Yes your tutor will be sent a notification when you upload an assignment so there is no need to tell him/her yourself.
Once an assignment has been received your tutor will work to make it as quickly as they can but please be patient, some of our tutors have quite a few students so this may take a little while. We aim to mark all assignments within 2-4 working days but if you feel you have been waiting longer than usual please feel free to get in touch with your tutor and ask why this is.
