As you can tell each point has two aspects to it so please ensure you justify and explain each action you
list.
IMPT: The answer can be broken into the three aspects and then written in bullet points with each action
being its own bullet point. Even though the answers can be bullet pointed they still need to be correct and
well written sentences.
Submission: Write this as a word document then email it to brendon.timmins@op.ac.nz before 5pm Friday
