you full marks; you need to apply your own theoretical knowledge in practice.
▪ Please note: You should study the relevant section in your Study guide and thereafter draft
the assignment answer. There are no direct answers from the study guide, and you are
expected to do more readings about the topics asked?
▪ Copying and paste of the study guide and or any existing academic sources, website,
Wikipedia etc. is not acceptable and no marks will be awarded.
