I would check with the course operators if you can, as they may expect with or without natural arrangement. If in doubt, I would say not, because natural arrangement will give you things like voice-leading, e.g., convenient-to-play inversions and possibly omitted notes or substitute notes.

I'll briefly explain voice-leading in case it's new ... it's the act of keeping changes of the notes within a progression close to each other, rather than jumping around, so I-IV-V7 in C might be played as C-E-G C-F-A D-F-G.

Edit: The chords are largely as expected, but the inversions of those chords will affect the sound quality. In my example I've also dropped the B from the V7 (G7) chord.
