Take Note:
This is the answer guide to Assignment 6. Please note that on honours level it is

- Analyse a broad range of information;
- Identify what information is relevant to address a specific
context/scenario/problem
- Integrate relevant information into a logical argument
- Apply relevant information to the context/scenario/problem in a clear and logical
manner
The answers below are therefore a basic guide in terms of
correctness/appropriateness/relevance of information and indicate an average to
above average impression of demonstrating the honours competencies above. To
obtain distinctive marks you need to elaborate and explain your answers rather
than just provide bullets or cryptic lists of the correct issues at hand.
