Section B is a structural essay questions where students need to only answer 3 out of 4 essay

the nature of the case study which require a little bit of analysis and this appears to be a bit
difficult for some students at a diploma level. Although, practice had been done in class on case
study, some students still have difficulties in answering analysis type of questions. Student did
quite well and answered most questions in Section B of the exam paper (structural essay
questions). Students who obtained good result (A, A-, B+,B) in the final exam showed that they

analytical ability.
