Shaun, this was a good assignment submission. However, you now just need to include a
bibliography and reference list and then your pass grade will be formalised. In addition, in order
for you to reach a merit, each section requires more detail with additional wider reading present
and applied throughout. Overall, I am very pleased and your booklet was very well presented.
