It consists of two tasks, an SDD and a DDD task.


Each task has multiple parts (A, B and C), with each part being tackled and submitted independently of the others.


This means that in the classroom environment, Part A will be completed and handed in before Part B is issued.


You should tackle these parts individually as you would in the classroom.
