Teacher Comments:
Olive you seem to have rushed this assignment, you have missed out Q2. You have contributed factual and valuable opinions and
provided clear answers but your answers could benefit from further investigation. It was important to mention the fuel crisis and
the British Government specifying the design criteria so well done! The attached document gave you all the technical and design
innovations of the mini for Q4& 5, however, you elected to discuss your own and I have taken that into account. Your final
evaluation has some valuable points, try to elaborate on your answers with as much detail as possible. Discuss the wise range of
people that choose to buy a mini. Think of its iconic status, use in a city and long distance. Your choice of images are classic
designs and could have been written about with much more detail.
