Please note the maximum marks that may be awarded to you for each task that you perform in this assignment as in the table below. Please also cross-read more task details in the next section. For some tasks, marks are distinguished between “Content” and “Format”. That is: • Content refers to the information provided in the write-up, diagram, chart, or table. The content should be relevant for the specific task/scenario. For example, with a cost/benefit analysis the information or content is the numbers, calculations and required discussions. • Format refers to the layout and syntax used in the diagram or table. The format should follow that recommended in the Style Guide on Moodle (or if not covered in the Style Guide, then that used in lectures or the textbook). For example, with a cost/benefit analysis the spreadsheet must be laid out in a specific way, and be easy to read.
