Marking Schedule Report structure including layout Scope of Assessment Data Analysis Total % 25 60 15 100

The allocation of marks gives an indication of the time-commitment to be devoted to each aspect. Report writing skills are important. If the report is difficult to follow or contains typos and spelling errors, you are unlikely to obtain further business from clients. There is nothing intrinsically difficult about report writing yet many students underperform on this issue. For this reason, 25% of the marks have been allocated to encourage you to improve your report writing skills. There is no reason why you cannot obtain almost full marks for this aspect. It is expected that considerable time will be devoted to the proposal, as this requires you to develop your ideas and technical views of the property. For this reason 60% of the marks have been allocated to this task. It is important for you to use secondary data and analysis, However primary data is not necessary to do so. This has been allocated 15% of the marks. It is expected that the finest and professionalism of report shall be submitted for approval.
