Examination
The examination paper for this module will contain five questions of
which four must be answered in 2.5 hours which is different from previous
years. Question 1 is compulsory and will attract 40% of the marks available
for the paper. It will require four short answers. Each other question will
contribute 20% and will be similar to those set in previous years. The questions
have been set roughly in proportion to the number of lectures given by each
of the lecturers on the course.
