Assignment Details - Instructions and requirements

Complete Workflow: Completing and Submitting an Assignment

This step-by-step workflow shows you exactly how to complete an assignment from start to finish, ensuring you get the best grade possible.

Phase 1: When You Receive the Assignment (Day 1)

How you'll know there's a new assignment:

You'll receive a notification:

• 📱 Push notification: "New assignment: Chapter 5 Math Problems - Due March 25"
• 📧 Email notification to your parent (they'll remind you!)
• 🔔 In-app notification badge

Step 1: Check the assignment immediately (2 minutes)

Even if you're not ready to start, review it right away!

1. Open 4SCH app or log in to website
2. Go to Assignments → Pending
3. Click on the new assignment

Step 2: Read ALL the instructions carefully

Don't just skim! Read everything:

Assignment: Chapter 5: Quadratic Equations Practice
Subject: Mathematics
Teacher: Mrs. Adeyemi
Due Date: March 25, 2026 at 11:59 PM
Total Points: 20 points

Instructions:
Solve all 4 quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.
Show all your working. Answers without working will receive
half marks only.

Submit your solutions as:
- Handwritten work (scan or photo - must be clear)
- Typed document (Word or PDF)

Formula: x = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / 2a

Step 3: Download any attached files

Teachers often attach:

• ✓ WorNGNeet with questions
• ✓ Worked examples
• ✓ Rubric (how you'll be graded)
• ✓ Reference materials

Action: Click "Download All" and save to a folder on your device.

Step 4: Plan your time (1 minute)

Calculate how much time you have:

• Assignment posted: March 18 (Monday)
• Due date: March 25 (Monday) = 7 days
• Don't wait until the last day!

Smart planning:

• Start: March 19 (Tuesday after school)
• Finish: March 23 (Saturday)
• Review & Submit: March 24 (Sunday)
• Buffer day: March 25 (in case of problems)

Add to your calendar or planner:

• "Start Math Assignment - Tuesday 3pm"
• "Finish Math Assignment - Saturday"
• "Submit Math Assignment - Sunday by 8pm"

Success Strategy

Never submit on the due date! Always aim to submit 1-2 days early. This gives you time if:

• Your internet goes down
• File won't upload
• You realize you made mistakes
• You have questions for the teacher

Phase 2: Doing the Work (Days 2-5)

Creating the right environment:

1. Find a quiet place:

   • No TV or loud music
   • Good lighting
   • All materials ready (calculator, pen, paper, textbook)

2. Eliminate distractions:

   • Put phone on silent (except for timer)
   • Close social media tabs
   • Tell family you're studying

3. Set up your workspace:

   • Have the downloaded worNGNeet printed or on another device
   • Keep 4SCH open to check instructions
   • Have scrap paper for rough work

Working through the assignment:

For our Math example:

Question 1: 2x² + 5x - 3 = 0

1. Identify values:

   • a = 2
   • b = 5
   • c = -3

2. Write the formula:

   • x = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / 2a

3. Show your working:

   x = [-5 ± √(5²-4(2)(-3))] / 2(2)
   x = [-5 ± √(25+24)] / 4
   x = [-5 ± √49] / 4
   x = [-5 ± 7] / 4
   
   x₁ = (-5+7)/4 = 2/4 = 0.5
   x₂ = (-5-7)/4 = -12/4 = -3
   
   Answer: x = 0.5 or x = -3

4. Check your answer:

   • Substitute x = 0.5 into original equation
   • 2(0.5)² + 5(0.5) - 3 = 0.5 + 2.5 - 3 = 0 ✓
   • Correct!

Repeat for Questions 2, 3, and 4

Quality checklist for each question:

• Read question carefully
• Show ALL working (don't skip steps!)
• Circle or highlight final answer
• Check answer by substituting back
• Write neatly (if handwritten)

Phase 3: Preparing Your Submission (Day 6)

Option A: Handwritten work

If you did the work on paper:

Step 1: Review your work

• Did you answer all 4 questions?
• Is your working visible and clear?
• Are final answers clearly marked?

Step 2: Scan or photograph

Best practices for photos:

• ✓ Use good lighting (natural light is best)
• ✓ Place paper flat on a surface
• ✓ Take photo from directly above (not at an angle)
• ✓ Make sure ALL work is visible
• ✓ Check photo is clear and readable

Bad photo example:

• ❌ Blurry text
• ❌ Shadow covering some work
• ❌ Cropped so question 4 is cut off
• ❌ Too dark to read

Good photo example:

• ✓ All 4 pages clearly visible
• ✓ Sharp text that's easy to read
• ✓ Proper lighting
• ✓ Nothing cut off

Step 3: Combine into one PDF (recommended)

Use a free app like:

• CamScanner
• Adobe Scan
• Microsoft Lens
• iPhone Notes app

This creates: ChineduOjo_Math_Chapter5.pdf (one file with all 4 questions)

Option B: Typed work

If you typed your solutions:

Step 1: Format properly

• Use proper mathematical symbols (±, ², √)
• Number each question clearly
• Include the question before your answer
• Use consistent formatting

Step 2: Include diagrams if needed

• Insert images or hand-draw and scan
• Make sure they're clear

Step 3: Save as PDF

• File → Save As → PDF
• Name: ChineduOjo_Math_Chapter5.pdf

Why PDF and not Word?

• ✓ Looks the same on all devices
• ✓ Can't be accidentally edited
• ✓ Usually smaller file size
• ✓ More professional

Phase 4: Submitting Your Work (Day 7 - Submit Day!)

Timeline for submission day:

Saturday Evening (1 day early):

8:00 PM - Final review (10 minutes)

1. Open your PDF: ChineduOjo_Math_Chapter5.pdf
2. Check EVERY page:

• ✓ Text is readable in the preview?

If preview looks wrong:

• Click "Cancel"
• Check your PDF file
• Re-upload

If preview looks good:

• Proceed to next step

8:13 PM - Add optional message to teacher

Good messages:

"All 4 questions completed with full working shown.
Please let me know if you have any questions."

"I found Question 3 challenging but I showed my attempt.
Could you please provide feedback on my approach?"

Don't write:

• ❌ "Here" (too brief)

Checking Your Grades

See how you're performing in all your subjects.

How to View Your Grades

1. Go to Grades or Results from the main menu
2. Select the term/semester
3. You'll see your grades for all subjects

What You'll See

For Each Subject:

• Test scores (CA1, CA2, Quiz, etc.)
• Exam scores (Midterm, Final Exam)
• Your total/average
• Grade letter (A, B, C, etc.) or percentage

Overall:

• Your average across all subjects
• Your position in class (if school shows this)
• Comparison to previous terms

Understanding Your Grades

Continuous Assessment (CA):

• Tests during the term
• Assignments and projects
• Class participation
• Usually 30-40% of final grade

Exams:

• Midterm exam
• Final/end-of-term exam
• Usually 60-70% of final grade

Total Grade: CA + Exam = Your final grade for that subject

Grade Scale

Most schools use something like:

• A (70-100%) — Excellent
• B (60-69%) — Very Good
• C (50-59%) — Good
• D (40-49%) — Pass
• F (Below 40%) — Fail

(Your school may use a different scale)

Downloading Your Report Card

At the end of term:

1. Go to Grades or Results
2. Look for Download Report Card
3. Click to save as PDF
4. Print it if your parents need to sign it

What to Do If You're Not Happy with Your Grades

Don't panic! Here's what to do:

1. Identify the problem

   • Which subjects are you struggling with?
   • Was it just one bad test, or is it ongoing?

2. Review your mistakes

   • Look at which questions you got wrong
   • Understand why you made those mistakes

3. Ask for help

   • Talk to your teacher during break or after class
   • Ask your parents if you need a tutor
   • Form study groups with classmates

4. Make a plan

   • Study more for that subject
   • Do extra practice problems
   • Review your notes regularly

5. Track improvement

   • Check if your next test score is better
   • Keep working until you see progress

Stay Positive

One bad grade doesn't define you! What matters is that you learn from it and improve. Many successful students had setbacks and came back stronger.

---

Your Attendance Record

Track whether you're attending school regularly.

Why Attendance Matters

Good attendance is important because:

• You learn more when you're present in class
• Many schools require 75-80% attendance
• Poor attendance can affect your exam eligibility
• Teachers notice and appreciate consistent attendance

Checking Your Attendance

1. Go to Attendance from the main menu
2. You'll see:
   • Today's status — Present, Absent, or Late
   • This week — How many days you attended
   • This term — Overall attendance percentage
   • Calendar view — Visual showing which days you were present/absent

Color coding:

• ✅ Green — Present
• ❌ Red — Absent
• ⏰ Yellow — Late
• 🏥 Blue — Excused absence

Understanding Attendance Percentage

Your attendance percentage = (Days present ÷ Total school days) × 100

Example:

• Total school days: 100
• Days you attended: 85
• Your attendance: 85%

What's good attendance?

• 90-100% — Excellent! Keep it up
• 80-89% — Good, but room for improvement
• 75-79% — Borderline, try not to miss more days
• Below 75% — Concerning, you may face consequences

What If You Need to Miss School?

If you're sick or have an emergency:

1. Tell your parents immediately
2. Parent should contact the school (call or message)
3. Bring a note when you return (from parent or doctor if you were sick)
4. Your absence may be marked as "Excused"

Excused absences usually don't count against you as harshly as unexcused absences.

Catching Up After Absence

When you miss school:

1. Check 4SCH for assignments you missed
2. Message classmates to find out what was covered
3. Talk to your teachers to get notes or extra help
4. Submit late work as soon as possible

Warning

Don't skip school without a good reason! Attendance is tracked and poor attendance can:

• Lower your grades
• Get you suspended from exams
• Result in disciplinary action
• Affect your ability to graduate
