Do not email your exam document; submit it to the appropriate dropbox on Blackboard.

Answers to questions are to be typed in complete sentences. When formulating your

composition should there be multiple errors in the submission. Take your time when
structuring your answers and review them prior to submitting for marking.
Your answers will not require references. Feel free to indicate a chapter or lecture you are
drawing upon for your answer, but you do not need to be more specific than that.
Draw upon the chapters in the textbook and lectures for facts and information to include
in your answers. Some of the questions may require you to use more than one chapter to
support your answer.
Each student's exam will be assessed by SafeAssign for plagiarism and unauthorized
collaboration. Please ensure that all answers are your own work
Each question is worth 10 marks, for a total of 40 marks. The exam is worth 30% of
your final grade.
