This compulsory assignment consists of multiple-choice questions that should be
completed online.
Please note: Although students may work together when preparing assignments, each
student must write and submit his or her own individual assignments. It is unacceptable
for students to submit identical assignments on the basis that they worked together. That
is copying (a form of plagiarism). Students who do this may be penalised or subjected to
disciplinary proceedings by the University.
