9. To evaluate, take a stance, then support that stance, don’t just repeat points
10. Don’t pad answers, be concise – no intros/excess writing is needed anywhere

[Gavin Duffy @GavinTBG]

5. Label anything you draw titles,lines,axes
6. Make sure your headings are statements not just titles
7. For ‘Discuss’, don’t use headings, just make two points in a paragraph
8. Use real examples where you can, and its fine to use examples as a 2nd point

[Gavin Duffy @GavinTBG]

1. Give 2 points of info for all points made
2. ABQ needs keywords from the course and a direct quote from the text
3. Finish the shorts & ABQ within the first hour
4. If a business e.g. SuperSave or Fantasia Clothing is mentioned in the question, mention it in your answers
