You will have few lectures more and some practicals to conduct. These are the instructions for your further studies and evaluations under AT1101. 

For online activities:

1)  You will have allocated time period to follow the lesson content (Presentations, videos, extra readings) for each section under At1101. Then it will be evaluated by a quiz or any other activity. This is not the quiz inside the lessons.

2) When it is a quiz, you will have a maximum of 03 attempts for each. The highest mark will be accounted to continuous evaluation. The activity will be closed after the allocated time period.
