• These timings for each assignment will depend on
  class size and material produced by students. The
  aim is to help and encourage students who are
  carrying out research to write a basic paper on
  their research. Thus, over the weeks, as complete
  as possible paper will be produced and then
  submitted as Assignment 7, which will be due on
  the last day of the semester. The amount of
  research done by each student will vary. This is
  not important, but the student needs to write up
  as much has he/she has available for each
  assignment. Depending on student numbers, the
  speed of looking at the assignments may vary.
