analyse and apply the information in your study material. You
therefore need to deliver well-structured and wellpresented arguments
and solutions. Be wary of making statements without substantiating
and motivating them. It is essential to provide practical examples of
the application of theory in the public sector. Please note that you are

information sources. Note that Wikipedia, Facebook and YouTube are
not academic sources.

examination. No group work will be accepted, and cases of
misconduct will be referred to the relevant Academic Integrity Sub-
committee for investigation. Your marks will be affected negatively
should plagiarism be detected, or should you use non-academic
sources.

clarity of thought, use of content to support arguments and ability to
clearly explain how practical examples relate to the examination
question.
NOTE: At least 30% of the marks are allocated to the application
of the theory.
