Q: The best approach is to submit as many assignments as possible at the same time.
- True

A: False
If wrong: The best approach is to submit your assignments one at a time with an interval of several days between the submissions while making certain that you meet all of the submission deadlines. That way, if you fail to get credit for an assignment because you didn't understand some concept, you can work to gain an understanding of that concept, resubmit the assignment before the deadline expires, and avoid making the same mistake on two or more assignments.
