HOWEVER, due to what is required to adequately answer the essay and conduct the policy analysis, it would be very likely you cannot complete this in less than 1500 words, thus we expect most students will be very close to the 1800 word limit. ]]> 2021-04-01 14:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sslsmm/o9gj4a2selicvp6w/wish/1375559545 https://padlet.com/sslsmm/o9gj4a2selicvp6w/wish/1411354493 If you were going to physically sit this examination it should take you no longer than 2 hours to complete. Because you are doing this at home you can do it at anytime over the 24 hour period and take as long as you want to complete it - so you do not have a time limit of 2 hours, you could do the MCQ in the morning , the short answer in the afternoon and finalise the long answer that evening. Thus you can submit the different sections of the exam at any time over the 24 hours, not within a 2 hour window. ]]> 2021-04-13 11:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sslsmm/o9gj4a2selicvp6w/wish/1411354493 https://padlet.com/sslsmm/o9gj4a2selicvp6w/wish/1427024024 Please ensure you look at the guidance and teaching, you have been given information of the policy you are to use.

NO, please ensure the answers are in your own words, you should not be providing quotes or copying information directly off slides or from literature, this is you telling us your answer to the question based on what you have learnt from the module
