FAQ	Answer
1) I have submitted some of my essay assignments (eg. WA002) last semester (or earlier), do I need to submit again?	You do not need to re-submit if you have passed. If you are unsure of which pre-requisite you have not completed, please check the CD Portal (under My Account > Academic).
2) I have submitted some of my assignments last semester but it has not been marked yet.	Marking priority will be given to those who are due for WA. ie. Cohort 2019 will be given priority instead of Cohort 2020 as Cohort 2019 students will be heading out for WA first. CDO seek your understanding as we may take some time to look through all your assignments seriously. With the newly converted Quiz Assessment format, we aim to resolve this issue soon. But please bear with us on the transition phase.
3) I have passed my WA Quiz, WA001, WA002 and WA003, but CD Portal is still showing as "No".	Results for this opening period will only be mass updated on CD Portal by 19 Apr 2021 (one month after the closed deadline).
4) When is the next Quiz Opening Period?	Please refer to the projected timeline uploaded on your Work Attachment Course folder on Canvas.

7) Do I have to complete all the pre-requisites in one semester?	No, it's not necessary to do everything in one semester. In fact, we advise you to plan your time and space out your quiz attempts. Hence, do refer to the projected timeline on Canvas and plan ahead.
8) I saw that you have converted the Essay Assignments to Quiz Format. But I have previously submitted my assignments, do I still need to attempt the Quizzes?

9) I have attempted WA001/WA002/WA003 quiz three (3) times and still did not get full score, can I still go for my WA?	You are only eligible for WA after you have fulfilled all the pre-requisites.
