 Summary

• Take note of this briefing and the

documentation as failure to do so in the
past has resulted in students attaining very
poor marks and even failing completely.
• Allocate your time accordingly. Note that
students often throw marks away by poor
presentation and/or inadequate abstracts,
introductions, conclusions and, especially,
recommendations.
