Candidates are reminded that the work they submit should be their own work. It should NOT be copied from any other student(s)/textbook(s), nor downloaded from the internet. EDENZ Colleges takes very seriously any breaches of the college’s rules about copying, or plagiarism. The consequences of engaging in such activity may result in the ending of your studies with the college. Further, a simple restatement of theory will be insufficient to gain a pass level mark. This is because diploma level study requires more than just simple recall of theory. Instead it requires an analytical approach. All relevant EDENZ college rules regarding ‘assessments’ must be observed. LEARNING OUTCOMES ASSESSED This assessment covers the topics relating to the following learning outcomes of the course: a.
