Top tips for answering coursework assignments
Read the Specimen coursework assignment and answer for this unit, available on the unit webpage.
Read the Learning Outcome(s) and related study text chapter for each question before answering it.
Ensure your answer reflects the context of the question. Your answer must be based on the figures and/or information used in the question.
Ensure you answer all questions.
Address all the issues raised in each question.
Do not group question parts together in your answer. If there are parts (a) and (b), answer them separately.
Where a question requires you to address several items, the marks available for each item are equally weighted. For example, if 4 items are required and the question is worth 12 marks, each item is worth 3 marks.
Ensure that the length and breadth of each answer matches the maximum marks available. For example, a 30-mark question requires more breadth than a 10 or 20-mark question.
