Instructions to Students: Element 011: MOD005409 Assessment

1. Answer All SIX questions
2. The reflective parts for each question have 6 marks and limited to 50 words. This is about capturing concise/key conceptual understanding; exceeding word limit for this part will result in penalisation and your reflective writing will be marked out of 3
3. The data for some questions must be taken from your SID. Not complying to the instructions provided in each question, will result in mark reductions.
4. The deadline will be stated on the Canvas assignment page
5. This work will be submitted to Turnitin
6. Marks have been allocated individually to each question, adding to 100
