Even though it looks very similar to a dash, a hyphen has very different uses. It's most commonly used to create compound words.

For example:

Dash (- or -)

There are two different dashes, the en dash and the em dash, the first being slightly shorter than the second one. The en dash is usually used to show a connection between two things, as well as a range of numbers, years, pages, etc.

For example:

The em dash can replace a comma, a colon, or parenthesis. You can also use it to put emphasis on the ending of your sentence.

For example:

Colon (:)

A colon is a punctuation mark you will come across very often in different circumstances. It can introduce an example, a list, an explanation, or a quotation. Or, you can also use it to emphasize a certain point.

For example:

Semicolon (;)

A semicolon is a punctuation mark that creates a longer pause than a comma but a shorter pause than a full stop. So, it can be used to create a pause between two independent clauses that are still closely related to each other.

For example:

Parentheses ()

In most cases, you will see additional information in parentheses. Usually, it can be omitted without creating any confusion for the reader.

For example:

My young daughters (aged 5 and 7) just love playing with our neighbors' dogs.

Brackets []

Brackets are, in a way, similar to parentheses. However, they are mostly used in academic writing and when presenting quotes. For instance, the writer can add extra information or fix mistakes in brackets, without changing the original quotation.

For example:

The witness said, "I could hear him [the policeman] but I couldn't see him".

Ellipsis (...)

An ellipsis creates an intriguing and mysterious atmosphere in the text. In addition, it can be used to show that some letters or even words are omitted.

For example:

Slash (/)

You might need to write a fraction, a measurement, or to suggest alternatives in your text. These are just three of the instances where you will have to use a slash.

For example:

For this recipe, you will need 1/2 glass of water and 3/4 glass of flour.

The car was going as fast as 120 km/h.

You need to press the On/Off button.

British vs American Style

Though British and American English have lots of similarities, when it comes to punctuation styles, there are some differences. Of course, if you're just chatting with friends who live in either Canada or New Zealand, you don't have to worry about them not understanding or judging you. However, if you're preparing an official and formal report that will be read by English speakers from a specific part of the world, you should be careful. Some of the most important differences are listed below.

Quotations

Quotations within quotations are treated differently in British and American English. According to the American style, you need to put double quotes (" ") to show the initial quotation and single quotes (' ') for any quotations within it. The British approach is completely the opposite: single quotes for the initial quotation and double quotes for everything within it.

Another significant difference is that the American style puts commas and full stops inside the quotation marks, while the British style doesn't.

For example:

"I can't go out tomorrow," John sighed, "because, as my dad said, 'you'll go out when hell freezes over.'" (American style)

'I can't go out tomorrow', John sighed, 'because, as my dad said, "you'll go out when hell freezes over"', (British style)

Titles

In American English, you should follow people's titles by a full stop: Mr, Ms, Mrs. However, this isn't the case with British English. There, you would simply write, Mr, Ms, or Mrs.

Time

If you're following the American style, you need to separate hours from minutes when writing about time with a colon. The British style, however, states that you need to use a full stop. So, in America, you would say that the time is 11:20, while in Britain, you would say that it's 11.20.
