Make some points regarding each question and then re-arrange these in a logical order.

of your answer. Give adequate attention to your introduction and conclusion. Make sure

version for submission, writing each answer neatly and underlining the points you wish to
emphasize. Make sure that the answer is within the stipulated word limit.
4. Use A4 size ruled paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Allow a 4cm margin
on the left and leave some space between each answer. This will facilitate the evaluator to
write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.

answers from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero

of such students will be rejected.
