RSK4803 Assignment 01 Feedback The assignment consisted of 6 questions. Students were alerted that they will be penalised if not all the questions were answered. We have decided that a penalty of 2 marks (+ 5 %) per question will be appropriate. Mark allocation will thus be as follows: Student achieved 100% for the marked questions, but did not answer questions 4 and 6. The student will thus be penalised with 4 marks, which will be subtracted from the overall mark, and a maximum of + 90% will be allocated for the assignment. Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to assess your knowledge and understanding of the theory of the module. Please refer to Sections 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 to ensure that your assignment meet the editorial requirements.
