note that the computer that marks the multiple choice exam does not make
errors. Please note also that essays need to demonstrate that you
understand the topic. This requires clear English sentences
that explain experimental findings theories and mechanisms. Small
diagrams
are often helpful. Incorrect statements or incorrect diagrams will
not gain marks. It is not sufficient merely to show that you know
what part of the course is being asked about: you also need to
get the answer
right.
