Students occasionally submit blank assignments even though they typed their answers into the answer document. This is very frustrating to students who spent time completing the assignment.
One of the reasons that empty assignments are uploaded is because the .pdf file (the document that was edited by the student) was not downloaded to the laptop before the student started typing the answers. To prevent this scenario, the file must be downloaded and edited on the laptop.
