FOR3701 ASSIGNMENT 1 SEMESTER 1 2025 (524148) – DUE 29 MARCH 2025 QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED ANSWERS The primary objective of this assignment is to familiarise you with the five Learning Units (LU) associated with this module. The questions in this assignment cover each Learning Unit, encouraging you to engage with the entire study guide thoroughly. In this assignment, you will encounter crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles offer several educational benefits. They foster creativity, develop critical thinking skills, reinforce subjectspecific content, aid in pattern recognition, and improve memory (Mashayisa, 2020; Torres, Williams, Kassahun-Yimer & Gordy, 2022). These are vital skills for investigators to develop. Word games and puzzles have a longstanding tradition in African cultures. They serve as sources of entertainment, platforms for sharing traditional knowledge and wisdom, and as mental exercises (Akayuure & Ali, 2016). Therefore, the concept of a 'mental challenge game' like a crossword puzzle should be familiar. Furthermore, using a crossword puzzle in assessment is motivated by sound crime investigation principles. Crime investigation can be likened to solving a puzzle. As an investigator, you consider various options when initiating an investigation. Some options are eliminated throughout the process as they fail to meet the criteria. Ultimately, upon completing the puzzle (or investigation), only one correct answer per clue should remain— the one you deem correct. When answering a crossword puzzle, you may follow any of the following methods: You may complete your answers on the PDF using the “add text” option. OR If you have a printer, you may print it and complete it by hand. This document must then be scanned and added to your finalised assessment as ONE document – not a set of documents. OR
