Assessment 2 is a take-away exam which will be available on KLE for 24-hours for students to answer and submit their answer via Turnitin File. Although students have been given significant time to complete this exam script, we expect most students to spend no more than 3 hours to complete and submit their answers via Turnitin (with a maximum of 2,000 words). Answers should be as accurate and concise as possible.
