Cultural Tip
In French academic settings, the verb « rendre » is the standard term for handing in assignments, essays, or exams. It sounds more formal than « donner » or « mettre ». When speaking to a professor or a supervisor, keep the tone polite and consider adding a courtesy phrase such as « Je vous tiendrai informé(e) » (I will keep you informed).
