摘要：We report the findings from a survey study that aimed to investigate the practices of writing assignments among distance learners. It was conducted in Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad. The students enrolled in the postgraduate program along with their tutors were taken as a sample. A total of 500 students and 50 tutors took part in the study. Data were collected through questionnaires. The study found that distance learners were poor in writing their assignments due to difficulty in understanding the study material, a lack in guidance from their tutor, domestic/job circumstances, and their absences from tutorial meetings. The study recommended TV/CD support for writing assignments.
