guide and other recommended references as indicated in TUT101, and it is possible to obtain
full marks. Some questions require application, and in these instances the answers may not
be found in the study guide. The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that you get an
overview of this module, its requirements and the required study content that is incorporated

MCQs make an important contribution to the teaching and learning experience of students in

both detailed and specific information related to the EML1501 module. Another benefit is
that these questions can be answered quickly and can assess your mastery of many topics in a
short time. However, MCQs are not about guessing!
